  3. FENLAND RAILWAY FOTOS

FENLAND CLASS 20

Included here are pictures all taken between Peterborough East Junction and Ely North Junction, all of the Queen Adelaide crossings included and the erstwhile Wisbech Branch. Some of the old 35mm slides from the '80's are a bit blurry but then those were the days of 65ASA film, 1/125th and Focus DIY. These are probably best looked at in large format. These pictures are published for pleasure/information/research purposes only and are not for sale or copy under any circumstances. Information in captions has been researched as thoroughly as possible but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

20021 and 20004 head east past Horsemoor with 6Y41 March - Kennett/Barham Redland stone, 31/03/88. The Up Redland split in March Up Yard, the larger portion going to Trowse with the train loco, the smaller to Kennett or Barham, as required, as 6Y41 with whatever March Depot could supply. The return empties also rejoined at March. Nothing in this picture remains today - both locos have been scrapped, the signals have gone, Horsemoor signalbox is in a garden in Murrow and even the willow tree fell down!.
