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. 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.

Denver & Rio Grande Western eastbound Rio Grande Zephyr, led by EMD F9A locomotive # 5771, has just pulled out of the station at 7:20 AM in Salt Lake City, Utah, bound Denver, Colorado, Summer 1980. The weather conditions sure were not ideal for photography this morning and then it started to rain while on the trip. With Kodachrome 64, my F1.4 brightest lens, using a lower shutter speed than I liked, along with the train movement and vibration, this was about the best I could do at the time to capture this image. This is one of those photography situations that today is mostly solved by the use of digital cameras with sensors that work well under low light conditions to produce fine images. That large brick building on the left is a Purity Biscuit Company facility in Salt Lake City.
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.
We were taken up into the CSXT Control Tower in Groups to prevent overcrowding and to prevent any interruption of the Tower Operator Duties.
In November 2005, I took an AMTRAK Train from Tampa Union Station in Florida to Hamlet, North, Carolina to attend a Summer Convention of the ACL/SAL Historical Society in and around the Hamlet Area Hamlet Metro Area, One of the sites we visited was CSX Hump Classification Yard Hamlet.

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.
Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is operating on a main line curve near the Rocky Mountain front range in an open area that has wind break hoppers along side to protect the trains from severe winds in Colorado, Summer 1980. There is a long string of hopper cars in this area that are full of ballast and dirt with vegetation growing on top of the ballast as you can see in the photo. The conductor said that many trains have derailed at this location due to the often present high speed winds. This back lighted photo was hard to present decently.
Santa Fe (ATSF) EMD SD45 locomotive 5598 & three additional SD45's are seen leading a manifest freight train on main line through Cajon Pass, California, ca early 1970's. This was modern heavy main line locomotive power back in this era with 14,400 hp being provided to the train. On the right side of the main line is a siding, and on the other main line track is a Rio Grande TOFC passing by.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
New Haven Railroad EMD GP9 # 1210 & ALCO FA-1 # 0401 lead freight train NH-2 on an express track, while GE EP-5 # 371 leads a mail & express train on a platform track at Stamford, Connecticut, 10-18-68. A old "Seagram's 7" ad sign is to the right. You can observe the triangular configured catenary used in this area of the railroad.
This photo came from my collection of New Haven Railroad negatives, however; the photographers name is unknown.

New Haven Railroad DERS-1b class ALCO RS-1 diesel electric locomotive 0663 is seen while spotted on a siding in an unknown yard area, ca late 1950's. This locomotive has plain journal bearings as compared to most others with roller bearing being installed. Several of this locomotives were retired prior to the Penn Central take over of the New Haven Railroad, but a few did makle into the PC. An interesting fact is that when these locomotives were new they had steam generators installed and were intended to power short commuter trains on branch lines. However; they were apparently under powered for this service, so they wound up being used in light duty local freight train service. These diesel locomotives were powered by the ALCO 539-T series turbo charged six cylinder in-line prime mover with 1,000 hp provided for tractive effort purposes.
This photo came from the Internet and the photographers name was not provided.

New Haven Railroad westbound manifest freight train is operating on an express track while being led by EMD GP9 # 1218, FM H16-44 # 1609 & ALCO FA-1 locomotives which is about to pass by tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, winter 1968. This train could almost be called The Snow Cone Special with all of the snow seen on top of the boxcars during the winter season. An old round roof MUT is situated to the far right in the background and a one car eastbound passenger train can be seen in the distance with a two car consist. Bob Hughes was able to take this photo form his tower location.
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.
The train crosses the profile of the Castle Gate formation. This was the return of a special trip to Las Vegas through Utah, 9 November 2022.
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.
Denver Rio Grande & Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is rounding a main line mountain curve while it is passing a MOW crew in Colorado, Summer 1980. In the distance you can see mountains beyond the forest area.
New Haven Railroad westbound manifest freight train, with a block of refrigerator cars, is led by an EMD GP9 locomotive # 1219, ALCO FB-2 & 2 FM H16-44 locomotives as it is about to pass by tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, summer 1968. Many of the refrigerator boxcars on this train probably came from the northern New England States with produce shipments. Th the left of the GP9 locomotive is a set on round top MUT's and to the right far side is set of P-S lightweight stainless steel MUT's. To the left you can clearly see the highway I-95 highway signs. Bob Hughes was able to photograph this four mixed locomotive set on an express track from his tower location.
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.
New Haven Railroad ALCO DL-109 DER-1c class diesel electric locomotive # 0710, with its passenger train, is seen while operating between Hartford and Waterbury, Connecticut, ca 1951. Check out the nice looking blade semaphore block signals (ATS) still in operation on this date.
The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown. This photo image came from the Internet and I enhanced it for presentation. This photo was colorized by me.

