  • Loaded train parked in front of the peat pile waiting to be dumped.
  • Two engines and an easy chair for the break.
  • Two engines at the dumper, surrounded by the usual industrial railway paraphernalia.
  • The workshop, rack dumper, and truck reload area.
  • View from the southeast showing two tracks full of stored empty racks, plus a few on their sides and/or dismantled.
  • Stored empty racks and an allotment patch where employees grow their own veggies on the side. This is rabbit country - note fence posts made of rail sections.
  • Only the barest of amenities... The engine shed with weed-covered track leading to it. It is questionable whether the engines would be safer parked inside or out.
  • Bog tractor parked in front of the workshop.
  • The pace is slow on peat railways. This stack of frames has been sitting here for at least 8 years, judging from the size of the bush having grown up through the middle of it.
