Mark,s Rail Phots
About Me
I am a passionate Railway photographer and like to shoot around the Lancashire area.I keep a weekly photographic record of any significant workings in the area.I also get around the country whenever I can because after all first and foremost I am a "spotter" at the end of the day.

Location:Blackburn

Welcome
Hi I,m Mark Ainsworth a life long rail fan with interest in mainly
Diesel traction ,but of late gone back to my childhood roots
with a growing interest of steam too.
