Right, this is my first one of these, so please be easy on me. Basically can you tell me where these trains are. They are not at a station, so please tell me the nearest or in some cases, the line they are on will do. They are all in the FGW▸ area, but not necessarily served by FGW. I am not sure how hard I have made these. 1  2  3  4  |

As an after though, could someone please also tell me which one is the odd one out, and the two reasons why.

This looks like a fun quiz - many thanks for posting it. I think that no. 1 is near Southampton Central, and that No. 2 is on the Snowdon Mountain Railway judging by the gradient, with a main line unit on loan  . The water/lake in the background looks like it's in the right place too |

Well, thanks very much for setting such a 'challenging' challenge, cereal_basher!  Personally, provided such 'quiz' pictures are not taken at Taunton, I'd like to think I'd have a fair chance - but these are indeed rather more difficult! |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

You would be right in thinking Number 1 is near Southampton Central, but it's not the nearest station.
A for 2, now that is a long way from where it actually is.

1 is on the approach to Eastleigh, taken from the Campbell Road bridge (over the weekend?)

I like to travel. It lets me feel I'm getting somewhere.

Yes, yes, yes. Didn't even know that it was called the Campbell Road Bridge, but it sounds like you know what I was doing. |

I simply offer this, to those (perhaps like me!) who 'need to get out more': http://www.trainspots.co.uk/locpage.php?ts_number=898  |

suggest the St Ives picture is between St Erth and Lelant Saltings camera pointing South.

I'd tend to agree with that, taken from the road with the estuary behind? Been there myself  |

No, wrong, wasn't taken between St Erth and Lelant Saltings. I was actually about a mile from the nearest road.

St Ives line picture appears to be taken near 'Hawkes Point' crossing, (golf course off towards the right hand side).

It is indeed, being just down line from the crossing and on the opposite side to the golf course.
