Modern Railways
Welcome
Having been interested in railways from a young age i really only got into railway photography around 2004.
Today my main focus is on the modern day rail scene and photography in general with most photos coming mainly from the Hampshire, Dorset and the surrounding areas on the Southern Region.
Rail interests include DMU's, Freight and Branchlines.

New flickr Gallery
New photos can be found on my flickr Photo Galleries which includes general photographs as well as railway related photos.

This Modern Railway gallery is part of the ever expanding Hants & Dorset Railways community so if you have a gallery or rail collection that contains photos from the Hampshire & Dorset areas feel free to join.

All photographs contained within this website are the sole property and copyright of the photographer Chris Motteram.
For any non personal use of the photographs within this website please contact me before any use of the photograph.

Please note : All photographs were taken in or at public locations or with public access to that location, photographs not so taken were taken with prior written permission from official company sources or employees.

Finally a big thanks to all those that supply gen on the various local Rail groups.
