Every year the Stoomtrein Goes Borsele (SGB) organizes the event Tracks to the Past. Then various steam and diesel locomotives or trains come into action. This year these were the SHM 5 'Enkhuizen', the SHD 2205, the CREW 2454 Plan U set 151, the SSN 23 023 and their own locomotives SGB 22 'Otter' and 264 'Sik'.

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.

Samen met mijn oudste zoon trokken we er vroeg op uit voor de Najaarsstoomdag van de MBS. Het was een schitterende, zonnige dag. Dit jaar reden de stoomlocs 7853 'Navizence', 2 'Cockerill', 6 'Magda', 8107 'Kikker', diesellocs 259 en 451 en MBS 25, Wismar Railbus KDH T1 diverse slagen tussen Haaksbergen en Boekelo.

Together with my eldest son we went out early for the MBS Autumn Steam Day. It was a beautiful, sunny day. This year the steam locomotives 7853 'Navizence', 2 'Cockerill', 6 'Magda', 8107 'Kikker', diesel locomotives 259 and 451 and MBS 25, Wismar Railbus KDH T1 drove various rounds between Haaksbergen and Boekelo.

Zusammen mit meinem ältesten Sohn machten wir uns früh auf den Weg zum MBS Autumn Steam Day. Es war ein wunderschöner, sonniger Tag.

After a week or two of beautiful warm sunshine & a few days in Llanberis a trip to Snowdon Summit was booked. Just our luck when we got to the top it was pouring with rain and covered in low cloud. Not a vew to be seen!! Good excuse to go again......

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.

Die eigene 1040 fuhr zusammen mit der HSIJ 22 „Tom“ und der HSIJ 57 „Bonne“ unter Dampf. Ebenfalls anwesend waren die Crew 2454 Foundation mit der 2454 und der mP 3029, die SMMR 2225, die SHD 2205 und das De Karel Set 466. Die SSN kam mit der 01 1075 und 23 023 mit einer Sonderfahrt aus Rotterdam. Es waren viele Personenzüge, aber auch einige Güterzüge für die Fotografen da. Eine sehr gelungene Veranstaltung an einem wunderschönen Tag.

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.

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.

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.

Chicago Burlington & Quincy (Colorado & Southern) EMC E5A diesel electric locomotive # 9950-A, the Silver Racer which is used as a lead unit on the Texas Zephyr is seen at Dallas Union Station, Texas, ca 1950's. This locomotive was esentially an EMD E6 locomotive that was constructed with a mostly stainless steel car body to go along with the CB&Q stainless steel passenger car fleet. Check out the nice appearing slanted nose on this locomotive. All in all there were 11 E5A locomotives and 5 E5B locomotive built by EMC for the CB&S and its subsidaries.

Voordat we naar Plandampf 'Dampf trifft Kies III' in het Werratal gingen, verbleven mijn vader en ik nog drie dagen in de Harz, om daar alvast van stoom te kunnen genieten bij de HSB. De Selketalbahn is in mijn ogen een van de mooiste lijntjes waar met gemak de trein is te volgen en veel mooie foto's gemaakt kunnen worden. Maar ook de Harzquerbahn en Wernigerode werden bezocht.

Before we went to Plandampf 'Dampf trifft Kies III' in the Werrtal valley, my father and I stayed in the Harz for three more days to enjoy some steam at the HSB. The Selketalbahn is in my opinion one of the most beautiful lines where you can easily follow the train and many beautiful pictures can be taken. But the Harzquerbahn and Wernigerode were also visited.

Bevor wir zu Plandampf 'Dampf trifft Kies III' ins Werrtal fuhren, blieben mein Vater und ich noch drei Tage im Harz, um an der HSB Dampf zu genießen.

These locomotives were the most powerful streamlined cab unit passenger diesel electric locomotives on the New Haven Railroad with 2,400 hp provided for tractive effort purposes. They were also the first passenger diesel locomotives with the B - A-1-A wheel arangement, all prior to the delivery of the EMD FL-9 locomotives with the same wheel arangement.

Penn Central former New Haven Railroad FM H16-44 diesel electric locomotive # 5169 is seen in a yard area among other PC locomotives, ca 1970. This FM H16-44 was among the second group of these locomotives purchased by the New Haven Railroad in 1956. Some called these engines Baby Trainmasters because their carbody was very similar although smaller. Originally when first purchased these engines had steam generators so they could be used in passenger service.

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.

Nadat we twee dagen de Zittauer Schmalspurbahn hadden bezocht, gingen we door naar Dresden. Daar werd als eerste de Lössnitzgrundbahn bezocht, gevolgd door de Weißeritztalbahn. En tenslotte werd de Fichtelbergbahn bezocht. Onderweg nog een bezoekje gebracht aan het station museum Schlettau, waar we in 1992 nog rondgelopen hebben tijdens Plandampf rondom Aue

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.

After visiting the Zittau Narrow Gauge Railway for two days, we continued to Dresden. The Lössnitzgrundbahn was the first to be visited there, followed by the Weißeritztalbahn. And finally we visited the Fichtelbergbahn. On teh way up there, we visited the museum station Schlettau. Last time we were here was during Plandampf in and around Aue in 1992.

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.

Nach einem zweitägigen Besuch der Zittauer Schmalspurbahn ging es weiter nach Dresden. Als erstes wurde dort die Lössnitzgrundbahn besichtigt, gefolgt von der Weißeritztalbahn. Und zuletzt besuchten wir die Fichtelbergbahn. Auf den Farht nach Cranzahl haben wir noch das Bahnhof Museum von Schlettau besucht. Hier waren wir in 1992 während den Plandampf Vernastaltung rundum Aue.

Le 22 août 2019, la nuit tombe sur les Andes. Un groupe de locomotives diesel du Chemin de Fer Central Andin, FCCA, manoeuvre à l'entrée ouest de "Patio Arapa", au km 197,7 de la ligne, sur le versant est des Andes. Cette section entre le sommet et La Oroya comporte de nombreux embranchements ou points de chargement d'où des wagons chargés de produits miniers sont expédiés, et des wagons vides sont livrés.

La petite locomotive en tête est une MLW (Montreal Locomotive Works) de 1974, de 950 ch, motorisation ALCO. Les autres sont des General Electric GE C39-8 de 3900 ch.

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.

Wir kamen regelmäßig zu den Dampfzugtagen der ZLSM. Leider haben sie mehreren Jahren nicht mehr stattgefunden. Aber glücklicherweise ist es 2023 erneut organisiert.

Ebenfalls anwesend waren die Crew 2454 Foundation mit der 2454 und der mP 3029, die SMMR 2225, die SHD 2205 und das De Karel Set 466. Die SSN kam mit der 01 1075 und 23 023 mit einer Sonderfahrt aus Rotterdam. Es waren viele Personenzüge, aber auch einige Güterzüge für die Fotografen da. Eine sehr gelungene Veranstaltung an einem wunderschönen Tag.
