No 7 - Great Orme Tramway |
| Description: |
Cars are permanently fixed to the cable, and are stopped and started by stopping and starting the cable. As one car is ascending, the other is descending, and they meet midway. An overhead wire was formerly used for communication only between the tram and the engineer-driver in charge of winding the drum, and has been replaced with an radio-control system. |

60040 - DB Schenker UK |
| Description: |
In June 2007 EWS was acquired by DB Schenker, a wholly owned subsidiary of the German railway company, Deutsche Bahn AG. Since working for EWS/DB Schenker, Class 60s have typically been employed on stone, aggregate, ballast and petroleum traffic and also on steel trains. On this day the daily petrol train came empty, my bad luck. |

175 007 - ARRIVA Trains Wales |
| Description: |
This picture costs me almost a fine of 1000 £ (1340 $) because I was standing a few steps behind the no trespassing line. The signalman came quickly and told me that he has to stop all traffic because of it (!) and has to call the police. After some discussion he let me go without further action ... so this picture is free of charge. |
