Welcome to the Prorail Photographic Archives
We are particularly privileged to provide a permanent home for the remarkable output of the late A.E. "Dusty" Durrant, renowned enthusiast and photographer of World Steam railways. His dedication to the task covered almost 50 years - from the early 1950s to the late 1990s - capturing approximately 50,000 images in the process!
Due to the size of the catalogue and the number of images available, we are preparing listings in distinct categories - by country &/or region. Representative selections are offered below in "Thumbnail" format complete with captions. Click the grid to select. For copyright reasons, these screen-view images have been watermarked.
You may also explore the wider range available in the full listings - all presented in loco running number order. Higher definition images - with/without enlargement - can also be made available for authors, publishers and private individuals. It is not proposed to offer a photographic print service at this time.
