Railway Links

These are links to other railway sites who have used my photos, or refer to them in one way or another. If you want to swap links, please just drop me an email with your link, and what it is that you have linked to, and I'll add it to this page.

From time to time I check these links, and remove them to the obsolete links page if the site is not accessible. Drop me a line if your site moves, and I'll keep the list up-to-date. Links with a date-time stamp indicate when the page was last checked.

I am currently restructuring these pages to be continent-based, which might help you in searching for what you want. Within continents, things are arranged alphabetically.

New Hampshire STEM Club

Grace Coleman of the New Hampshire STEM Club sent me an email outlining how children in the club found my train links page (this page) useful, and offered this link to add to this list. It is US-oriented, but much of the information has wider application. You may find it useful, too.

Southern Fuegian Railway

The Southern Fuegian Railway aka "The Train at the End of the World" is a picturesque railway line built to service a penal colony. Since the end of the Falkland War in 1982, the line has been rebuilt as a tourist railway, and I was fortunate to be able to travel on this line in 2015. If you ever get the chance to visit this line, please do so - you will not regret it!
