Nottingham to Grantham railway at Netherfield
The same location as https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1389644 from 2009. Since then the track has been relaid with continuous welded rail, and the signalling has been rationalised, with the signals previously locally controlled from Netherfield signal box now removed.

Colwick Yard Complex
View WNW from the footbridge over the line to the adjoining ex-LNW locomotive shed, to the western part of the vast ex-LNER Colwick Yards and towards Gedling etc. on the Nottingham Avoiding Line. The signalbox is Locomotive Junction, the great ex-GNR Locomotive Depot, with an allocation of over 200 engines is off to the left. It was a very difficult complex to access from public roads. My car is in the foreground. Fifty years ago, this was a very major railway centre, dealing with an immense freight traffic, especially coal, but all has long since gone in the modern age.

No entry to trainspotters
50 years ago, when this area was part of Colwick marshalling yards, this notice would have made sense. Now, it's just a question of reading the notice correctly!
