2004 - Top 30
29th December 2004

The Top 30 most viewed pictures of 2004 (less the published images and last years top 40 which appear in seperate galleries) in their own gallery as voted for by the visitors to the site compiled at 17:00 30-12-04. A year of great change on the railway with notable events being EWS dispensing with the class 47's completely, the cessation of the Grids (on the mainland at least - for the time being?? whatch this space.....) - an event mourned by many concluding with a "farewell to the Grids" railtour 31-03-04 and the year long EWS contract supply top and tailed class 37's on ATN's Harrogate-Leeds-Carlisle-Harrogat diagram to name but three.
