Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound eight car Rio Grande Zephyr is rounding a main line mountain curve in a view seen from the dome lounge observation car vestibule in Colorado, Summer 1980.

Blue Ridge Southern Railroad yard engine service & maintainence area with EMD SD40-2 locomotive # 4205 & GP39-2 locomotive # 3932 seen at Canton, North Carolina, 9-16-2022. Many of the freight cars seen in this view will serve the Evergreen Paper Packaging Facility that is seen in the background. Notice the track absorbtive matt situated between the rails. This was another photo that was taken with the camera raised above my head to get above the fence. Locomotive # 4205 is the only engine with the railroad's herald located on its nose, which in my opinion looks the best overall.
Central Vermont Railway MLW-ALCO RS11 diesel electric Locomotive # 3611 is seen in a yard area in Vermont, August 1979. As we were driving toward Bellows Falls and Steamtown we drove over a highway overpass which crossed over some tracks below and I noticed this beauty spotted there on its own. Since I have always been a fan of ALCO diesel locomotives, I just had to stop to capture this image on film. Do believe that this paint scheme presents itself well on this locomotive. A real surprise was situated on the right, because there still was an active turntable in use at this facility.
Dit jaar ben ik weer met mijn oudste zoon en mijn vader naar Terug naar Toen van de VSM geweest. En natuurlijk stonden er natuurlijk weer veel locs onder stoom. Dit jaar waren de 65 018 en 01 1075 van de SSN weer te gast. Voor de 65 018 één van haar laatste publieke optredens bij de SSN, voordat ze uit dienst gehaald zou worden. De gebruikelijke stoomtreinen tussen Beekbergen en Apeldoorn reden dit jaar alleen in de ochtend. Dus daar lag in de ochtend de focus op. In de middag werd vooral rondom Loenen doorgebracht. Het was weer een schitterend spektakel met prachtig weer.
Dieses Jahr bin ich mit meineltester Sohn un mein Vater nach Zurück nach Damals der VSM gefahren. Und natürlich waren wieder viele Loks unter Dampf. Dieses Jahr waren die 65 018 und die 01 1075 der SSN wieder zu Gast. Für die 65 018 eine Ihrer letzten Fahrten für die SSN. Die üblichen Dampf Güterzüge zwischen Beekbergen und Apeldoorn liefen dieses Jahr nur am Morgen. Das war der Fokus am Morgen. Am Nachmittag wurde hauptsächlich um Loenen herum verbracht. Es war wieder ein großartiges Spektakel mit schönem Wetter.
This year my eldest son, my father and I went the event "Terug naar Toen (Back to then) by the VSM. And of course, many locs were under steam again. The SSN 65 018 and 01 1075 were visiting locomotives again. For the 65 018 one of her last appearances for the SSN before her to be taken out of service. The usual steam goods trains between Beekbergen and Apeldoorn were only running in the morning this year. So that was the focus for the morning. In the afternoon we mainly spend our time around Loenen. Again it was a magnificent spectacle with beautiful weather.
Denver & Rio Grande Western EMD F9A diesel electric locomotive # 5771 cab view with the engineer preparing for morning departure of the Rio Grande Zephyr at the station in Denver, Colorado, Summer 1980. This locomotive is the lead engine with two additional EMD F9B engines following to power the eight car Rio Grande Zephyr.
No 27 040 and a couple of parcels vans feature in this charming scene (freezing temperature notwithstanding).
The station has changed hugely since this was taken. The overall roof has gone, as has the original station building, which has been replaced by something smaller, modern and characterless.
10 January 1978.

Typical of Southern Railway and Norfolk & Western operation, the NS locomotive is still operating with its long nose forward.
Elk jaar organiseert de MBS een Najaarsstyoomdag. Dit jaar kwam ook de 162 in actie met een net opgeknapte boxcar. Ook werden er weer enkele slagen gereden met de Wismar railbus. Het was helaas erg regenachtig, wat echter wel weer bijdroeg aan de sfeer.
Every year the MBS organizes an Autumn Stoom Day. This year, the 162 came into action with a recently refurbished boxcar also. There were also some rides with the Wismar railbus. Unfortunately it was raining a lot, although it did add to the atmosphere.

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.
New Haven Railroad DERS-2c class ALCO RS-3 locomotives # 520 & # 545 are seen on a siding near the waterfront at Fall River, Massachusetts, 8-17-1957. You can see the engineer in the cab of RS-3 # 520. These locomotives were purchased during 1950-1952 and they had steam generators for passenger service. The RS-3 actually was a real workhorse for the New Haven Railroad in my opinion, and they were seen just about anywhere of the railroad.

Normally this second station platform track was typically assigned to the Southland, but from the look of this train with all of the headend equipment it appears to be the later departing train 38 (The Jax Mail).

Five Penn Central ex New Haven Railroad GE U25B diesel electric locomotives, with # 2678 up front, are seen on the ready tracks in the Cedar Hill Yard at New Haven, Connecticut, 1971. The locomotives have been re-numbered into the 2600 class PC numbering system on their locomotive roster. During the mid to late 1950's and into the 1960's the catenary was removed from the yard, along with numerous tracks, buildings and facilities. The yard started to become a shadow of itself as time went by and the trash was building up in just about all areas of the yard. You can see steam escaping from numerous pipe connections throughout the yard area. Bob Hughes had access to many areas of the yard to take his photo images.

Some Facts About Indian Railways WDP4D Locomotive -
Now Some Info on EMDGT46PAC : -
Variants -
There are three variants of this loco - the original WDP-4 which is a 4,000 hp (2,980 kW) loco, the WDP-4B which is a 4,500 hp (3,360 kW)126 t (124 long tons; 139 short tons) weighted loco with a single cab and the newest WDP-4D which is a 4,500 hp (3,360 kW) loco with dual cabs.
Performance -
The WDP-4 is capable of hauling 24 coach trains at 110–130 km/hour. It has also been used for speed trials where it has hauled 9 coach trains at 180 km/hour with recent trials done with Renfe Talgo coaches where it was tested at 195Kmph.
The locomotives can be used in either direction, and frequently haul trains long hood forward, as in the picture. Newer editions with 4500 hp have been produced which have been named with the sub class WDP-4B /WDP-4D which have different traction control with six traction motors and are Co-Co bogie equipped (more similar to WDG-4), unlike the original which has a Bo-1-1-Bo arrangement with four traction motors. Due to some controversies regarding visibility hindrances faced by loco pilots in driving long hood front, the basic WDP-4B model has been modified to dual cab to eliminate any such possibility. Other features of WDP-4B and WDP-4D are same. The cabs have a slightly wider profiles, to improve visibility.
Some of the WDP-4B/WDP-4D are spotted having provision for an inverter-driven head-end power unit, allowing running trains without a generating car (EOG) for hotel power.
The loco is very fuel efficient and has minimal exhaust emissions unlike ALCO based locomotives, thanks to its 2 stroke high efficiency diesel engine. It is characterized by its loud horn, which can be heard for large distances around, and aircraft-like sound of its running engine.
