New Haven Railroad DER-3a class ALCO PA-1 locomotive 0775 leads another PA-1 with its passenger train on the main line as it passes by the station at Canton Junction in Massachusetts, late 1950's. The McGinnis paint scheme applied to the locomotives really shows up. On a siding to the left there are boxcars with many railroad names now history. There appear to be numerous vehicle parked at the station and they are most likely for commuters.

The Railroad Museum of Greater Cincinnati is in Latonia, Kentucky. The volunteers restore the old rail equipment. It is open to the public with a small charge and a real find for rail buffs. Closed yesterday so I shot through the wire fence. Lots of historical equipment in this yard.

Door Corona en familieomstandigheden, waren we niet in staat om bij Plandampf in het Werratal te zijn. Maar na zoveel jaar kruipt het bloed toch waar het niet gaan kan. Daarom besloten mijn vader, mijn oudste zoon en ik in de meivakantie naar het voormalige Oost-Duitsland af te reizen om daar te genieten van smalspoor stoom.

Als eerste bezochten we de Zittauer Schmalspurbahn, waar door werkzaamheden aan de Mandaubrücke in Zittau zelf, alleen het traject vanaf Zittau Vorstadt naar Jonsdorf/Oybin werd bereden. Daarnaast was na 68 jaar Bertsdorf weer 'Lokeinsatzstelle'. Een unieke gelegenheid dus.

Due to Corona and family circumstances, we were unable to join Plandampf in the Werratal. But after so many years, the blood creeps where it can't go. That is why my father, my eldest son and I decided to travel to the former East Germany during the May holidays, to enjoy narrow-gauge steam.

First we visited the Zittauer Schmalspurbahn, where due to work on the Mandaubrücke in Zittau itself, only the route from Zittau Vorstadt to Jonsdorf/Oybin was used. In addition, after 68 years Bertsdorf was again 'Lokeinsatzstelle'. So a unique opportunity.

Aufgrund von Corona und familiären Umständen konnten wir leider nicht bei Plandampf im Werratal sein. Aber nach so vielen Jahren kriecht das Blut dahin, wo es nicht hin kann. Deshalb haben mein Vater, mein ältester Sohn und ich beschlossen, in den Maiferien in die ehemaligen DDR zu reisen, um Schmalspurdampf zu genießen.

Zuerst besuchten wir die Zittauer Schmalspurbahn, wo aufgrund von Arbeiten an der Mandaubrücke in Zittau selbst, nur die Strecke von der Zittauer Vorstadt nach Jonsdorf/Oybin befahren wurde. Außerdem war Bertsdorf nach 68 Jahren wieder Lokeinsatzstelle. Also eine einmalige Gelegenheit.

New Haven Railroad ALCO diesel electric locomotives DL-109 # 0759 and a PA-1 lead a westbound passenger train that is stopped at a station platform in Providence, Rhode Island, ca late 1950's. this was the last DL-109 built for the New Haven Railroad and it also was the only one to be painted in the McGinnis paint scheme. The paint scheme is the not so common reverse scheme. The snow really set this locomotive off well and the photographer did a wonderful job of capturing this image at this time.

Voorheen kwamen we regelmatig naar de ZLSM voor de stoomtreindagen. Helaas zijn die enkele jaren niet meer gehouden. Maar in 2023 was het gelukkig weer zover. De eigen 1040 reed onder stoom samen met de HSIJ 22 'Tom' en HSIJ 57 ' Bonne'. Ook stichting Crew 2454 met de 2454 en de mP 3029, de SMMR 2225, de SHD 2205 en De Karel stel 466 waren aanwezig. De SSN kwam met de 01 1075 en 23 023 met een extra rit langs. Er reden veel personentreinen, maar ook enkele goederentreinen voor de fotografen. Een erg geslaagd evenement op een schitterende dag.

We used to come to the ZLSM regularly for the steam train days. Unfortunately, they were not held for a few years. But in 2023 it was fortunately time again. Their own 1040 ran under steam together with the HSIJ 22 'Tom' and HSIJ 57 'Bonne'. Stichting Crew 2454 with the 2454 and the mP 3029, the SMMR 2225, the SHD 2205 and De Karel set 466 were also present. The SSN came along with the 01 1075 and 23 023 with an extra train from Rotterdam. Many passenger trains ran, but also some freight trains were scheduled for the photographers. A very successful event on a beautiful day.

Gedurende de zomervakantie reed de SGB een uitgebreidere dienstregeling, waarbij de twee omC-tjes ook in actie kwamen. Dit zijn toch wel een van de mooiste (replica) treinen die in Nederland rondrijden, dus onze focus lag vooral op deze twee treinstellen. Mijn zoon had ook nog zijn Lego model die hij had ontworpen en gebouwd meegenomen, die met het origineel vastgelegd werden.

During the summer holidays, the SGB operated an extended timetable, including the two OMC trains. These are among the most beautiful (replica) trains operating in the Netherlands, so our focus was primarily on these two trains. My son also brought along his Lego model, which he had designed and built, and which was photographed alongside the original.

Während der Sommerferien verkehrte die SGB mit einem erweiterten Fahrplan, unter anderem mit den beiden OMC-Zügen. Diese zählen zu den schönsten (Nachbauten) Zügen der Niederlande, daher lag unser Augenmerk vor allem auf diesen beiden Zügen. Mein Sohn hatte auch sein Lego-Modell dabei, das er selbst entworfen und gebaut hatte und das wir zusammen mit dem Original fotografiert haben.

