Friend and fellow railway enthusiast Peter Rose has taken his camera for another daily walk and has sent me this selection of images for which I thank him.
Regular readers will know that he likes to see his images in their environment and I must admit that they look good against the rural background.
All the images were taken just South of Ambergate junction on the ‘Midland Mainline’.
The junction used to see Manchester bound trains heading Northwest and Sheffield and beyond bound trains heading Northeast.
Nowadays, the Northeast branch still sees heavy traffic whilst the Northwest branch is just that, a branch line serving the Derwent Valley stations until it terminates at Matlock.
We start with a train that has just joined the main line on its way from Matlock via Derby and Nottingham to Newark Castle.
