I always found Luxembourg a fascinating place railway wise. It was visited by many multi-national, multi Voltage locomotives.
Case in point here as French TEE-Arzens liveried BB 15006 works a Euro City train from Belgium to Switzerland in May 1994.
I was on my way to a Plandampf in East Germany and had a couple of days here en-route.
* Although relegated from Euro Expresses in 2007, sixty of these Nez Cassé (broken nose) locomotives remain in service.
On les appelait les "Reines de l'Est" et on les aimait avec leur livrée "grand confort" et leurs trains Corail longues. Cet après-midi en Mars 1999 la 15006 se dirige en direction Ouest avec un Strasbourg-Paris Est.

Withdrawn from RM in September 2022 as a result of route 248 lost to Arriva London North.
The bash ended on the 252, where a few Scanias were among the E400’s (conversely a few E400’s were on the 248).
This is 15006 on the stand at Hornchurch Town Centre. The day ended very unexpectedly with a pair of class 315’s (847 & 856) from Romford to Liverpool Street on what turned out to be their only diagram. 14.9.22.
The Badlands, especially the lower swamp lands and devilish mountain passes that lead into Loreos and all those surrounding the Shade, have become the homes to many of Roawia's less, civilized, races and creatures after being pushed out of their native lands. Cave Goblins in the North raid the tight mountain roads, dragging their loot and prey into their dim cavernous homes. Orcs and Cyclopses parade around the southern and central swamp lands, and build great walled towns where only those unlucky enough to be captured see the insides.
Often times though, blended tribal gatherings will appear.
Tonight some lucky Goblins, Orcs, and even a Cyclopse gather to celebrate who the true "Pit Masters" of the Outlaw people are, in lieu of Prince Rogell's royal tournament to determine the same thing.
The two poor humans who are currently being warmed up for the festivities were not so lucky. At least the Garhim who will serve as a midnight snack later for the incredibly hungry patrons has a view of the events!
Another build dedicated to an online conversation. This one.
I hope you're hungry! Goblins are known for their delicious BBQ! Their Pulled Thighs and Spiced Ribs are said to be some of the best south of the Lenfel Garhim border!
Enjoy!

One of two Hummingbirds that were checking out new jacaranda flower stalks in my garden in Tucson, Arizona. I lost track after I counted over a dozen flower stalks. The buds are about ready to pop open and reveal fragrant flowers.
Alexandria, Egypt is famous for its Jacaranda trees. I loved them on a long walkway on the grounds of the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel. I was at the Weizmann Institute for three years in the late sixties and early seventies.

Jacaranda mimosifolia is a sub-tropical tree native to south-central South America that has been widely planted elsewhere because of its attractive and long-lasting pale indigo flowers. It is also known as jacaranda, blue jacaranda, black poui, or as the fern tree. Older sources call it Jacaranda acutifolia, but it is nowadays more usually classified as Jacaranda mimosifolia. In scientific usage, the name "jacaranda" refers to the genus Jacaranda, which has many other members, but in horticultural and everyday usage, it nearly always means the blue jacaranda.

