Norfolk Southern operated N&W A class 2-6+6-4 steam locomotive # 1218, led Railfan Excursion Train is being hauled by three EMD diesel locomotives on this branch line portion of the trip to Crossville, Tennessee, October 1987. The steam locomotive was cut off at the junction (Harriman) where this branch line connected with the main line. The train is crossing over one of the numerous trestles and bridges found on this mountain line. There was much Fall beauty to be seen on this trip.

The afternoon Service Towards Lucknow Aishbagh Arrives With IZN YDM4 6528 from Tikunia ( Train Name - Tikunia - Aishbagh Passenger )
I was to board the same train towards Lucknow and somehow captured it since I knew it had a stop of 5 minutes at the station so , Hence I got enough time for the click.
YDM4 Class is one of the threatened species of Indian Railways since only a few Meter-Gauge Railway Lines remain in India , A country which Once used to have one of the world's largest Meter Gauge Networks under British Empire and the meter gauge network that used to exist from North to South and East To West Of India is now depleted and left to a few places which will soon close down and the process of Gauge Conversion to Broad Gauge will take over.
Some Info On The YDM4 Locomotive :-
Co-Co diesel electrics originally from Alco (1961-1964), later manufactured by DLW (1968-1993). The initial batch of 55 from Alco were used for evaluation and comparison with a similar batch of General Motors locos. The Alcos were chosen as the preferred MG main-line diesel locos. Alco model is DL535A. Originally manufactured with only vacuum brakes and dynamic braking, no air brakes. Rated at 1350/1200hp. Max. speed 100km/h. YDM-4A are identical to YDM-4, except that they were supplied by MLW (1964) -- the Canadian batch consisting of about 99 locos. Some of the MLW locos do not have the 'A' suffix in the class designation.
Ahmedabad was the main centre for these locos. A few were hauling local trains in the Secunderabad-Bodhan section in 1997, and are reported [8/00] to be working around Mysore, Villupuram, etc. Some from the Guntakal shed are still [7/02] hauling trains on the Pakala-Guntakal-Bellary route. Some are thought to be at Gandhidham after gauge conversion left Gandhidham - Palanpur an isolated MG line.
DLW has exported some (15 each) of these to Tanzania and Vietnam (1976-1985), and to Bangladesh (2000?). The ones for Bangladesh were classed YDM-4BR and had dual cabs, a change achieved without modifying the length of the loco. This variant turned out later to have major cooling problems.
Malaysian railways (KTM) acquired 39 used YDM-4's from IR in 1996. It is not clear if they were leased or sold. Of these, 14 were returned to India by 1999. In Malaysia they retained their IR road numbers (between 6352 and 6725).
Builders: Alco, MLW, DLW
Engine: Alco 251B-6 (Alco/MLW), Alco 251D-6 (DLW); 6 cyl., 4-stroke, inline
Transmission: Electric (DC-DC, in contrast to most other locos that were AC-DC).
Axle load: 12t. Bogies: Co-Co trimount.
Fuel capacity: 3000l

NHRR ALCO DEY-3 class S-1 switch locomotive 939 is seen in a yard near by a steam locomotive tender and coaling tower, ca late 1940's. As you can steam locomotives were still in service at this time, and there is a tender and the front of a steam locomotive seen in the background. As to the location, to me the tower looks something like the one situated in Providence, RI. You might notice that in this time period both S-1 switchers are wearing marker lamps on the long hood ends. The 65 total ALCO S-1 switchers were purchased between 1941-1949.

A rather fine item of industrial photography on the cover of this c1960 English language leaflet issued to show the full range of industrial diesel engines built by the company. The factory dated back to 1840 being the Maschinenfabrik Augsburg AG prior to merger with the Maschinenbau-Aktiengesellscaft Nürnberg in 1898 that formed the Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg AG, better known as M.A.N. At the time of printing the Augsburg works manufactured both diesel engines as well as printing presses; the latter had been built here since 1845 with the first rotary newspaper presses manufactured in 1873. The real claim to fame was the construction of, between 1893-1895, the world's first experimental diesel engine under the guidance of the inventor Rudolf Diesel.
The leaflet notes that the company employs 7000 workers in the Diesel Engine Division in Augsburg as well as others in the subsidiary factories in Nürnberg and Hamburg.

