Experienced on the Vancouver SkyTrain, British Columbia
SkyTrain is the longest rapid train system in Canada and the longest fully automated driverless system in the world so far.
Im rumänischen Banat gibt es ein weit verzweigtes Netz an Nebenbahnen welche durch die Regiotrans Calatori betrieben werden. Die Streckengeschwindigkeiten sind dermaßen langsam, dass man ohne großen Stress von den Zügen mehrere Bilder machen kann. So war das Bild vom 97-0543 bereits das zweite an diesem noch sehr frischen Tag. Hier fährt der Triebwagen als R11184 bei Becicherecu Mic an einem Bahnübergang vorbei und beschleunigt nochmals leicht mit imposanter Rauchfahne bis zum nächsten Haltepunkt.
In the Romanian Banat there is a widespread network of branch lines which are operated by Regiotrans Calatori. Line speeds are so slow that you can take multiple pictures of the trains without much stress. So the picture from 97-0543 was already the second on this still very fresh day. Here the railcar as R11184 drives past a level crossing at Becicherecu Mic and accelerates again slightly with an imposing plume of smoke to the next stop.
Found a great corner on a motorway here in Berlin, this ridge over the dip made for an interesting red line LE. It many attempts to get it right and is often the most challenging in respects to photography, as it's pure chance and of course one can never get the time back. Luckily enough in cities there is seldom any lack of traffic.
Much appreciation to my followers both new and old, not far from the big 500; also I appreciate all comments, faves, criticisms and feedback and so as always, thank you! :)
From the Stirrups and Smiles Rodeo. It's a very fast moving sport. I don't know how they stay on the horse. Maybe some velcro between the saddle on the rider?
« Nous accélérons constamment et, nous manquons de prêter attention à toute la grandeur des détails qui nous entourent. Je veux permettre à mon spectateur de dépasser ses limites conscientes. Dans les détails résident les âmes des choses. La beauté du monde est renversante et, contrairement à l’accélération générale (que personnellement j’apprécie), j’examine tranquillement la chose qui m’arrête et me laisse abasourdi.»
"We are constantly accelerating and, we fail to pay attention to all the greatness of the details that surround us. I want to allow my viewer to go beyond his conscious limits. In the details reside the souls of things. The beauty of the world is stunning and, unlike the general acceleration (which I personally appreciate), I calmly examine the thing that stops me and leaves me stunned. "

Union Pacific’s PVSC accelerates out of Lakota Junction, Utah on Rio Grande rails the afternoon of March 26, 1986.
After a pause for a track car, the HLINHAS1 26A accelerates back up to track speed on its way to Hastings.
I visited the Rhymney Valley the following weekend for the last rites and with the sun going down on the last day of regular loco hauled Rhymney Valley services 37419 is on the last lap of 2R26 13.59 Cardiff - Rhymney accelerating away from Pontlottyn. Saturday 10 December 2005.

60024 Clitheroe Castle accelerates 6M00, the 14:20 Humber Oil Refinery to Kingsbury Oil Terminal past the old Brocklesby station and junction signal box. The train is beginning its cross country journey from the Humber estuary to the West Midlands and has just left the lines to Immingham docks to Join the Grimsby to Barnetby main line.

31128 Charybdis accelerates towards Wichnor Junction heading 5V42 Wetmore Sidings to Southall conveying stock for a filming assignment, 47270 was bringing up the rear.
BR232-035 and TEM2-239 are heading the heavy freight train TMS 534022 from Chruściel to Werchrata. The train is really slowly accelerating after leaving the station Sufczyn on line number 13 Krusze - Pilawa. Even though the schedule of the train implied that both locomotives would be active, the TEM2 was mostly idling throughout the journey, which left the Ludmilla with the task of moving this train of over 3300 tonnes.
As the title implies, the train's journey was passing the entirety of the country. Chruściel and Werchrata are more than half a thousand kilometers away (in a straight line), the first of which lays right near the Russian border (Kaliningrad Oblast'), while the other one right near Ukraine. A train from Russia to Ukraine via Poland might seem like a weird idea, but there seems to be a reason behind that.
Since the start of the full-scale conflict between UA and RU, the border traffic between Poland and Russia/Belarus almost collapsed. The coal imports from Russia to Poland used to come in mostly through the border crossing Braniewo - Мамоново and after the number of trains there had been reduced to 1-2 pairs a day in 2022, the facilities used for transloading the resource at the border had to be converted to a new use not to go bancrupt.
As the company owners' luck would have it, Poland started importing coal with the use of harbours in Gdynia and Gdańsk located around 100 kilometers away from Braniewo. The ports weren't designed to handle such capacity of imports and they developed a way to deal with all this traffic - the transloading areas in the Braniewo area were now to serve as temporary storages for coal imported from the harbours, before further shipping into the country. That's how the Braniewo area got a new role on the railway map of Poland and now serves as a fairly important hub for cargo transports.
The TEM2-239 was produced in БМЗ (Bryansk Machine Works) in 1985 and served in the power pland Połaniec until 2020 when it was purchased by LTC (here under leasing by GB Rail). BR232-035 was produced in 1973 in ВЗОР (Voroshilovgrad Locomotive Works) and served for the Deutsche Reichsbahn until 1993. In 2009 it was repairwed and bought by Orion, ran under leasing for many companies and was bought out in 2023 by Skinest rail, which leased the locomotive to GB Rail.

50007 and 50049 growl towards Beattock Summit at Harthope with Pathfinder’s “Grampian Highlander”, 1Z72 0605 Taunton-Aberdeen. The train was running some 25 minutes early at this point having failed to make the planned recess in Beattock loop and I only just reached this spot in time.
Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction.
(R.E.M., Accelerate)
An A-B pair of ex-Milwaukee Road E9s accelerate the North Coast Hiawatha past the Kopper's Coke plant in St. Paul on December 16, 1973 - the first year I had a drivers license. The rails to the right and the old Midway Stadium in the background are long gone, but the rails the train is on remain as does the overpass I shot this from.
"In physics, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. In one dimension, acceleration is the rate at which something speeds up or slows down"
Subway station in Essen, Germany. A little photoshopping to get a nice effect.
With the sun low in the western sky and five BNSF unit throwing up some exhaust as this eastbound Provo-Denver accelerates out of Yarmony, it was time for a nice black and white reflection shot!

Here I am standing on the platform of the CB&Q Depot in Parkville, MO.
I went on a fools errand to see if this thing was sitting. Sure enough, I see gates going down near Clarke and see this clean guy accelerating. With having to wait at a stoplight to whip a U-turn and haul ass to beat it, I made it here with 10 seconds to spare. This was worth as it sat in Waldron while the light went away. This came of the former KCS, so a CP motor makes sense for a leader. I can't wait for the letters "K" and "C" to be added to the nose for a completely new and original nose-on look! This is the cleanest non-rebuild CP AC44 I have seen.
