A selection of action & 'still-life' photographs of the Bluebell Railway volunteer Permanent Way Gang.
Please remember that railways are dangerous places, and that I only have access to the lineside through my work with the gang.
Most heritage railways in the UK have volunteering opportunities. If you feel you would like to join in, then get in touch with your local railway.
The Bluebell Railway website gives full details of ours, and the link can be found on the gallery front page.
