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.

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.

Penn Central cab view of an on coming EMD E8 locomotive # 4249 that's leading a passenger train operating on the former New Haven Railroad's Shore Line route in Rhode Island, 1970. The E8 # 4249 most likely has its heritage from the Pennsylvania Railroad due to the tell tail lifting rings situated by the nose door. The cab crew in the E8 is providing a wave to the crew in Bob Hughes's locomotive when he was taking this photo. It sure appears that the fireman has a big smile on his face.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is operating on the main line while climbing the foot hill grades to enter the Rocky Mountains front range where it will continue to gain altitude in Colorado, Summer 1980. Another person in the next vestibule dutch door window is seen observing the area. Again ties are laid down all along the foot hill grades where the MOW gangs are replacing defective ties.

As a diesel hauling empty coal wagons was heading toward the Hunter Valley coal fields it did not slow down as passed through the unmanned station at Lochinvar.
As a result I was able to capture the movement of the fast moving train as it passed.
Lochinvar, New South Wales, Australia.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is operating on a tight radius main line curve in the foot hills as it makes its way to the front range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, Summer 1980. With the many main line step grades and the numerous tight radius curves, the trains speed is not all that fast, perhaps around 35 mph as it makes the climb. You really can hear the EMD 567 prime mover working hard. Again too at this location are ties set out on the right-of-way for replacement by the MOW crews.
Penn Central ex New Haven Railroad ALCO RS-3 locomotive # 527 with a State Of Maine - Bangor & Aroostook boxcar and a Manufacturers Railway Company boxcar behind the engine at the Cedar Hill Yard, New Haven, 1969. In this area of the yard catenary still exists at this time. This photo came from my collection of negative scans. This photo has been cropped and modified from the original to improve its appearance.

Good morning campers! Rather than continue with a saga of Lawrence images, I thought that a visit to the O'Dea Collection would be a nice diversion. 'Long Pavement' is a funny name for a tiny railway station that doesn't appear to have any buildings attached? Tipperary doesn't sound right somehow but perhaps I am mistaken?
And indeed, the StreetView and OSI Map confirm that this Longpavement station (all one word) was in Limerick - near Moyross....

New Haven Railroad ALCO DL-109's are seen while leading a freight train in the snow along the main line in Massachusetts, ca winter mid 1940's. Do believe that this scene was captured at Canton Junction, Massachusetts. At this time these locomotives were really acting in their role as duel purpose diesel electric locomotives that handled both freight and passenger trains. The snow appears to be fairly fresh and with the clear gray sky in the background you can easily see the typical smoke plume coming from the ALCO locomotives. In the background is a tower (SS178) and a passenger station. Notice the long blade semaphore signals towering over the box cars.
The name of the photographer that captured this image is unknown and it came from a photo that was on the Internet. This photo has been cropped and modified from the original to improve its appearance.

