In late 1985, I made one of my last pilgrimages to the GWR Mecca of Swindon Works, as I had arranged to pick up some more flamecut panels. By this time, the Works was being wound down for closure, and most of the locomotives that I saw that day, whether inside or out, were in the process of being stripped or scrapped.
A final view before departing the 'A shop' for the last time - a relatively quiet scene, with some refurbished Class 08 shunter wheel sets accompanied by an engine from some diesel - anyone?
Swindon Works With many of the early structures built and adorned by stone extracted from the construction of Box Tunnel, the first building – the locomotive repair shed – was completed in 1841 using contract labour, with the necessary machinery installed within it by 1842. Initially only employing 200 men, repairs began in 1843, with the first new locomotive, the "Premier", built in 1846 in under two weeks and renamed "Great Western". This was followed by six more, with the Iron Dukes, including "The Lord of the Isles", considered the fastest broad-gauge engine of its day. Eventually, the Works transformed Swindon from a small 2,500-population market town into a bustling railway town.
Building of locomotives finished in 1965 with construction of the Class 14 diesel-hydraulic locomotives. Locomotive repairs and carriage and wagon work continued, though the original carriage and wagon workshop was sold.
After the works became part of BR's integrated British Rail Engineering Ltd (BREL), it won less and less maintenance business against the internal competition of Crewe and Derby Works. With the town of Swindon expanding and needing land close to its centre for development, the decision was made to close the works. The final day of operation was 26 March 1986.

It has been a long time since we had a look at the O'Dea Collection, today we have a very interesting shot of a mail train in Rathduff. I see a flying snail logo and the words snail and mail come to mind. I dont know about you but I would rather receive a nice letter through the post rather than 100 e-mails!

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.
New Haven Railroad ALCO DL-109 locomotive 0732 & another are stopped with a Shore Line Boston bound passenger train at the station in New London, Connecticut, ca early 1950's. The first car on this train appears to be a lightweight diner followed by a heavyweight parlor car and possibly a lightweight parlor car after that and then coaches. It appears that the train conductor is standing on the fireman's side ladder and is talking to the cab crew. Then on the right side platform area there appears to be another trainman in uniform standing. On the left side there seems to be many observers checking out the train. Then in the background you can see the locomotive storage and maintenance area, along with the old coaling tower. In the locomotive storage area are some ALCO road switchers and a couple of Budd RDC's. The harbor seen in the background leads out to either Long Island Sound or to the Atlantic Ocean. Various ferry services operates out of this harbor area with connections to Block Island and many other islands.

New Haven Railroad DERS-2b class ALCO RS-2 diesel electric locomotive # 0508 wtih some old former NYW&B modified Stillwell cars in a passenger train that is seen along a platform at South Station in Boston, Massachusetts, ca 1950. The RS-2 locomotive was equipped with a steam generator situated in the short hood end. These Stillweel cars when originally built were AC powered MU cars that had a center door, but when the New Haven Railroad later modified them they removed the electrical gear, headlight and the center door to make them into steam heated suburban coaches.

Seen during a visit to Railtown 1897 in Jamestown California on 11-20-2015. These are old side dump ballast cars sitting on what used to be the Angels Branch of the Sierra Railway. This branch used to run from Jamestown to Angels Camp California through some very rugged country.
New Haven Railroad DEY-1 ALCO switcher # 0900, is seen in motor storage at New Haven Union Station, New Haven, Connecticut, ca early-mid 19430's. This locomotive was a one of a kind on the New Haven Railroad in that it was originally ALCO demonstrator 50000, that was built in 1931 with 600 hp and a high hood. Seen in the background is an EP-2 motor.
This photo came from my collection of New Haven Railroad negatives, however; the photographers name is unknown.

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.

Dos de las inglesas que participaron en la construcción de la LAV Madrid-Barcelona detenidas ejerciendo de topera durante el fin de semana a la altura de Sant Boi de Llobregat. A partir de aquí la línea tenía un tendido provisional. La L28 fue desguazada, pero la L34 ha sobrevivido y regresó a Gran Bretaña en 2013.

