Approaching Keighley

Hello Peter very nice indeed .. i am pleased the weather let you get a few shots from your visit .. great info provided here also

Best wishes .... Steve

Hi Steve,

Thank you so much. This street is not so bad for pictures, there is shelter under the bridge, or if you are lucky, you might get a parking spot along here! Perhaps on a nice day the stone might look a little different!!

I like this composition Peter where the train blends in to the wider scene ~ Nice one ~ All the best ~ Nick

Hi Nick

Thank you so much. I am glad you like my effort to put the freight train into a more industrial setting.. And the miserable grey weather!

Best Wishes
Peter

You're almost in my neck of the woods Peter. Been a while since I was in Keighley catching these trains too. Well seen and brought to us here.

Cheers, Herb

Thank you so much Herb,

I must agree that it looks pretty much like any northern town would have looked, grey stonework, and plenty of rain.. Of course all the old relics are gone.. Maybe you can visit again on a nice summer day, and we'll see some nice pictures!!

My dear Peter,

Thank you for this wonderful sharing and the explanation. Dundee street is one of most beautiful at that old picture already. So I am pleased that it is there still. Unfortunately cities are changing quickly now...
You have done a beautiful background ,adding this old house!
I like the composition very much!!
A big YS!

Love Füsun

My dear Füsun,

Thank you so much. Your old picture was a very interesting find, and between us we did a lot of historic investigations, and yes, we found the last few old houses!!
Here, on this dull miserable day, we see a freight train coming down the branch line from Hawarth, and waiting to be allowed into Keighley station.
Certainly a lot of nice things to be discovered in the pictures!

Love Peter

Beautifully composed with all the different levels.

Thank you Gudrun

I am glad you like it. I am sure that if I brought a step ladder along then a few more options and angles might appear! Maybe next time!

This is a great scene Peter! One of my daughter's used to live near a railway line (not steam) not as close as this, but she loved the sound of the trains going by to their destination in Castle Cary, Somerset.

Best regards,
Rosa.

Thank you so much Rosa,

I am sure it must have been fun watching the big expresses go past, steam or diesel..
It is nice when you can see the railway activity, maybe this close! www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/47521246/in/album/930620

A beautiful capture, Peter! I've loved old steam engines since early childhood (especially the whistle!).

Hi Val,

Thank you so much for visiting! I am so pleased that you have found happy memories here!
I know there are a few preserved railways on the East coast of America, as I have been to them a long time ago (pre-digital age), but maybe I can post something from the Baltimore museum..
I must say that it is fun to sound the whistle.. Both driver and fireman can do it..

Best Wishes
Peter

A fabulous shot, Peter. That goes for your previous postings these past few weeks too, where I would have liked to have commented but haven't had the time! A YS or a simple 'excellent' (or similar) have had to do. Sorry.
Best wishes,
Andy
