Dit jaar met mijn oudste zoon naar het jaarlijks evenement 'Sporen naar het verleden' geweest. Naast de eigen locs, waren dit jaar stoomloc Tom van Hoogovens Stoom IJmuiden en loc 8 Ooievaar van de SHM aanwezig. Ook maakte de omC 909 enkele ritten. Dit jaar werden ook meerdere goederentreinen gereden, waar voor mij de nadruk op lag. Het was weer een erg geslaagd evenement.

In diesem Jahr bin ich mit mein ältester Sohn zum jährlichen Veranstaltung der SGB "Sporen naar het verleden" gefahren. Neben den eigenen Locs waren in diesem Jahr die Dapflok Tom der Hoogovens Stoom Ijmuiden und die loc 8 Ooievaar der SHM zum Gast. Daneben machte die Omc909 einige fahrten. In diesem Jahr wurden auch mehrere Güterzüge gefahren, die besonderes meine Interesse hatten. Es war wieder eine sehr erfolgreiche Veranstaltung

This year, I went with eldest son to the annual event "Sporen naar het verleden". In addition to its own locs, the guests of this year were the steam locomotive Tom of the Hoogovens Stoom IJmuiden and the locomotive 8 "Ooievaar" of the SHM. Next to these the Omc909 also made some rides. Several freight trains were also running, which had my mayor interest. It was a very successful event.

Samen met mijn zoon zijn we twee dagen naar de MBS Najaarsstoomdagen geweest. Dit jaar reed, naast de Wismar railbus, de Magda en Kikker, de ELNA 152 in het zwart weer mee. Ook de gastloc SHM 6513 kwam in actie. De twee locjes MBS 12 Rij-ijzer, 't Gekje' en MBS 10 'Nijverdal' mochten een ritje naar Zoutindustrie maken. Helaas raakte daarbij Rij-ijzer defect en moest teruggesleept worden door de ELNA. Op zaterdagavond werd er een night shooting georganiseerd, wat in mijn ogen wel een hoogtepunt was van het weekend. Zeker later op de avond, waren wij nog de enigen op het depot en konden we nog vele mooie plaatjes schieten.

My son and I went to the MBS Autumn Steam Days for two days. This year, in addition to the Wismar railbus, the Magda, and the Kikker, the ELNA 152, all black, was also participating. Guest locomotive SHM 6513 was also in action. The two locomotives, MBS 12 Rij-ijzer, 't Gekje', and MBS 10 'Nijverdal', were also making a trip to Zoutindustrie. Unfortunately, Rij-ijzer broke down and had to be towed back by the ELNA. On Saturday evening, a night shoot was organized, which, in my opinion, was a highlight of the weekend. Especially later in the evening, we were the only ones at the depot, and we were able to take many beautiful pictures.

Mein Sohn und ich besuchten zwei Tage lang die MBS Herbstdampftage. Dieses Jahr war neben dem Wismarer Schienenbus, der Magda und der Kikker auch die komplett schwarze ELNA 152 dabei. Die Gastlokomotive SHM 6513 war ebenfalls im Einsatz. Die beiden Lokomotiven MBS 12 Rij-ijzer, 't Gekje' und MBS 10 'Nijverdal' unternahmen eine Fahrt nach Zoutindustrie. Leider hatte Rij-ijzer eine Panne und musste von der ELNA zurückgeschleppt werden. Am Samstagabend fand ein Nachtfotoshooting statt, das meiner Meinung nach ein Höhepunkt des Wochenendes war. Vor allem später am Abend waren wir die Einzigen im Depot und konnten viele schöne Fotos machen.

Dit jaar ben ik weer met mijn beide zonen en mijn vader naar Terug naar Toen van de VSM geweest. En natuurlijk stonden er natuurlijk weer veel locs onder stoom. Dit jaar was de 23 023 van de SSN weer te gast en werd er een line-up van de drie rijvaardige 23ers georganiseerd. De gebruikelijke goederentreinen 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 meinen beiden Söhnen und mein Vater nach Zurück nach Damals der VSM gefahren. Und natürlich waren wieder viele Loks unter Dampf. In diesem Jahr war der 23 023 der SSN zu Gast und eine Aufstellung der drei fahrenden 23er wurde organisiert. 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 both sons, 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. This year the SSN's 23 023 was guest locomotive and a line-up of the three running 23ers was organized. 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.

Samen met mijn twee zoons naar het Plandampf spektakel rondom Trier geweest. Diverse locs kwamen in actie; 01 202, 01 150 (een dag), 01 1075, 03 1010, 52 1360, 52 8154, 52 8195, 78 468, 103 113, V200 033, CFL 5519 en de 11SM van de Brohltalbahn. De Brohltalbahn hebben we niet bezocht, maar in plaats daarvan een bezoek gebracht aan het vliegtuigmuseum in Hermeskeil. Ook nog een bezoek gebracht aan het spoorwegmuseum in hermeskeil. Dit zou eigenlijk gesloten zijn, maar speciaal voor ons werd het hek toch van het slot gehaald ; )

we hebben vier heerlijke dagen stoom meegemaakt. En door de grote dichtheid van treinen en het schitterende landschap, veel mooie foto's en video's kunnen maken.