When the Spanish government decided to build the Spanish high speed lines in the Standard European gauge, they needed to be quickly provided from locomotives and rolling stock at that gauge. They hired fourteen engines (ex L37 British Railway series) from EWS. The Spanish rail fans call these beauties "Piggies" and "the English ones".
The locomotives that I captured in the picture were the L28 (was scrapped in 2011) and the L34 that has returned to the United Kingdom.

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.

Na onze eerdere bezoeken aan het Bello Festival, stond een hernieuwd bezoek zeker op de planning. Deze keer was het traject weer opgedeeld in drie delen, waar de diverse trams heen en weer pendelden; Hoorn-Wognum-Nibbixwoud, Wognum-Nibbixwoud-Twisk en Twisk-Medemblik. Dat zorgde voor een intensieve dienstregeling. Omdat ik sinds april zelf als vrijwilliger bij de Museumstoomtram actief ben, stond ik nu op zaterdag langs de lijn en zat op zondag zelf als conducteur in de tram. De zaterdag begon al vroeg, omdat ik de goederentrein naar Medemblik wilde meepakken. Hierna richtte ik me vooral op de Bello met zijn tram tussen Wognum-Nibbixwoud en Twisk en de houten tram tussen Twisk en Medemblik. Ook nog even de SSN-stoomtrein in Hoorn op de foto gezet, toen deze de terugreis aanvaardde. De dag was wat grauw. Maar dat mocht de pret niet drukken.
After our previous visits to the Bello Festival, a return visit was definitely on the agenda. This time, the route was again divided into three sections, with various trams running back and forth: Hoorn-Wognum-Nibbixwoud, Wognum-Nibbixwoud-Twisk, and Twisk-Medemblik. This resulted in a busy schedule. Since I've been volunteering at the Museum Steam Tram since April, I now spent Saturdays working along the line and Sundays as a conductor on the tram. Saturday started early because I wanted to catch the freight train to Medemblik. After that, I focused mainly on the Bello, with its tram between Wognum-Nibbixwoud and Twisk, and the wooden tram between Twisk and Medemblik. I also took a picture of the SSN steam train in Hoorn as it started its return journey. The day was a bit gray, but that didn't spoil the fun.
Nach unseren vorherigen Besuchen beim Bello-Festival stand ein erneuter Besuch ganz oben auf dem Programm. Auch dieses Mal war die Strecke wieder in drei Abschnitte unterteilt, auf denen verschiedene Straßenbahnen hin und her verkehrten: Hoorn–Wognum–Nibbixwoud, Wognum–Nibbixwoud–Twisk und Twisk–Medemblik. Das führte zu einem vollen Programm. Da ich seit April ehrenamtlich bei der Museums-Dampfstraßenbahn mitarbeite, verbrachte ich die Samstage mit Arbeiten entlang der Strecke und die Sonntage als Schaffner. Der Samstag begann früh, da ich den Güterzug nach Medemblik erreichen wollte. Danach konzentrierte ich mich hauptsächlich auf die Bello-Bahn, mit ihrer Straßenbahn zwischen Wognum–Nibbixwoud und Twisk sowie der Holzstraßenbahn zwischen Twisk und Medemblik. Außerdem fotografierte ich die SSN-Dampflokomotive in Hoorn, als sie ihre Rückfahrt antrat. Der Tag war etwas grau, aber das tat der guten Stimmung keinen Abbruch.

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.
Dit keer hadden mijn vrouw en ik twee dagkaartjes 1e klas cadeau gekregen. Deze zouden tot 31 december geldig zijn. Door omstandigheden kwam het er echter niet van deze ook te gebruiken. Dus de 30 december op de trein naar Maastricht gestapt voor een lekker dagje uit.
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.
We got two day tickets 1st class as a gift, valid till December 31st. Due to curcumstances not able to use them. So the 30th we went for a relaxing day out to Maastricht. It was a nice day out.

Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is passing through tunnel # 22, possibly the shortest tunnel on the route, as it heads along the Rocky Mountain right-of-way in Colorado, Summer 1980. The landscape colors appear to change all along the route and the vegetation too. That block signal is neither a dwarf nor a standard tall boy but has an intermediate height plus a special symbol indicated.
