Penn Central EMD F7A # 1840, cabless GP9B # 3815 & F7A # 1758, as seen from tower SS38 by Bob Hughes with his camera, lead an eastbound manifest freight train under wire on a former New Haven Railroad express track through Stamford, Connecticut, summer 1973. Evidently to the PC black was beautiful, because they seemed in time to paint most of their locomotives in the plain black paint scheme. It appears that the leading F7A is receiving its air conditioning with the use of an open front cab nose door and with air passing through the cab windows. This locomotive consist makes for an interesting combination.
In de zomervakantie van 2023 moesten mijn vrouw en ik wegens familie omstandigheden halsoverkop naar Aberdeen, Schotland. Tijdens een van de laatste dagen daar, bleek de Caledonian Railway een speciaal evenement te hebben; de Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Diverse door diesellocomotieven getrokken treinen reden tussen Brechin en Bridge of Dun. Op diverse plekken langs de lijn heb ik gefotografeerd en natuurlijk ook zelf weer een ritje gemaakt. Toch nog een geslaagde dag geweest.
During the summer holidays of 2023, my wife and I had to rush to Aberdeen, Scotland, due to family circumstances. During one of the last days there, the Caledonian Railway turned out to be having a special event; the Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Several diesel locomotive-hauled trains ran between Brechin and Bridge of Dun. I took photographs at various places along the line and of course also went for a ride myself. Still a successful day.
Während der Sommerferien 2023 mussten meine Frau und ich aus familiären Gründen eilig nach Aberdeen, Schottland, reisen. An einem der letzten Tage dort hatte die Caledonian Railway ein besonderes Ereignis; die Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Zwischen Brechin und Bridge of Dun verkehrten mehrere von Diesellokomotiven gezogene Züge. Ich habe an verschiedenen Stellen entlang der Strecke Fotos gemacht und bin natürlich auch selbst mitgefahren. Dennoch ein erfolgreicher Tag.
Dit jaar met mijn twee zonen naar het jaarlijks evenement 'Sporen naar het verleden' geweest. Naast de eigen loc 4389, waren dit jaar stoomloc 5 'Enkhuizen' van de SHM, de 23 023 van de SSN en Crew 2454 met hun 2454, Mat '64 stel 904 en mP 3029 aanwezig. Ook maakten de omC 909 en 910 enkele ritten. Dit jaar besteedden we vooral aandacht aan de omC 909 en 910. Het was weer een erg geslaagd evenement.
This year I went to the annual event 'Traces to the past' with my two sons. In addition to our own locomotive 4389, steam locomotive 5 'Enkhuizen' of the SHM, 23 023 of the SSN and Crew 2454 with their 2454, Mat '64 set 904 and mP 3029 were present this year. The OMC 909 and 910 also made a few journeys. This year we paid particular attention to the OMC 909 and 910. It was another very successful event.
Dieses Jahr war ich mit meinen beiden Söhnen bei der jährlichen Veranstaltung „Spuren in die Vergangenheit“. Neben unserer eigenen Lokomotive 4389 waren in diesem Jahr auch die Dampflokomotive 5 'Enkhuizen' der SHM, 23 023 der SSN und die Besatzung 2454 mit ihrer 2454, Mat '64 Set 904 und mP 3029 anwesend. Auch die OMC 909 und 910 machten einige Fahrten. Besonderes Augenmerk haben wir in diesem Jahr auf die OMC 909 und 910 gelegt. Es war wieder eine sehr erfolgreiche Veranstaltung.
In mijn jongere jaren trok ik er wat regelmatiger op uit, als ik een vrije dag had, of als er een speciale rit of evenement op het programma stond. In die tijd fotografeerde ik voornamelijk met dia-rolletjes, die ik nu in aan het scannen ben en aan het bewerken ben (oplichten, vuil verwijderen, verscherpen) om ze weer toonbaar te maken.
Dit keer was ik op pad met de Achterhoek express getrokken door de SSN ÖBB 52.3879. Deze reed in het kader van 150 jaar Spoorwegen in Nederland. Onderweg heb ik op diverse plekken foto's gemaakt van deze rit en andere treinen.
When I was younger, I used to get out a little more regularly, when I had a day off, or when there was a special ride or event planned. At that time I mainly photographed with colour slide rolls, which I am now scanning and editing (lightening, removing dirt, sharpening) to make them acceptable again.
This time I was travelling with the Achterhoek express pulled by the SSN ÖBB 52.3879. This ran because of te celebrations of 150 years of Railways in the Netherlands. Along the way I took pictures of this ride and other trains at various places.
Als ich jünger war, bin ich regelmäßiger
rausgezogen, wenn ich einen freien Tag hatte oder wenn eine besondere Fahrt oder Veranstaltung geplant war. Ich habe damals hauptsächlich mit Diarollen fotografiert, die ich jetzt scanne und bearbeite (aufhellen, Schmutz entfernen, schärfen), um sie wieder ansehbar zu machen.
Diesmal war ich mit dem Achterhoek Express unterwegs, gezogen von der SSN ÖBB 52.3879. Diese Fahrt wurde im Zusammenhang mit 150 Jahren Eisenbahn in den Niederlanden gefahren. Unterwegs habe ich diese Fahrt und andere Züge an verschiedenen Stellen fotografiert.
CSX EMD GP30 Road Slug # 2300 & GP40-2 Mother Locomotive # 6912, is seen at Uceta Yard in Tampa, Florida, 1989. Mother Locomotive combinations with Road Slugs, such as this, were often seen when operating on the former SAL line into Pinellas County which terminated at the edge of downtown Saint Petersburg, at that time.
New Haven Railroad DL-109 locomotive 0738 & 0704 while leading a passenger train that is operating on the Shore Line is stopped at a station platform in Saybrook, Connecticut, August 31, 1946. The cab crew members are seen in this view with most likely the engineer at the cab door and the fireman in his cab window. The Dl-109 locomotive 0738 appears to be in the DER-1b configuration and it still retains its original car-body windows.

