One of the BN 40s on KYLE's roster is seen splitting what's left since the demise of the Rock. Seen here they work Stratton on the former Denver-Chicago mainline. Being a huge Rock fan myself, I throughly enjoyed chasing this train on the original Rock laid rail.

We got a hot tip yesterday of a BN pair on the Westbound KYLSALI. Jamie and I made the trek 4 hours Southwest towards the former Rock Island mainline. It only took a crisp $20 to convince the crew to take an early call to make this all happen.
Scene near the Chennakesava Temple (also called Kesava or Keshava temple), Somanathapura, Kamataka, India.
The first work for the Westbound was at Dresden. Code lines still follow the mainline in many areas, lots still with insulators on them.
I found a couple KYLE gems on an old SD card. This was a long, long day, but one where everything just worked out perfectly.
This is the Westbound KYLE Railroad KYLSALI.

Niemieckie jednostki high speed podczas samodzielnej jazdy na magistrali E20. Zestaw dwóch pojazdów ICE3neo (BR408) wracał dziś z zakończonych testów dynamicznych prowadzonych na Centralnej Magistrali Kolejowej w ostatnich tygodniach.
Pociąg PXJ 276000/1 relacji Idzikowice - Rzepin w promieniach popołudniowego słońca jedzie szlakiem Poznań Górczyn - Palędzie po wielu niepewnych chwilach czy w ogóle za dnia uda się go z sukcesem przeprowadzić po polskich szlakach.
Na uwagę zasługuje fakt, że powrót odbył się w stanie czynnym, a nie jak w przypadku jazd poprzednich na przy-sprzęgu lokomotywy Gama 111Ed przewoźnika LTG Cargo.
Choć sam mam już wiele zdjęć jednostek ICE wykonanych w Niemczech, taki zestaw na swojej ziemi, w swoim mieście smakuje wyśmienicie i z niecierpliwością czekam na rozpoczęcie regularnych kursów, które zapowiadane są dopiero na rok 2030r.
DB zamówiło w Siemens Mobility łącznie 90 jednostek ICE 3neo, z czego 29 zostało już dostarczonych. Pierwszy EZT tej serii wszedł do eksploatacji w listopadzie 2022 roku. W czerwcu 2024 roku ICE 3neo zastąpił starsze pociągi ICE na trasach transgranicznych z Frankfurtu do Amsterdamu i Brukseli. Siemens Mobility wyposaży do 32 pociągów ICE 3neo w odpowiednie komponenty, aby zapewnić kompatybilność z technologią sygnalizacji i trasami w Polsce i Francji.

German high-speed EMUs traveling independently on the E20 main line. A set of two ICE3neo (BR408) trains returned today from dynamic tests which took place on the Central Railway Line recent weeks.
Train no. 276000/1 from Idzikowice to Rzepin was photographed on the Poznań Górczyn - Palędzie route in the afternoon sun, after many uncertain moments as to whether it would be possible to successfully run it on Polish routes during the day.
It is worth noting that the return journey took place in active ride, unlike previous journeys, which were carried out with a Gama 111Ed locomotive from LTG Cargo.
Although I already have many photos of ICE units taken in Germany, seeing such a set on my own soil, in my own city, is a real treat, and I am eagerly awaiting the start of regular services, which are not scheduled to begin until 2030.
DB has ordered a total of 90 ICE 3neo units from Siemens Mobility, 29 of which have already been delivered. The first EMU of this series entered service in November 2022. In June 2024, the ICE 3neo replaced older trains on cross-border routes from Frankfurt (Main) to Amsterdam and Brussels. Siemens Mobility will equip up to 32 ICE 3neo EMUs with the appropriate components to ensure compatibility with signaling technology and routes in Poland and France.
Old Rock Island ABS signals are plentiful along this section of the KYLE. There would have been a signal on each side here, although the one on the North side is gone.