The blue jacaranda has been cultivated in almost every part of the world where there is no risk of frost; established trees with the protection of hard wood can however tolerate brief spells of temperatures down to around −7 °C (19 °F).[3] In the US, 48 km (30 mi) east of Los Angeles where winter temperatures can dip to −12 °C (10 °F) for short several-hour periods, the mature tree survives with little or no visible damage. Even when young trees are damaged by a hard frost and suffer die back, they will often rebound from the roots and grow in a shrub-like, multi-stemmed form.[3]
In the United States, the Jacaranda is grown very extensively in California, in southwestern Arizona, southeast Texas, and Florida.[4] In California, they are grown most extensively in Southern California but are commonly planted as far north as the San Francisco Bay Area and along the frost-free coastal regions of Northern California.[4][5] In California, flowering and growth will be stunted if grown directly on the coast, where a lack of heat combined with cool ocean winds discourages flowering.[3]
In Europe, it is grown on the entire Mediterranean coast of Spain (it is very noticeable in the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands and Andalusia with especially large specimens present in Valencia, Alicante and Seville, and usually with earlier flowering than in the rest of Europe), in the southern part of Portugal (very noticeable in Lisbon), southern Italy (in Naples and Cagliari it's quite easy to come across beautiful specimens), southern Greece (noticeable in Athens) and on the Islands of Malta and Cyprus.[citation needed] It was introduced to Cape Town by Baron von Ludwig in about 1829. It is regarded as an invasive species in parts of South Africa and Australia, the latter of which has had problems with the Blue Jacaranda preventing the growth of native species. In other parts of Africa, jacarandas are especially present in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, and Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe.
Appearance[edit]
The tree grows to a height of up to 20 m (66 ft).[6] Its bark is thin and grey-brown in colour, smooth when the tree is young though it eventually becomes finely scaly. The twigs are slender and slightly zigzag; they are a light reddish-brown in colour. The flowers are up to 5 cm (2.0 in) long, and are grouped in 30 cm (12 in) panicles. They appear in spring and early summer, and last for up to two months. They are followed by woody seed pods, about 5 cm (2.0 in) in diameter, which contain numerous flat, winged seeds. The Blue Jacaranda is cultivated even in areas where it rarely blooms, for the sake of its large compound leaves. These are up to 45 cm (18 in) long and bi-pinnately compound, with leaflets little more than 1 cm (0.39 in) long. There is a white form available from nurseries.
The unusually shaped, tough pods, which are 5.1 to 7.6 cm (2 to 3 in) across, are often gathered, cleaned and used to decorate Christmas trees and dried arrangements.
Wood
The wood is pale grey to whitish, straight-grained, relatively soft and knot-free. It dries without difficulty and is often used in its green or wet state for turnery and bowl carving.
Taxonomy[edit]
The taxonomic status of the blue jacaranda is unsettled. ITIS regards the older name, Jacaranda acutifolia, as a synonym for J. mimosifolia. However, some modern taxonomists maintain the distinction between these two species, regarding them as geographically distinct: J. acutifolia is endemic to Peru, while J. mimosifolia is native to Bolivia and Argentina. If this distinction is made, cultivated forms should be treated as J. mimosifolia, since they are believed to derive from Argentine stock. Other synonyms for the Blue Jacaranda are Jacaranda chelonia and J. ovalifolia. The Blue Jacaranda belongs to the section Monolobos of the genus Jacaranda.

