MY RAILWAY PICTURES

Welcome

Welcome to my Railway pictures.

Apart from some older stuff and the occasional trip all the pictures are taken from around the Swindon area.

Traffic has reduced a lot over recent years so what freight there is and the odd special is a relief from a continuous diet of trams. (HST's)

Thanks goes to all those who share info that allows the Special's pictures.

Hope you enjoy your visit.