In 2023 werd weer Terug naar Toen georganiseerd door de Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM). Hoogtepunt dit jaar was het weer in dienst komen van de 41 241. Dat was duidelijk te merken aan de hoeveelheden toeschouwers en fotografen langs de lijn ; ) In actie kwamen naast de 41 241, ook de 44 1593, 50 307, 52 3879, 50 3654, 65 018, 23 071, 64 415, 2459, 2530 en de SSN 01 1075. Samen met mijn oudste zoon langs de lijn en op het depot doorgebracht. Het was schitterend weer; 's ochtends mist en later veel zon, maar daardoor helaas minder stoomontwikkeling. Weer een geslaagde dag uit.
n 2023, 'Terug naar Toen' was organized again by the Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM). The highlight this year was the return to service of the 41 241. This was clearly noticeable from the numbers of spectators and photographers along the line ; ) In addition to the 41 241, the 44 1593, 50 307, 52 3879, 50 3654, 65 018, 23 071, 64 415, 2459, 2530 and the SSN 01 1075 were also in action. Spent along the line and at the depot with my eldest son. The weather was beautiful; mist in the morning and later a lot of sun, but unfortunately less steam development. Another successful day out.
Im Jahr 2023 wurde 'Zurück nach Damals' erneut vom Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM) organisiert. Der Höhepunkt in diesem Jahr war die Wiederinbetriebnahme der 41 241. Dies war deutlich an der Zahl der Zuschauer und Fotografen entlang der Strecke zu erkennen; ) Neben der 41 241 waren auch die 44 1593, 50 307, 52 3879, 50 3654, 65 018, 23 071, 64 415, 2459, 2530 und die SSN 01 1075 im Einsatz. Das Wetter war wunderschön; Morgens Nebel und später viel Sonne, aber leider weniger Dampfentwicklung. Ein weiterer erfolgreicher Ausflugstag.
New Haven Railroad DERS-2c class ALCO RS-3 locomotive # 560, is seen in a yard service, maintenance and repair area, ca mid 1950's. These universal main line road switchers could be found all around the system either leading freight or passenger trains, or working as a switcher in a yard.

Western Pacific Railroad EMD F7A diesel electric locomotive # 914A along with four other F-units is leading a manifest freight train as seen viewed going away in the area of Altamont Pass, California, March 18, 1972. In this scene you can see the high capacity boxcars of the era and they look pretty darn good to me. Eventually this railroad became the property of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1981, as did numerous other western and mid-western railroads over the years. This photo came from an Internet scan. The photo has been cropped and modified from the original to improve its appearance. The original photographer's name is unknown.

The weather conditions for the westbound trip were much improved over the eastbound return trip the following day.
CP 470-29 roars thru Sturtevant with BNSF SD70MACe No 9749 and CP SD40-2 No. 6009 for power. This surely was an unusual consist but I definitely wasn’t complaining about it!
Turning C 209 in Banagher, Co. Offaly is the title of this O'Dea image from 1962. Living near a railway yard as a child, I often watched the turning of the old steam engines on the turntable and enjoyed the sight of the mighty engine being handled like a baby. In this case it is a diesel engine which is a bit unusual in my experience, as they had cabs at either end? I look forward to being corrected.
Thank you all for the contributions to the streets of Athenry on Friday. It was fascinating to watch!