Church surrounded by jacarandas in bloom, Wooroolin, Australia
Pretoria in South Africa is popularly known as The Jacaranda City due to the enormous number of jacaranda trees planted as street trees and in parks and gardens. In flowering time the city appears blue/purple in colour when seen from the nearby hills because of all the jacaranda trees.
Jacarandas are widely grown as ornamental trees in Australia, from Melbourne in the south to Cairns in the north.
Jacarandas in bloom have become closely associated with Ipswich and South East Queensland. The Ipswich City Council have used jacarandas to line avenues, and commercial developments in some areas, particularly along the Bremer River have incorporated jacarandas into their landscape design. The trees are common in parks throughout the city, most notably in a long curved avenue in New Farm Park in Brisbane, in Goodna, and in private gardens. The jacaranda blooms in Queensland around October.
The city of Grafton on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia, is also famous for its jacarandas. Each year in late October and early November, the city has a jacaranda festival[7] during the period of full bloom. A street parade, local public holiday and a series of events are held. A local public holiday sees the city's businesses perform street theatre for passersby and street stalls proliferate. A Jacaranda Queen and Jacaranda Princess are named at a formal ball.
The Perth suburb of Applecross, Western Australia, has streets lined with jacaranda trees, and hosts a "Jacaranda Festival" each year in November. The festival is held in the Applecross Village district, and surrounding local businesses sell products and foods in aid of the local Rotary Club chapter.
The tree canopies in some of Sydney's north shore and harbour suburbs in the east have a purple glow during late spring.
The main street of the town of Red Cliffs, Victoria, Australia (part of the Calder Highway) was named Jacaranda Street in the original town plans of the early 1920s and jacaranda trees have since been planted to line this street.
Jacarandas are also popular in the southern and central parts of Florida and the southwestern United States, notably in Phoenix, Arizona, and San Diego, California. Jacaranda can be found throughout most of Southern California, where they were imported by the horticulturalist Kate Sessions.[8] In California, jacarandas are known as the trees that bloom twice a year, although the fall bloom is generally not as striking as the spring bloom. Tampa, St. Petersburg, and other southern Florida cities are ribboned by purple flowers during peak bloom of April. Jacaranda trees are principally found in parks and interspersed along the avenues and streets.
Jacarandas were introduced to Israel over 50 years ago, where they are in full bloom during May. They are popular and can be found in cities all over Israel.
In many parts of the world, such as Mexico, Los Angeles, Spain, southern Portugal and Zimbabwe the blooming of this tree is welcomed as a sign of spring.
Jacaranda can also be found in the South China Karst (a World Heritage site). The Chinese use the leaves to make a distinctive purple dye.
Popular culture references[edit]
Pretoria, the administrative capital of South Africa is popularly and poetically known as Jacaranda City or Jakarandastad in Afrikaans because of the large number of trees which turn the city blue when they flower in spring. The name Jakarandastad is frequently used in Afrikaans songs, such as in Staan Op by Kurt Darren. The jacaranda trees, far from their native Brazil, turn this city a brilliant purple each October. Water scarcity has South Africa trying to eradicate foreign species of plants and trees, including the Jacaranda. Acknowledging the tree's popularity with locals, the government has announced that it will not remove the trees, but has banned the planting of new jacarandas.[9]
The Australian Christmas song Christmas Where The Gum Trees Grow makes reference to jacaranda trees, as the blooms are only seen in summer time—as the song explains, "When the bloom of the jacaranda tree is here, Christmas time is near".[10] The University of Queensland in Brisbane is particularly well known for its ornamental jacarandas, and a common maxim among students holds that the blooming of the jacarandas signals the time for serious study for end-of-year exams.[11]
In Argentina, writer Alejandro Dolina, in his book Crónicas del Ángel Gris ("Chronicles of the Gray Angel"), tells the legend of a massive jacarandá tree planted in Plaza Flores (Flores Square) in Buenos Aires, which was able to whistle tango songs on demand. María Elena Walsh dedicated her Canción del Jacarandá song to the tree. Also Miguel Brascó's folk song Santafesino de veras mentions the aroma of jacarandá as a defining feature of the littoral Santa Fe Province (along with the willows growing by the rivers).
Folklore[edit]
The jacaranda at the University of Sydney quadrangle, its blooms were popularly associated with exam time.[12] The tree collapsed in October 2016.[13]
Purple panic is a term for student stress during the period late spring and early summer used by students in south east Queensland. The purple refers to the colour of the flowers of Jacaranda trees which bloom at that time and have been extensively planted throughout that district. The panic refers to the need to be completing assignments and studying for final exams.[14]
The Jacaranda when in bloom is also known as the exam tree.[14]
Conversely, while also the time of year the Jacarandas bloom in Pretoria coinciding with the year-end exams at the University of Pretoria, legend has it there that if a flower from the Jacaranda tree drops on a student's head, the student will pass all their exams.[15][16]
Antimicrobial extracts[edit]
Water extracts using the dried powdered Jacaranda mimosifolia show higher antimicrobial action in vitro against Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli than gentamicin sulfate[17] does. The extract also acts against Staphylococcus aureus in vitro.[17]