In 2022 werd na twee jaar (Corona) weer Terug naar Toen georganiseerd door de Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM).

Als full time vader en echtgenoot sta ik, op de incidentele hoofdlijnritten van de SSN of VSM en de evenementen na, bijna niet meer langs het spoor. Wat ik aan NS (of andere maatschappijen) materieel fotografeer is vaak bijvangst van stoom of museummaterieel waar ik voor op uit was getrokken. Gelukkig komt het nog wel een enkele keer voor dat ik even tijd heb, maar dat is helaas maar sporadisch.

Deze keer besloten mijn zoon en ik een dagje naar Amsterdam Cs te gaan om treinen te spotten. Dit had ik voor het laatst in de jaren '90 gedaan. Toen reden nog diverse materieeltypes die nu al lang van de sporen verdwenen zijn. Maar ik was ook wel benieuwd of ik nog steeds me lekker kon uitleven. En dat was gelukt.

As a full-time father and husband I hardly make pictures of regular trains. Almost only when the SSN or VSM has one of their rare main line trips, I am able to catch some regular trains too. So what I catch with my camera of the NS (or other companies) trains is often a side catch of steam or museum material passing by. Fortunately I do find occasionally some time to make pictures.

Thios time, my son and I decided to go to Amsterdam Central Station. The last time I spend a full day at this station photographing trains was in the early '90's. Lots of train types are out of service by now. But I was curious if I could stil;l spend a whole day at this station, enjoying myself. And we did.

Samen met mijn zoon zijn we weer twee dagen naar de MBS Najaarsstoomdagen geweest. Dit jaar reed, naast de Wismar railbus, de Magda en Kikker, de ELNA 152 en de 2 'Cockerill' diverse personen en goederentreinen. Ook de pomplorrie en de twee locjes MBS 12 Rij-ijzer, 't Gekje' en MBS 10 'Nijverdal' reden een slag naar Zoutindustrie. Verder stonden in Haaksbergen de MBS 3 T3 89 7720 en MBS 4 DHE 353 in het zwart buiten opgesteld. En in de loods stond de TET 1, schitterend gerestaureerd.

Truckee is a rugged high mountain California town known for its cruel winter weather. Daily temps during winter are often the lowest in the lower 48. Truckee is also a hub for railroad traffic through the Sierra Nevada Range. The tracks run immediately adjacent to Old Town Truckee which is fitting, as the station here was one of the original stops along the Transcontinental Railway. And I won't even get started on the Donner Party whose reputed Epicurean adventure took place here.

Op 21 september 1991 werd een afscheidsrit georganiseerd voor de serie 2400 van de NS. Speciaal voor deze rit werd de 2450 weer in het bruin, de 2413 in het blauw en de 2530 in het paars geschilderd. Samen met de geel/grijze 2444 maakte ik en andere deelnemers de rit in een DE3 (126 en 130). Vertrokken werd uit Geldermalsen, waar vertrokken werd naar Boxtel. Hier kwamen de vier locs voorbij gereden, waarna we doorgingen naar Eindhoven. Vervolgens werd in Budel de binnenkomst afgewacht, waarna werd gerangeerd en de locs met het seinhuisje en armseinen kon worden vastgelegd. In de duinen werd de trein weer vastgelegd. Na nog een foto van de doorkomst in Weert werd vervolgens doorgereden naar Roosendaal, waar ook de 1501 en de laatste bruine 2200, de 2275, van de partij waren. Natuurlijk werden daar diverse foto's gemaakt met de aanwezige armseinen en seinbrug. En tot slot werd de trein bij Dordrecht opgewacht, waar ik de doorkomst heb gefilmd. Deze opnames zijn echter ergens in het archief verdwenen.....

Al enige tijd geleden heb ik mijn dia's gescand en toen geprobeerd aantoonbaar te maken. Dat zal mogelijk op termijn nogmaals gebeuren....

On September 21, 1991, a farewell tour was organized for the NS 2400 series. Especially for this trip, the 2450 was repainted brown, the 2413 blue, and the 2530 purple. Together with the yellow/grey 2444, I and other participants made the trip in a DE3 (126 and 130). We departed from Geldermalsen, heading towards Boxtel. Here, the four locomotives passed by, after which we continued to Eindhoven. Subsequently, we awaited their arrival in Budel, after which shunting took place and the locomotives, along with the signal box and semaphore signals, could be photographed. The train was photographed again in the dunes. After another photo of the pass through Weert, we continued on to Roosendaal, where the 1501 and the last brown 2200, the 2275, were also present. Naturally, various photos were taken there with the semaphore signals and signal bridge. And finally, the train was awaited at Dordrecht, where I filmed its passage. However, these recordings have disappeared somewhere in the archive.....

Some time ago, I scanned my slides and then tried to make them verifiable. That will possibly be done again in due course....

Vulgar Wizard was kind enough to send me this, adapted from one of my UP photos.

Deze dag samen met mijn dochter naar het Spoorwegmuseum geweest. Zij vermaakte zich wel met de ' achtbaan' en de andere attracties. Ik had mijn statief mee en leefde mij zelf ook lekker uit.

This day I went to the Railway Museum with my daughter. She enjoyed herself with the 'roller coaster' and the other attractions. I had my tripod with me and had a great time.

Heute war ich mit meiner Tochter im Eisenbahnmuseum. Sie vergnügte sich mit der „Achterbahn“ und den anderen Attraktionen. Ich hatte mein Stativ dabei und hatte eine tolle Zeit.
