Details of The Templeton Collection
Reference: The Templeton Collection
Title: The Templeton photographic collection of British Railways steam locomotives
Description:

Comprises both colour and black and white negatives of British Railways steam locomotives, particularly in Scotland. Templeton had a special interest in breakdown cranes, and these feature strongly, with large numbers of photographs of derailments and minor accidents. There are also images of industrial locomotives and preserved engines, including photographs taken on rail tours organised by the Stephenson Locomotive Society.

 

A handwritten notebook records details of derailments between 1950 and 1970, but it is difficult to match the scenes described to Templeton's photographs.
