Welcome
Welcome to Railway Photography by Colin.P.Brooks.

I am a 44 year Railway Photographer living in Frinton on Sea in Essex working for a Global Telecomms company with extensie pictures of the Local and National railway scene between 1984 - 1991 ish.

I have approximately 8000 transparencies / prints from that period as well as some more upto date images having rediscovered my passion for Railway Photogrphy in early 2007.

I have been fortunate to have some digital images published and these can be found in the Pre-Digital and Digital Published images galleries.

Altogether approximaterly 3900 images have now been loaded up, with the the rest which will be loaded up over the next few weeks and months.

Images are resized at low Resolution (due to bandwith / sizing requirements). if a specific High resolution picture is required please contact me below and i will provide a high res image for you to purchase.

If you require or wish to use any of the images on this site for Commerical or Advertising purposes please contact me on the email address listed below to discuss further.

    About Me
    I grew up taking pictures of late lamented class 309 Great Eastern Electric Units also the local and railways scene between 1984 - 1991 (ish) . I have now scanned / uploaded about 3900 images & slides out of 8000 slides and addtional modern images in my collection and though it was about time i shared them with the world.

    I Made the move to digital through puchase of a Fuji 9600 finepix in june 2007 and am busy again in between work photographing the contemporary Railway Scene after a gap of about 10 years.

    I Have recently been fortunate to have some digital / Pre-Digital images published and these can be found in the Digital & Pre-Digtical Published images collections
