This is one of the first photos I took with my new Werra camera in 1965. It's certainly the first railway photo. I started working for British Rail in a signal box in December 1964. The photo is of a Chester bound train taken at Rock Ferry on the Woodside to Chester line. Merseyrail electrics now operate this service. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.

My pal Pete lived near Utting Avenue in Liverpool. This photo was taken nearby in Morella Road as this is the only road which passes under the railway between Utting Ave and Townsend Lane on the Bootle branch. Really we missed many opportunities to photograph steam here. This must have been 1967 as there was now a regular service of about five trains per day running this route. It also stopped at all Southport line stations and was now a class 2 service, 2F55. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
