Mystery location 😎 - it's taking the Central Wales line at Craven Arms
<b>Travelling the railway in the British Rail era</b>
Between 1983 and 1991 I spent many, many happy hours with my friends riding the rails around the UK. I managed to record many of the trips and railway scenes encountered on film for posterity. Those days are now long gone, but happily the photos remain for me to reminisce over and share ;)

<b>View from the train - mystery location :)</b> In 1983 I went on a tour of all the mainline railways of Wales. Here is a view of myself doing a bit of window-hanging out of a classic hybrid 2-car Derby Class 108 / Met-Cam Class 101 DMU set - the clues to the location are the very tight curve (note the check-rails) and the semaphore signal! My guess is somewhere on the Central Wales line.

<b>Big challenge for all of you bashers out there - location?</b> - leaving Craven Arms heading west onto the Central Wales line - with thanks to <a href="/photos/39115940@N03/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Kenneth Leiper</a> - see Comments section below :)

<b>Slides that were nearly lost to oblivion!</b>
The original slide / transparency was rescued from a box of 'dud' slides that I could never quite bring myself to throw away - now I am glad that I kept them ;)

Taken with a Soviet made Zenith TTL camera and standard lens.
