Amtrak 153 thunders south/west for Washington, DC powered by Deferred Maintenance Poster Child AEM7 920. 8 tubes of Amfleet follow the 1981-built EMD motor as the train nears the Halethorpe MARC station.

 

With the delivery of oodles of new ACS64s underway, it would appear that the powers that be have decided to just phone it in with keeping up the appearance of this old GG1-killer.

If you thought there was anything you could possibly do in the DC universe that couldn't give you superpowers, guess again! William Payton took a friggin' NAP in a field, and woke up months later to find out that he'd been struck by a beam from space that gave him sun powers (control over heat and light, flight, and super strength). The origin varies by era - either the beam was intended for a group of agents called the Power Elite, or it was the last Starman incarnate, Flash-style.

 

Speaking of the last Starman, I've only got one more Starman left to make now! This guy is supposed to have a big, upside-down white star on his chest, but the rest of the torso is too perfect, and in hindsight I think the demon face instead makes for unintentional visual pun. Please find it in your heart to forgive me.

New York Central "S-Motors" and MU cars at Harmon, NY. Built by ALCO-GE between 1904 and 1909, these pioneering electric passenger engines lasted into the Conrail era, the last being retired in 1981. The miniature pantographs on the roof were for the sections of overhead third rail installed through the complex special trackwork at Grand Central station.

 

Sadly I never saw them in action, but several are preserved including at the Illinois Railway Museum and the Museum of Transport in St. Louis. Being 660 volt DC powered, one can dream of seeing one operating some day at IRM!

MÁV-HÉV Helyiérdekű Vasút Zrt.: Disconnected from each other and isolated from the rest of the railway network, four suburban railway lines (one of them with a branch) form the system of the Budapest Railways of Local Interest (Budapesti Helyiérdekű Vasút, BHÉV), which has a total length of 97 km. They all have the same characteristics: standard track gauge and 1,100 V DC power supply. The lines are commercially designated H5 to H9. Since November 2016, this company has been a subsidiary of the Hungarian state railways MÁV.

 

The service is basically carried out with 91 three-car EMUs of the MX series (motor cars numbers 861 to 892) and MXA (motor cars numbers 901 to 1000 and 1101 to 1150), build in the former German Democratic Republic by LEW "Hans Beimler" Hennigsdorf between 1971 and 1983. Seven EMUs of the MIX/A series (motor cars) and PXXV/A (trailer cars) also remain in service, runnig only on line H7. They come from the modernization of as many of the 27 trains that were built by BHÉV itself in its Budafoki workshops between 1963 and 1966.

 

A train on line H7 to Csepel, with two modernized EMUs of the MIX/A and PXXV/A series, leaves the Boráros tér terminal station in Budapest. After their modernization, these EMUs recovered their original colors of light green and cream.
