“Class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is self-discipline and self-knowledge. It's the sure-footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life. ”
― Ann Landers

I spent the last day of my yearly vacation on the Montzen route. Starting the day in Sint-Martens-Voeren, I ended in Hoeselt.
At the very end of this last day of my yearly vacation, I could squeeze out shots of 2 more freights heading west. One of them being a train loaded with Move and Ewals containers, headed for Genk. The train is seen just south of Hoeselt.
Shoutout to Trainbelge, who I met in Hoeselt again, after meeting each other for the first time 1 week earlier in France.

Le château, entouré de douves, s’élève sur les bords de la rivière du Cosson.
Sa construction débute à la fin du XVIe sur ordre d d'Henri de Saint-Nectaire (1573-1662) selon les plans de l'architecte Théodore Lefèvre. Elle se poursuit sous le règne de son propre fils, le maréchal Henri de La Ferté-Senneterre (1599-1681).
Le maréchal Ulrich Frédéric Woldemar de Löwendal l'acquiert en 1748 ; il est confisqué à son fils lors de la Révolution française.
François-Victor Masséna, fils du maréchal d'Empire André, achète le château en 1827.
Jacques Guyot, frère de Michel, acquiert le château en 1987 et l'ouvre au public pour notamment financer les travaux de rénovation.
Classé MH 1961-1995.
NB : Merci à Vaxjo de m'avoir aidé à retrouver ce château qui s'était perdu dans ma mémoire.

This somewhat rare and unusual car/truck took Best in Class at the 2024 Lime Rock Concours Show. The truck was developed around Studebaker's Dictator car, (looks more like their Commander model, so the info could be wrong) used it's chassis along the front and rear styling features of the car. This hybrid car/truck predated Ford's Ranchero and Chevrolet's El Camino by around 20 years.
The Studebaker Coupe Express is a passenger car based coupe utility, produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana, between 1937 and 1939. Featuring an automobile styled cab and flared rear fenders right off the Studebaker Dictator, it was sold both with a manufacturer supplied pick up style metal bed, and as a rolling chassis and cab to be fitted with a bed or boxes by the purchaser.
The Coupe Express was designed by Raymond Loewy and utilized the Dictator passenger car frame, running gear, and front sheet metal. A new body stamping was made to form the cab back. The model was sold both with a manufacturer supplied metal bed and as a cab and chassis, with the Dictator’s automobile-style sweepingly flared rear fenders attached. A service box, built to specification, would be fabricated by (or for) the end user (such as a plumber or electrician).
The truck was powered by the larger of Studebaker's L-head six-cylinder flathead engines and mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. Studebaker offered a Borg-Warner 3-speed transmission with overdrive as an option. Other options included a radio, heater, wire reinforced sliding back window and turn indicators. Two optional wheels were available, including a stamped steel disc wheel and a stamped steel 'artillery' spoked wheel.
Production for the 1937 model year was approximately 3,000 units.
The truck's passenger cab was restyled in 1938 to reflect the modernized passenger car sheet metal resulted a slightly longer pickup bed. Production for 1938 was approximately 1,200 units.
The 1939 model was again remodeled to reflect Studebaker's annual design updates. Production was approximately 1,000 units. The Coupe Express model was discontinued after the 1939 model year, and Studebaker did not offer a successor model for 1940.
Studebaker introduced the M-Series pickup truck 1941, while the company used the Coupe Express name in advertising for a time,[citation needed] but no M-Series trucks were ever officially designated as the Coupe Express.
The fact that Studebaker itself labeled it a “coupe” rather than a truck (a very different thing at that time; retained a stylish, even luxurious, interior instead of replacing it with a more utilitarian one; and never named or officially referred to any of its actual pickup trucks with the terms “coupe“ or “express“, further distance it from being labeled as one.
A familiar location to many a seasoned railway photographer but Grindleford was a new venue for me. The semaphore could do with a wipe down but in its current state adds to the aged and weathered feel to this shot. 66156 was working a Heck Plasmore to Briggs STP. The red wagons really helped the shot.
Thanks to Gav and Nigel for showing me this spot.
Am 25. Februar 2021 konnte ich die schön saubere 101 041-2 mit dem ziemlich langen IC 2311 am Haken bei Büschelskamp ablichten. Da die Loks der Baureihe 101 mittlerweile auch in die Jahre gekommen sind und schon ein paar bei der Deutschen Bahn aussortiert wurden, Z-gestellt sind bzw. nicht mehr benötigt werden, muss man sich langsam auch mit dieser Lokomotive befassen. Durch die vielen neuen ICE 4 und IC 2 geht es, nach der Abstellung der Baureihe 120, der Baureihe 101 an den Kragen. Eine Lok wurde schon an DB Systemtechnik in Minden veräußert. Auch interessant ist für mich, dass ich den obigen InterCity von Westerland auf Sylt nach Stuttgart Hbf bisher immer nur bewusst auf der Marschbahn abgelichtet habe. Mag vielleicht daran liegen, dass sein Laufweg über die Rollbahn führt und ich dort, wenn nicht gerade Umleiter fahren, eigentlich kaum zum Fotografieren bin. Denn bis auf die typischen Standardzüge wie Locon mit DE18 nach Grolland, Metrans nach Bremerhaven, die LINEAS-Züge, Hectorrail und die DB-Züge fährt kaum etwas regelmäßig bzw. planmäßig an Güterzüge dort entlang. Es kann also teilweise dort sehr öde sein und da aktuell auch der Flixtrain Hamburg-Köln nicht fährt, fällt noch ein durchaus interessanter P-Zug weg. Bei meinem Besuch in der Fotokurve war der IC nur Beiwerk und ich hatte es eigentlich auf umgeleitet Güterzuge abgesehen. Davon konnte ich auch ein paar in die Sammlung aufnehmen. Diese Fotos liegen aber teilweise noch unbearbeitet im Archiv...

