Where is this?

Not the M&D unfortunately, but I've just come across this whilst sorting through my parents' photos. I suspect it is in the locality, but haven't a clue where. I thought it looked like a track recovery train, but the lines it's on look very well maintained.

I can't get much of a clearer picture as it's a tiny print, scanned on max resolution.

Any idea of a rough date, Phil?

I don't know the answer to this Phil, but you might like the clearer versions that I have made from the original photo that you posted.

Merry Christmas.

Very nice, Andy - thanks!

Merry Christmas.

There is software out there for us on computers PC to enhance and transform photo images. I don’t know the make and how it’s done but I’m 100% positive it can be done and made a lot clearer.
Then you might be able to find out the location!

I know Chris, this I have used. I used Picasa 3 to clear up the picture and Photo Pad to colourise it. Merry Christmas Chris.

The only slight clue is the number of insulators on the telegraph poles which indicates a line of medium importance - the M&DR had only 4 wires. It looks as though there was once another track on the right.
