Disused railway tracks, Hamworthy, near Poole
A disused railway line which had previously used by freight trains to and from the ferry port at Poole. Although the line was disused when this image was taken, the colour light signals were still operational - look for a red light peeping through foliage near the set of points.

Hamworthy Railway
The old Hamworthy Branch of L.& S.W.R. at Lower Hamworthy is still used about once a week by a goods train. The locomotive seems to advance towards the Ferry Port - decouple - return on the other track towards the rear of the stock - switch to the original track in order to pick up the rolling stock and reverse direction.
The locomotive in the photo is the "Vale of Pickering".

Disused railway tracks, Hamworthy, near Poole
Disused railway tracks leading to the ferry port at Poole. These tracks had been used for passenger trains to the original Hamworthy station, which was located in the middle distance in this image. However, the passenger trains had ceased as long ago as 1896. After that the line carried freight.
Contrasting with the disused tracks are recently-built apartment blocks. The apartments have views over Poole Harbour.