New Haven Railroad DER-3a class ALCO PA-1 # diesel electric locomotive # 0778, along with a second PA-1, is seen wearing the McGinnis paint scheme while spotted on a service track in the Cedar Hill Yard, New Haven, Connecticut, Winter early 1960's. These were the last years of passenger train service being provided by these PA-1 locomotives, plus some were being pressed into freight service prior to their retirement in the mid 1960's. The elevated highway seen in the background may be I-95. A small amount of snow remains on the ground and tracks, although a bit dirty by now.

Elk jaar wordt met Hemelvaart de Nationale Stoomtreindag georganiseerd. Meestal zijn we dan bij de SGB of de RTM te vinden. Dit keer wilde ik, naar aanleiding van foto's die ik in Fb had gezien, eens naar de VSM. Samen met mijn oudste zoon op pad naar Loenen, waar we bijna een privé showtje goederenwagens rangeren hadden. Een groot deel van de ochtend hebben we bij de VSM doorgebracht, waarna we in de middag naar Zwolle zijn gegaan om daar nog de 1700 in dienst te bekijken.
Every year the National Steam Train Day is organized during Ascension Day. We can usually be found at the SGB or the RTM. This time, based on photos I had seen in Facebook, I wanted to go to the VSM. Together with my eldest son we went to Loenen, where we almost had a private show of shunting freight wagons. We spent a large part of the morning at the VSM, after which we went to Zwolle in the afternoon to view the 1700 in service there.
Jedes Jahr wird am Himmelfahrtstag der Nationale Dampfzugtag organisiert. In der Regel sind wir beim SGB oder beim RTM zu finden. Diesmal wollte ich, basierend auf Fotos, die ich auf Facebook gesehen hatte, zum VSM gehen. Zusammen mit meinem ältesten Sohn fuhren wir nach Loenen, wo wir fast eine Privatschau von Rangiergüterwagen hatten. Wir verbrachten den größten Teil des Vormittags im VSM und fuhren dann am Nachmittag nach Zwolle, um den dort im Einsatz befindlichen 1700 zu besichtigen.
New Haven Railroad ALCO FA-1 & FB-1 in a 3 unit ABA set with FA-1 0418 facing the camera at the Dover Street Yard Complex in Boston, Massachusetts, ca 1949. On the right side of the FA-1 is the nose of an ALCO DL-109 locomotive # 0733 and then some heavyweight passenger cars. Behind the locomotive set you can see the engine sanding tower. All of the FA-1 & FB-1 locomotive set is wearing the short lived pin stripe paint scheme.