Dit jaar ben ik met mijn oudste zoon voor de tweede keer naar de Havendagen in Rotterdam geweest; meestal waren we bij de Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij voor 'Terug naar Toen' stoomtreinen kijken, òf naar de vliegshow Sanicole in België. Een fantastische ervaring deze havendagen. Veel demonstraties van het loodswezen, de Koninklijke Reddingsmaatschappij en het Corps Mariniers. We keken onze ogen uit. De Havendagen staan voor de komende jaren zeker weer op de planning.
This year I went with my eldest son to the Port Days in Rotterdam for the second time; Usually we were at the Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij to watch steam trains 'Back to Then', or at the Sanicole air show in Belgium. A fantastic experience these port days. Many demonstrations by the pilotage service, the Royal Rescue Society and the Marine Corps. We were amazed. The Port Days are certainly planned again for the coming years.
Dit jaar met mijn oudste zoon naar het jaarlijks evenement 'Sporen naar het verleden' geweest. Naast de eigen locs, waren dit jaar de MBS 7853 'Navicence', de Stoomcentrum Maldegem WD 75196 en de SSN 65 018 te gast. Ook de Stichting Hondekop kwam met de 766 naar Goes. Dit jaar werden ook meerdere goederentreinen gereden, waar voor mij de nadruk op lag. Daarnaast waren de omC 909 en de USATC 7989, NS serie 600-2000 opgesteld. Het was weer schitterend weer en 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 MBS 7853 'Navicence', die Stoomcentrum Maldegem WD 75196 und die SSN 65 018 zum Gast. Auch die "Stiftung Hundenkopf" kamm nach Goes. In diesem Jahr wurden auch mehrere Güterzüge gefahren, die besonderes meine Interesse hatten. Zusätzlich wurden der omC 909 und der USATC 7989 der NS-Serie 600-2000 aufgestelt. Es war wieder schönes Wetter und eine sehr erfolgreiche Veranstaltung
This year, I went with my youngest son and his friend to the annual event "Sporen naar het verleden". In addition to its own locs, the guests of this year were the MBS 7853 'Navicence', the Stoomcentrum Maldegem WD 75196 and the SSN 65 018. Also the "stichting Hondekop" came to Goes. Several freight trains were also running, which had my mayor interest. In addition, the omC 909 and the USATC 7989, NS series 600-2000 were also shown. It was beautiful day again and a very successful event.
97304 “John Tiley” and 57313 power up the Twymyn valley on the 5Z95 12:18 Aberystwyth to Carnforth ECS following the previous day's Statesman railtour to Scarborough. 47854 is DOR. Two minutes later - at its booked time - the sun came out.
No open level crossing controlled by lights then. The crew operated the gates and closed them behind the train. On a chilly 16 April 1977 no 27 101 has just arived with its train from Fort William. One wonders how much steam heat reached the back of the train on that journey.
The quaint Shell 'filling station' is, of course, no more.

Tijdens ons bezoek aan het Erfgoedmuseum Barger-Compascuum hoorde ik van het Industrieel Smalspoor Museum in Erica. dit lag hier niet ver van verwijderd. Nadat we het erfgoedmuseum bezichtigd hadden, zijn we daar nog even langsgereden. We kwamen er een klein uurtje voor sluitingstijd aan, maar nog voldoende tijd om even rond te kijken.
During our visit to the Barger-Compascuum Heritage Museum, I heard about the Industrial Narrow Gauge Railway Museum in Erica. It wasn't far from here. After visiting the heritage museum, we stopped by. We arrived about an hour before closing time, but still had plenty of time to take a look around.
Bei unserem Besuch im Barger-Compascuum Heritage Museum hörte ich vom Industrial Narrow Gauge Railway Museum in Erica. Es war nicht weit von hier. Nach dem Besuch des Heimatmuseums schauten wir dort vorbei. Wir kamen etwa eine Stunde vor Schließung an, hatten aber noch genügend Zeit, uns umzusehen.
