Welcome to Mainline South, a gallery compiled by Richard Stiles. The main aim of this gallery is to record the railway scene across Europe. Most of the scenes that interest me are disappearing, with modernisation sweeping away the old (but interesting) infrastructure. My focus is primarily hauled workings, either freight or passenger. I hope you enjoy browsing through my photographs.
Trip to the hallowed DB ground in München, February 2010. The temperature was the coldest I'd experienced in a long time, bitingly cold but superb for photography.

Despite this being a portrait, it's one of my all time favourite shots due to the memory of the biting cold (challening conditions) and classic traction.
