47 014, later to achieve fame in green, heads west on freightliner. 1985-05-21 00:00:00 |

37 095 brings in 9H76 Lynn - Whitemoor, presumably running this slow due to the old ballast wagons in the train. 1985-05-28 00:00:00 |

47 213 heads for March with 6H44 from Kennett/Barham. Redland must have been trialing the bogie wagons. 1987-08-28 00:00:00 |
47 576 shouldn't be too challenged by the load on 6H76 from Lynn today. 1987-08-28 00:00:00 |
47 639 powers past Horsemoor Box on 4E97 Coatbridge - Felixstowe. 1987-08-28 00:00:00 |

Almost until the advent of the Sprinters, they were still ETHing 31's and 31 462 is one of the later engines, here on 1M82 Norwich - Birmingham. 1988-05-14 00:00:00 |
37 888 has just passed Horsemoor Box on the 6R43 Kilnhurst - Ripple Lane bitumen tanks. 1988-05-14 00:00:00 |
Class 114 DPU 53004/54028 and a Class 101 form an Up Mail passing Horsemoor Box - I wasn't quick enough to get all of the numbers and a picture! 1988-05-14 00:00:00 |
20140 follows 20 021 as the pair head for March Depot light engine. Class 20 became much more common with the demise of Classes 25 and 45. 1988-05-16 00:00:00 |
31 226 and 31 116 pass Horsemoor Box with 8Z88, a special ballast working. 1988-05-16 00:00:00 |
31 229 heads a long down spoil train made up of old tippler wagons. 1988-05-16 00:00:00 |
Many 1st generation DMU's were displaced our way as Sprinters came in and our old 105's were withdrawn. Here is a three-car Class 108 51945/59149/52060 on an Up local. 1988-05-25 00:00:00 |
Two Class 108's sterngthend with centre cars from withdrawn Class 10o4's make a colourful sight as they head east. Lineside growth has destroyed this shot today. 1988-06-18 00:00:00 |
3-car Class 101's were never that common at March. Here 53149/59079/53170 head for Cambridge on a stopping passenger. 1988-06-18 00:00:00 |
20 145 and 20 202 pass Horsemoor Up Home on 6Y41, the March - Kennett Redland split. 1988-07-27 00:00:00 |
31 155 pass the Down Home with the Speedlink feeder from Kings Lynn. These trains were usually identifiable by the wagons in their trains. 1988-07-27 00:00:00 |
37 004 and 37 221 are on 4Z00 Felixstowe - Garston. Sometimes this train ran with three 37's. 1988-07-27 00:00:00 |
47 147 seems to be having some trouble with this huge down Speedlink train 1988-07-27 00:00:00 |

31402 heads for Whitemoor with the Lynn line concrete mixer train, taken just west of the level crossing. 1989-10-26 00:00:00 |

31422 in IC livery heads east with the work train for the Lynn electrification 1991-10-25 00:00:00 |
56 105 is returning to Mountsorrel with self-discharge empties from Bishops Stortford. 1991-10-25 00:00:00 |
43 067 is trailing on 47 588/91 005's train. The 91's were still on test and the HST's were acting as DVT's, the 82XXX stock not having been delivered at this time. Diversion due to ECML rebuild. 1991-10-28 00:00:00 |
Yes, mate, HST's at March! 43 096 leads on a diverted Sunday ECML train whilst the mainline was being electrified. This was a regular feature of Sundays for many weeks in 1991. 1991-10-28 00:00:00 |
47 588 is towing 91 005 on a Sunday ECML diversion with 43 067 in place of its DVT on the other end. 1991-10-28 00:00:00 |
58 022 approaches the crossing with first Redland portion. Generally, the Class 58 went light to Peterborough while the Class 60 worked the train onwards. 1996-09-05 16:52:00 |
58 012 heads for March Down Yard to join this, the first half of the Redland train, with the section following. 1996-10-04 16:00:00 |
60 078 arrives with the second half of the Redland train, just behind 58 012 with the first. 1996-10-14 16:25:00 |
31 407 heads east light diesel. I think that this was one of the best liveries ever and certainly suited the 31's. 1996-12-30 11:49:00 |
47 315 heads east with an extremely lightly loaded freightliner. 1997-04-15 16:14:00 |
58 012 heads for March with a short rake of empty 'Salmon' wagons. 1997-07-04 11:44:00 |
47 778 has a huge loadf on the Washwood Heath - Ely - I wonder why they cancelled this working? 1997-12-31 11:14:00 |
47 287 has just passed the crossing on the Washwood Heath - Ely, struggling manfully with this heavy load. 1997-12-31 12:16:00 |
55012, the 'Loadhaul Bubble', is on route learning duties in preparation for the opening (re-opening?) of the Stansted branch. 1998-01-29 09:34:00 |

