BRITISH RAILWAY STEAM ERA MISCELLANY

Photographs in this gallery are of various items of railway trappings such as stations, signalboxes, engine sheds, signals and whatever else is not a locomotive. Took none of these, all have been bought and are part of my collection. 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.

ELTON - Situated on the Peterborough East - Northampton line, first station beyond the Junction at Yarwell, opened in January 1847. Seen here looking towards Oundle, the station is a good distance from the village. It closed in December 1953 and was subsequently demolished, althought the site is clearly visible from the road in the picture. The Nene Valley Railway has ambitions to extend as far as this and beyond towards Oundle.
