2018, the Rail Camera Club organised the ‘Rail Cameraman’ exhibition at Locomotion in Shildon to showcase the work of the club’s members. It was then a natural progression to hold a ‘Young Railway Photographer of the Year’ competition, the results of which were announced at the National Railway Museum in York on February 24. The same day also saw the RCC revert to its original name of The Railway Photographic Society to mark its centenary.
THE Young Railway Photographer of the Year 2022 book is compiled by John Hillier and Peter Townsend, with a foreword by Network Rail chairman Sir Peter Hendy CBE.
The intention of the competition was to encourage photographers under the age of 25 to follow in the footsteps of the RPS/
RCC’s existing members by producing high-quality images capturing the changing railway scene.
