OK - I admit it; my brain was feeling really frazzled this evening after a long day, so I thought it was time to do something that didn't require too much thought ... and, thinking that the pictures at the top right have been around for a while, I've put a fresh set in.   All taken in the last month, all taken by me, all with rail and / or South Westish themes.   If you click on an image, you'll enlarge it ... which can you place (some are bloomin obvious, I know!).   There's a lot of them - shall we say a couple each?

I think 4 is Newport as well.

There's something horribly familiar about picture 40 ...

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) 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.

Yes - 4 is Newport, but not sure what you mean about 40;  it should be familiar, but not "horribly" so, I hope!