Het was al weer enige tijd geleden dat we voor het laatst bij de SHM langs waren geweest (2019). Dit jaar waren de omC-tjes van de SGB en de 8107 'kikker' van de MBS aanwezig. Verder kwamen ook de eigen 7742 ' Bello' en de 6513 in actie. Met zoveel (historisch en/of replica) Nederlands materieel, konden we dit natuurlijk niet overslaan. Het was een prachtig evenement, met mooie treinen en diverse figuranten om alles verder aan te kleden. Helaas bleken de omC-tjes niet zelfstandig te kunnen rijden, dus werd de LTM 26 als trekkracht ingezet. Maar dat maakte het nog unieker.
t had been a while since we last visited the SHM (2019). This year the SGB omCs and the MBS 8107 'frog' were present. Furthermore, their own 7742 'Bello' and the 6513 were also in action. With so much (historical and/or replica) Dutch equipment, we could of course not skip this. It was a wonderful event, with beautiful trains and various extras to further dress everything up. Unfortunately, the omCs turned out not to be able to drive independently, so the LTM 26 was used as traction. But that made it even more unique.
Unser letzter Besuch im SHM (2019) ist schon eine Weile her. Dieses Jahr waren die SGB omC-tjes und der 8107 „Frosch“ der MBS anwesend. Darüber hinaus kamen auch die firmeneigenen 7742 „Bello“ und die 6513 zum Einsatz. Bei so viel (historischer und/oder nachgebauter) niederländischer Eisenbahnmaterial konnten wir uns das natürlich nicht entgehen lassen. Es war eine wunderschöne Veranstaltung mit wunderschönen Zügen und vielen Extras, die das Ganze noch schöner machten. Da die OmC-Einheiten leider nicht in der Lage waren, selbstständig zu fahren, wurde der LTM 26 als Traktionszug eingesetzt. Aber das machte es noch einzigartiger.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is seen operating on the main line along side of the Gunnison River in Colorado, Summer 1980. The scenic locations keep on appearing as the train heads west. EMD F9A diesel electric locomotive # 5771 is leading this train along with two additional F9B locomotives, that provide 5,250 hp for tractive effort development.
PC EMD GP30 locomotive # 2226 and former New Haven ALCO C-425 locomotive # 2557 are seen while leading a westbound refrigerator boxcar unit train toward tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1972. The New Haven Railroad and now PC is still handling many refrigerator trains on its lines. An old former New Haven ALCO switcher cab is seen on a siding to the right. In the background is the highway I-95 overpass bridge. On the catenary bridge structure you can see two short blade semaphore block signals. The train is operating on an express track so it will pass right through the up-coming station area.
Bob Hughes captured this image on film from his tower location.
New Haven Railroad DERS-7 class GE U25B diesel electric locomotives # 2509 & 2522, are seen in the yard at Boston, Massachusetts, October 31, 1967, Houser Collection. The ten 2,500 HP U-25B locomotives # 2500 - 2509, arrived on the New Haven Railroad property in 1964. The name or the original photographer is unknown.

New Haven Railroad EMD GP-9 # 1208, FM H16-44 & another GP-9 lead a westbound manifest freight train in the snow toward SS38 in Stamford, Connecticut, 1968. This was a great image capture by Bob Hughes from his tower SS38 window. Even with low lighting, snow and train movement, he captured a solid image of this train.
On Dave Dawson’s suggestion, I repainted the headcode box. I looks much better in black. 97302 approaches Tonfanau running 20 minutes late with the 18:05 6W55 Barmouth to Bescot return ballast train. Had it have passed on time, I would’ve had more light on the nose, but I can’t complain to have had it in sun. A 97/3 up the coast in daylight is a relative rarity these days.
New Haven Railroad DERS-2b class ALCO RS-2 locomotive 0505 with a passenger train is passing through Plantsville, Connecticut, 10-1-1950. The train operating through Plantsville is sort of a surprise to me becuase I though this line was only a freight service line, and I know it was in 1952, so the location may be in error. Then again this may be some sort of railfan excursion train, except that there are no whilte flags to indicate an extra being operated. There appears to be a person standing on the right side of the train that is watching it pass by.
This photo came from the Internet and the photographers name was not provided.

Deze dag stond in het teken van goederenvervoer bij de RTM. Diverse stoom en diesellocs reden goederentrams of personentrams met goederenwagens. Het weer was uitstekend en de trams weer schitterend.
This day was all about freight transport at the RTM. Various steam and diesel locomotives drove freight trams or passenger trams with freight wagons. The weather was excellent and the trams were again magnificent.
Dieser Tag stand im RTM ganz im Zeichen des Gütertransports. Verschiedene Dampf- und Diesellokomotiven trieben Güterstraßenbahnen bzw. Personenstraßenbahnen mit Güterwagen an. Das Wetter war ausgezeichnet und die Straßenbahnen waren wieder wunderschön.
Blue Ridge Southern Railroad long hood end of EMD SD40M-2 locomotive # 4202 is seen in the maintainence & service area of the yard at Canton, North Carolina, 9-16-2016. It appears that on this stub end siding there is pit area situated under the locomotive to perform required work.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is operating on the main line as it enters the foot hill grades on the outskirts of Denver, Colorado, Summer 1980. For the next hour plus the train will be climbing grades to reach the Moffat Tunnel and until the maximum elevation is reached at the apex.
Penn Central ALCO S-1 # 9494, former New Haven Railroad switcher, is seen along a platform at New Haven Union Station, 1970. Certain trains were still handled as they were back in the day, with cars being transferred to other trains and a few locomotive changes were still being made when the FL9 were not in charge and electric power was being used between New York City and New Haven. The car seen first on the train is a former Pennsylvania Railroad car.
The name of the photographer that captured this image is unknown and it came from a photo that was on the Internet. This photo has been cropped and modified from the original to improve its appearance.

