Bristolian - Part 12 - Way Home

Photos of motive and rolling stock, stations, signals and anything else train related in U.K. & Ireland! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space.

I could not resist posting this vintage painting of the famous Brunel-designed Box Tunnel portal in the days of the Great Western Railway. Missing from the modern picture is the architypical old GWR rotating disc and cross-bar signal and signalman to operate it. Lifted from this website (no picture credits mentioned - perhaps the artist is also missing, run over by the on-coming broad gauge train): http://www.touristnetuk.com/Sw/bristol/index.htm