Together with my two sons I went to the Plandampf spectacle around Trier. Various locs came into action; 01 202, 01 150 (one day), 01 1075, 03 1010, 52 1360, 52 8154, 52 8195, 78 468, 103 113, V200 033, CFL 5519 and the 11SM of the Brohltalbahn. We did not visit the Brohltalbahn, but visited the aircraft museum in Hermeskeil instead. Also visited the railway museum in Hermeskeil. This would actually be closed, but especially for us the gate was unlocked ; )

We have experienced four wonderful days of steam. And because of the high density of trains and the beautiful landscape, we were able to make many beautiful photos and videos.

Wir haben die Brohltalbahn nicht besucht, sondern stattdessen das Flugzeugmuseum in Hermeskeil besucht. Auch das Eisenbahnmuseum in Hermeskeil. Das wäre eigentlich geschlossen, aber speziell für uns wurde das Tor vom Schloss entfernt; )

Wir haben vier wunderbare Tage Dampf erlebt. Und wegen der hohen Dichte an Zügen und der schönen Landschaft lassen sich viele schöne Fotos und Videos machen.

BACK IN THE USA!

Dank der Plandemie Zwangspause ging seit 2019 endlich wieder über den grossen Teich. Die erste Woche wurde ganz der Eisenbahnfotografie gewitmet. Seit 2009 ging es wieder ins Railroad Capital der USA, Chicago und Ungebung. Mit meinem besten Freund flog ich am 03.10 von Frankfurt nach Chicago, wo wir am Mittag landeten. Nach einen kurzem Zwischenstop am Hotel ging direkt zur ersten Fotostelle die ca. 3 Meilen nur entfernt war.

Ziel des Chicagobesuch waren unteranderem die für den Personenverkehr ungebauten SD70 von Metra und natürlich Heritage Units. Also Lokomotiven mit besondere Lackierung vergangener Bahngesellschaften.

Hinter beide Punkte konnte nach erste Stunde ein Haken gemacht werden. Metra schickte zu unserer Freude Lok 405 in der auffälligen orangen Lackierung der Milwaulkee Road vorbei. Besser konnte der Urlaub nicht starten.

Het wordt voor ons ondertussen traditie om op Hemelvaartsdag, wanneer de Nationale Stoomtreindag wordt georganiseerd, naar de RTM te gaan. Dit jaar zijn mijn oudste zoon en ik dus weer naar deze mooie museumlijn in de duinen gegaan. Het weer was schitterend, de treinen mooi. Weer genieten.

It is becoming a tradition to go to the RTM on Ascension Day, when the National Steam Day is organized. This year my oldest son and I visited this beautiful museum line in the dunes. The weather was beautiful, the trains were nice. A wonderful day again.

On September 18, 1992, I went on a Steam Train Excursion sponsored by the United Railroad Historical Society (aka: URHS) in Scranton Pennsylvania (aka: Steamtown"), and a Locomotive Photography Shoot from the Scranton Turntable. I also had time to do a walking tour of the Scranton Steamtown National Historic Site. Further information about Steamtown can be found at:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steamtown_National_Historic_Site

This Celebration was called Photographer's Weekend !

I took this Photograph of Canadian Atlantic Railway Number 8023 before the Nighttime Photoshoot. It was posed on one of the Lead Tracks to the Turntable. The Canadian Atlantic Rwy is a Division of CP Rail. It looks like a Water Tank /Tower in the background behind the Locomotive.

During the Nighttime Photo Shoot, the participants (myself included) were directed to set up their Tripod Mounted Cameras on the Turntable with their cameras set for bulb (to control the shutter) and with their lenses set for a specific f-Stop. For each Photo, the URHS Crew would move & Position a Locomotive within view of all of the participants cameras and, told us which f-stop to use. This type of Photography is often referred to as Time Lapse Photography ( aka: Open Lens Photography, aka: Bulb Photography )

They would then move around between the participants and the Locomotive firing Flash Bulbs at numerous spots on each locomotive, so as to completely light all parts of the locomotive (Serially, Not Simultaneously). They did this for each Locomotive chosen by the URHS and we were told when to open our Lenses, followed by their firing all of the Flash Bulbs & when to close our Lenses. Our Film was therefore incrementally exposed by each overlapping illuminated area on the locomotive to form a complete picture of the locomotive. This was done for each locomotive chosen by the URHS Crew. I don't remember how many locomotives we photographed that night, but it was somewhere around a dozen. It was limited by the cumulative time required to move a locomotive into position, the time required to flash each of the Flash Bulbs and replace one locomotive with another a dozen times. This amounted to several hours.

I took this photograph with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 SLR using Color Print Film, when I was just learning photograph; so they are very soft & grainy. I scanned the Negatives and used Photoshop Elements to correct the exposure and to generate these Digital Images.

Disclaimer: Since I took this photograph while I was still learning Photography, some of my original Photos are of poor quality in both Exposure and Sharpness, which I could only partially correct with Adobe Photoshop Elements™.

Forever grateful to have done two end-to-end journeys in 11097/Poorna Express. Hard to believe it's still running end to end behind WDP-4D even today in 2026. 😀