NS EMD SD40-2 locomotive # 6107 & another lead a manifest freight train southbound across a curved main line deck bridge, that's approximately 40 miles north of Chattanooga, Tennessee, October 1987. Further back in the train's consist is TOFC equipment. This photo was taken while I was out and about chasing the N&W steam locomotive # 1218 that was leading a railfan excursion train. The Fall leaf changing colors were starting to standout among the trees. You can see in the lead locomotive the engineer and another crew member, perhaps the conductor. In the cab of the second locomotive you can see another employee riding in the engineers position.
Seen during a visit to Railtown 1897 in Jamestown California on 11-20-2015. Steam powered railroad crane, formerly of the Pickering Lumber Company. It looks to be in bad shape.

Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr soon to make its morning departure from Denver Union Station is having baggage loaded into the combine prior to the passengers boarding the train, Summer 1980. Actually much additional baggage was loaded plus some supplies for the small towns where the train makes its stops.
Denver & Rio Grande Western eight car Rio Grande Zephyr led by EMD F9A locomotive # 5771 and two F9B locomotives heads westbound along the main line to Salt Lake City while in the mountains of Utah, Summer 1980. At this time the D&RGW was not part of Amtrak and the Denver Zephyr was still owned and operated by the railroad. The train was in very good condition and provided full dining and lounge car services along with very comfortable seating for the coach passengers. On this trip I made a scenic photo adventure covering all areas of the trip detailing the mountain countryside scenes along with various train scenes. Notice the high exhaust stacks on the diesel locomotives that are actually spark arrestors.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr, led by EMD F9A locomotive # 5771 and two F9B engines, is seen rounding a portion of a main line "S" curve that's along side of a river or stream in Colorado, Summer 1980. The weather conditions for the westbound trip were much improved over the eastbound return trip the following day.
Penn Central diesel electric locomotives EMD SW1200 # 9195, ALCO RS3 # 5482 & EMD GP9B # 3808 are seen in the former New Haven Railroad Cedar Hill Yard at New Haven, Connecticut, 1972. In the back ground other locomotives such as EMD GP9's and GE U25B's are seen. The catenary has been long gone since the New Haven Railroad days of the late 1950's and early 1960's, and the yard is just a shadow of itself by this time due to the removal of numerous tracks. Bob Hughes was able to photograph this view I believe from one of the various overhead walkways that were situated in the yard area. Notice that you can clearly see the engineer in the cab of the EMD SW1200 switcher in the bright sunlight. Deep in the background you can see one of the old roundhouses.
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.
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.
This Photograph shows Laurinburg & Southern Locomotive Number 109 parked on Tracks in a Railroad Yard.
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:

I believe the Depot is in Marks Creek Township in Richmond County?
Southern Railway main line Extra manifest freight train led by EMD GP38-2 locomotive # 5229 along with two more, is seen while entering the yard area at Asheville, North Carolina, August 1985. Notice the white flags mounted on the locomotives to indicate an Extra train. The train is about to pass the Yard Limit sign in the Biltmore Village area of Asheville. At this time the yard and main lines including the branch lines were all busy with numerous trains operating throughout the day. This photo was taken while on a Southern Railway railfan excursion train trip that was led by the famous Mikado steam locomotive # 4501, with the train operating from Salisbury to Ahseville and return. You can see the engineer and the other crew member in the cab.