47 205 heads for Felixstowe with 4L85 from Leeds. 1998-02-13 14:57:00 |
60 096 on a short rake of tanks. I have no idea what this train might be but it's not much of one for a 60! 1998-02-13 16:15:00 |
37 258 doesn't really seem to be struggling with this huge load! 1998-02-18 12:45:00 |
31 255 has collected these grain bulkers from Eccles Road. Att his time, March had a loco outbased from Peterborough for trip workings. 1998-04-06 09:46:00 |
37 509 heads east with rake of empty rail carriers. 1998-04-06 10:43:00 |
Trouble on the ECML often resulted in gE86 Ripple Lane - Immingham being diverted via Cambridge, as with 56 104 in this instance. 1998-04-06 13:51:00 |
The cloud is turning rather menacing as 56 109 passes on the diverted 4E25 Bow - Heck Plasmor empties. 1998-04-06 13:54:00 |
58 003 is on 6M12 Bishops Stortford - Croft ECC stone empties. 1998-04-22 14:40:00 |
37 194 on a short down engineer's train. 1998-04-22 15:21:00 |
37 174 is on a relatively well loaded 6L79 Doncaster - Harwich. Light loadings like these meant the train was doomed and it didn't run for long. 1998-04-22 17:31:00 |
47 484, despite appearance, is not light engine but on 6L79 Doncaster - Harwich. Shame about the livery! 1998-05-08 16:44:00 |
37 198 heads west with a couple of rail cranes. 1998-05-11 11:47:00 |

58 033 heads fopr Leicester with 6M12 Bishops Stortford - Croft ECC empties. 1998-05-11 12:47:00 |
37 800 is brining in the Eccles grain trip. This sometimes collected timber from Brandon as well. 1998-05-11 12:56:00 |
37 025 is on a very lightly loaded 6L79 Doncaster - Harwich. This train coould and di produce almost anything in the way of motive power and was always worth turning out for. 1998-05-14 16:15:00 |
47 283 heads west on 4E50 Felixstowe - Leeds, only photographable for a few weeks each year. 1998-07-24 20:22:00 |
47 157 is picking up speed again after slowing for March Station on 4L85 Leeds - Felixstowe. 1998-09-28 15:02:00 |
60 037 stretches away across the Fens on 6M70 Broxbourne - Mountsorrel empty Redland S/D train. 1998-09-28 15:18:00 |
60 027 must have unloaded 6M87 in record time as it only went up road 4 hours previously! 1998-09-28 15:38:00 |
37 047 and 37 213 are in charge of the empty sugarstone MEA's returning to Tunstead. 1998-09-28 16:03:00 |
47 783 is on what is almost a monster 6E77 Ely - Doncaster. 1998-09-28 16:10:00 |
56 090 is unusual motive power for the Redland 'Split' as it nears March. 1998-09-28 16:37:00 |
31 420 heads east light as 0G32 to collect the logs from Brandon. 1999-02-02 15:25:00 |
47 738 is Ely-bound on 6L76 from Doncaster. 1999-02-12 11:06:00 |
47 283 heads east light deisel, making quite a show. I suspect that this was a route learner from Ipswich as Freightliner light diesels were very rare along here. 1999-02-18 11:35:00 |
31 154 is bringing quite a rake of loaded OBA's on 6G31. 1999-02-18 13:15:00 |
56 093 heads the 'Split' (ex-Kennett/Barham) Redland empties back to March 1999-02-22 16:45:00 |
56 119 is super-power for 6G31, the March - Brandon empty OTA's. 1999-03-01 11:59:00 |
47 761 heads for Ely with 2 vans on 6L76 from Doncaster. At this time RES 47's were pretty well bankers on this train. 1999-03-01 12:12:00 |