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.

New Haven Railroad ALCO PA-1 # 0760 & another lead an eastbound Boston passenger train in the snow out of Providence, Rhode Island, ca mid 1950's. The PA-1 is wearing the early McGinnis paint scheme, but soon after the first three locomotives were painted in this manner the rest that were painted received the reverse paint scheme. It is much better to be aboard this warm train than to be on the outside battling the elements. You couldn't get in much better than this with the red nose PA-1, the red block signals and the red trailer all seen in the snow. As typical the ALCO's are departing with a good cloud of black smoke trailing.

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.
Conrail EMD SW1500 switcher # 9584 is working a long cut of freight cars in yard along side a portion of the Juniata Shops at Altoona, Pennsylvania, November 1995. The first block of cars behind the switcher appear to be covered wire or coil hauling cars. This photo was taken on an overcast and rainy day without very good lightening. There was always constant freight train action seen in this yard along with a number of Amtrak trains passing through to the station. At the large shop facility numerous locomotives were rebuilt, re-manufactured, refurbished or built new from kits. Over by the shop facility buildings are lines of EMD and GE locomotives to be shopped. The main line through tracks are situated under the block signal to the left of the switcher and its cars.

Every year on Ascension Day, National Steam Train Day is held. We were usually at the SGB or the RTM. Last year, we went to the VSM for the first time. We really enjoyed it. This year, my eldest son and I also went to Loenen, where we practically had a private show shunting freight cars. We spent the rest of the day along the line or in Beekbergen and Loenen, focusing on the 2530 freight train.
Jedes Jahr an Christi Himmelfahrt findet der Nationale Dampfloktag statt. Wir waren meist bei der SGB oder der RTM. Letztes Jahr waren wir zum ersten Mal bei der VSM. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Dieses Jahr waren mein ältester Sohn und ich auch in Loenen, wo wir quasi eine Privatvorführung beim Rangieren von Güterwagen hatten. Den restlichen Tag verbrachten wir an der Strecke oder in Beekbergen und Loenen und konzentrierten uns auf den Güterzug 2530.

New Haven Railroad ALCO S-2 diesel electric switcher # 0609 and slug DT-1 are assigned to work the hump in Hartford Yard, ca mid-late 1950's. This MU set, both wearing the McGinnis paint scheme, was the only one used on the New Haven Railroad. The slug DT-1 was a former EY-3 class electric switcher that was modified for its new duties in 1952. The two electric switchers of the EY-3 class were motor generator locomotive. The slug DT-1 was condemned in 1962.

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.

I took this Photograph somewhere in the area of the Restored Depot in Hamlet North Carolina during a Weekend Trip to Hamlet, North Carolina sponsored by the Atlantic Coast Line & Seaboard Air Line Historical Society. We visited the Large CSX Hump Yard, Restored Hamlet Depot and several small Short Line Railroads in the Area such as the Laurinburg & Southern, the Aberdeen, Carolina & Western and the Aberdeen & Rockfish.
The Unknown Pale Blue Locomotive is Number 131.
Unfortunately, I didn't take adequate Notes during this trip, so I cannot identify all of the Cities and Towns, where I took many of my Photographs. We probably traveled within about a 50 Mile Circle around Hamlet, North Carolina.
I know we passed through the outskirts of Rockingham, North Carolina, because, I took a Photograph of the former NASCAR Race Track in Rockingham as we passed with our Vans.
You can find my Photograph of the Hamlet Depot in my Photostream at:
