Brompton Road 2nd railway station (site), Yorkshire
Opened in 1943 by the Catterick Camp Military Railway, this station closed in 1964. It had replaced an earlier station immediately behind the camera position.
View south towards Catterick Camp Central, standing on the former track-bed. The single platform would have been just to the left. All evidence of a railway here has been obliterated by later industrial premises.

Catterick Bridge station (remains), 1988
View westward, towards Richmond: ex-NER (Darlington) - Eryholme Junction - Richmond line. The station, also the Catterick Military Railway which branched off to the SW, served the vast Military Camp - the largest of the British Army, with 12,000 men - and therefore important, even after World War Two, the branch seeing regular Troop and Leave trains. However, it and the line to Richmond were closed to passengers from 3/3/1969 and to goods from 9/2/1970. The track, now a roadway, was lifted in October 1970 (the Goods Yard was the scene of a major explosion of ammunition in February 1944).

Catterick Bridge railway station (site), Yorkshire
Opened in 1846 by the York & Newcastle Railway, later part of the North Eastern Railway, on the line from Eryholme Junction to Richmond (Yorkshire), this station closed to passengers in 1969 and completely in 1970.
View west across the former level crossing towards Richmond. We would have been stood on the railway track which crossed the road, to the left of the street lamp and through the low wall. The station site is now mostly covered by the modern building.

New Road Bridge for A1(M)
To accommodate the widened carriageway through Brompton-on-Swale, various bridges are being doubled with the old bridge carrying the northbound and the new span the southbound. This is where the B6271 to Richmond is crossed.