An unknown photographer captured this fine image of the SDL39 class unit in St Paul.The lightweight locomotive was delivered to The Milwaukee Road in April 1969 along with sisters 582-585. This was the first order for the railroad, which made the purchase to replace aging Alco RSC-2 locomotives. The second and final order of five SDL39 locomotives would arrive in November 1972 (586-590). The class unit, 581 was wrecked in a derailment in Sacred Heart Minnesota on the Hastings and Minnesota Division in June 1982, and was scrapped by The Milwaukee Road, in Milwaukee during February 1984. The last time I had seen the 581, was in January 1984 sitting near the diesel house in Milwaukee, stripped of it's trucks, access doors, generator and prime mover.

If you really go out trying to take sunrise/sunset photos with a train, it isn't as easy as one thinks. Just getting a train nowadays in the right time slot is hard enough with the lack of trains on most Class 1s' mains. Then finding the tracks to lineup with the sun also can be a challenge. Here we are at Chelsea watching the impressive huge hazy sun dropping quickly. Unfortunately for us, the 900-car UP manifest train in the distance will be no help, as it is doing a leisurely pace of less than 40 mph. It would have been an impressive opportunity if they were another 3 miles east. As one smart friend reminds me, you can't win if you don't play!

The Korail Class 8200, based on the Siemens EuroSprinter ES 64 F platform and built by Hyundai Rotem between 2002 and 2008, is a Bo′Bo′ electric locomotive. It delivers 5 200 kW of power and runs at a maximum service speed of 150 km/h (theoretically capable of 220 km/h if re-geared).
Introduced to replace the older EL 8100 units, it hauls medium-distance passenger services—especially third-tier Mugunghwa-ho trains—on fully electrified routes such as Gyeongbu, Honam, Jungang, Taebaek and Yeongdong. Equipped with Head-End Power (HEP), each unit can feed up to 12 passenger cars without extra generators.
For regional and intercity duties, it uses four 1 300 kW traction motors, electronically controlled air and regenerative brakes, and on-board ATS/ATP safety systems. When a train formation exceeds five cars, a dedicated dynamo car is sometimes coupled to guarantee auxiliary power for lighting, HVAC and other systems. Across its production run of 83 units (8201–8283), the Class 8200 remains a workhorse on Korea’s electrified mainlines, underpinning the “slow-train” Mugunghwa-ho service.

An absolutely mega slide...
A new addition to the (reducing in size) collection I received today: Class 24 no.5114 seen entering Invergordon on 10/08/72 with the 10:50 Inverness-Wick and Thurso, a shot taken around 3 weeks after I'd been born... And I'd say the slide has survived the years the better of the two of us !
The 24 had around 2 months left in traffic before withdrawal.
