British Rail Class 142 'Pacer' 2 car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU), 142096 as operated by Northern Rail at Darlington Station in County Durham (UK).
Class 142's have been in service since 1985/7 and are due for withdrawal by 2020.
The Class 142 Pacer units with their atrocious noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) and general ambience levels do nothing to enhance the image of the railways in this area in my opinion.
Darlington Station is a Grade II* listed building which opened on July 1st 1887 but of course there has been a railway in the town since 1825.

DB Class 143.0 (ex-DR Class 243) LEW 15k v ac 4,985 hp Bo-Bo No.143 598 at Nurnberg Hbf on a push-pull service, 8 May 2016. In 1984-90 LEW built 973 of what was concieved as the standard East German freight loco (a version of the passenger Class 212 prototype of 1982) but was then adapted to mixed traffic duties. The last electric loco to be designed and mass produced in east Germany and highly successful. So good did they prove that after unification DB have used them a lot on push-pull local and DB Regio regional passenger services, allowing a lot of old DB locos to be withdrawn. But are now themselves being displaced by younger DB classes as more ICE trains come on stream.
