Nederlandse Spoorwegen diesellocomotief 6404 is aan het rangeren in het Sloehavengebied in Vlissingen.
Dutch Railways dieselengine 6404 is shunting in the Sloeharbour area at Vlissingen.
This class WDS-6AD Co-Co has brought in the empty stock for an express to Howrah (for Kolkata, on the other side of the Hooghly river). The journey is nearly 2,000 km/1,250 miles, and will take over 26 hours.
The electric loco that will take it out will have a job on its hands - 21 vehicles including a baggage-generator car weighing, by my calculations, about 900 tonnes tare. That's what I call a train.

See also the B&W one (that I prefer) that is next. <--
Actually it's a Stourbridge Junction Flyer' but that's not so snappy-sounding. This class 68/DVT set was substituting for a class 168 on the 21.10 Marylebone to Stourbridge Junction - and who could resist a 100 mph run behind a 68 (sitting at the front of the first coach obviously) when the alternative is a 75 mph class 165 'semi-slow'?
No 68 010 'Oxford Flyer' has paused at High Wycombe. The image is a bit grainy but it kinda captures the moment. Waiting on the platform for my stopper, I could still hear the 68 as it roared through the night in the region of West Wycombe around three miles away.
97303 and 97301 haul Colas tamper DR73931 as the 6J86 Aberystwyth to Coleham gingerly across Clettwr bridge - still in the process of being rebuilt - having decided to leave the Seacow ballast wagons at Aberystwyth.
Onderweg terug uit Aberdeen naar Harwich kwamen we langs de Nene Valey Railway. Daar hebben we natuurlijk even een korter stop gemaakt. Het terrein was grotendeels toegankelijk, maar helaas stond er niets onder stoom. Wel werd er gerangeerd met een Black Five en stond een van mijn favoriete Britse locs (Battle of Brittain) voor de loods (helaas tender voor). Een schitterende locatie met een prachtig station, seinhuis, enzovoorts. Hopelijk een volgende keer weer een bezoekje.
On our way back from Aberdeen to Harwich, we passed the Nene Valey Railway. We had a short stop there of course. The grounds were open, but unfortunately none of the locs was under fire. But a Black Five (frame) was shunted around and one of my favourite British locos was standing in front of the shed (tender first). It is a beautiful location with a marvellous station, signal box, railway crossing, turntable, etcetera.
I took this photo in October 1989 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35 mm Camera and it shows New Jersey Transit Endcab Switcher Number 500 at Route 10 and Whippany Road in Whippany, New Jersey. Note the NJT Coach has a Clerestory Roof.
The SW1500 Endcab Switcher was built by the Electromotive Division (aka: EMD) of General Motors in December 1970 for the Peoria & Lake Erie Railway (aka: PLE, aka: P&LE). It is ex LTEX Leasing #500, nee P&LE #1570.
There must have been a Festival going on at the Whippany Railroad Museum, because several of my Photographs from October 1989 have lots of people in them, including Kids. I just don't remember and I can't find any Notes that I wrote in that time-frame.
Disclaimer: I took photograph in October 1989 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35 mm SLR Camera with Color Print Film, when I was just learning photography, so it is very soft & grainy. I scanned the Negative, and used Photoshop Elements™ to correct the Exposure and Saturation to generate the Digital Digital Image, presented here on flickr™.
This Photograph was so Grainy, that I couldn't do much with it, but it was one of my early photographs, so I decided to post it to flickr™.
A power unit removed from a Portugese CP Class 1800 locomotive. Whilst the power unit block is ostensibly the same as that fitted to a UK Class 50 there are a large number of differences in the layout of pipework & fittings such as in this view there are no turbo chargers or intercoolers fitted as there is on a UK Class 50 power unit. Also note the belt driven drive off the main generator
