eastwestdivide Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Two for the price of one - Tirano in 2014, narrow gauge RhB on the left with the Bernina Express, and Trenord standard gauge on the right. Another dual-purpose terminus next? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ardbealach Posted January 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2018 How about another narrow gauge terminus and adjacent standard gauge - this time the Talyllyn and Cambrian Coast steam at Tywyn Wharf in July 1965. Keep 'em coming! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 How about a terminus on a line that used to run through and now runs through again. Drumgelloch, which was for a few years the terminus before the Airdrie to Bathgate project saw the line reopened as a through route Keep them coming Jim 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted January 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Aguas Calientes in Peru and a pair of Alcos waiting to climb for 2 hours alongside the Rio Volcanito to Ollantaytambo. (Ours is the one on the right) There are three ways to get to Aguas Calientes. Train, helicopter or a 3 day hike....... Aguas Calientes is the passenger terminal. The freight diverts onto a branch just before the station and carries on into the town. The line carries further on to the end of the line at a hydro electric station. On busy days, one of the passenger sets heads there to run round. And that is the end of the line. Back in Cusco, there are two termini. They were both closed at the time of my visit. More end of the line please. Cheers, Mick Edited January 14, 2018 by newbryford 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted January 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2018 A little further north, Union Station in Los Angeles. We have seen a lot of busy stations and locations. How about something lonely to follow? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal.n Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) My favourite rail location. Corrour. Most isolated station in the UK, no roads, a signal box, hotel, youth hostel and nothing else for miles and miles. A long term layout dream (have already done numerous sketches, trackplans and building drawings), visited once, but am doing again by Sleeper this year. If anyone hasn’t been, please go, you will not regret it. Also the film location in both Trainspotting and Trainspotting 2.

EddieB Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Reference to mixed gauge termini up the thread prompted a few thoughts as to other examples where lines of different gauges terminate (not just meet) in the same station. I can think of a handful, more if you include adjacent stations on the same site. Here's one from Tatranska Lomnica (Slovakia), where the Tatra mountain system (metre gauge, electrified) terminates alongside a standard gauge branch line. Here's the metre gauge side - the standard gauge station can be seen just beyond the hedge to the right. Now the standard gauge station itself. Any more? (Termini, not necessarily mixed gauge). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
