Crianlarich West Highland Line April 2011
EWS liveried 66111 draws to a halt at Crianlarich in the West Highlands with Day 2 of the "Loch Lomond & Royal Deeside Railtour"
The full length of the train was too long for the platform with T&T partner 66114 unseen round the corner. The driver gets out and locks the engine off and take the long walk to the other locomotive.
He telephones for a radio token to drive back down the line to Dumbarton Central via Craigendoran Jct. Whilst all this is going on the punters of this UK Railtours train were tucking into a three course meal on the train.
They were staying at the Beardmore Hotel in Dalmuir.
Crianlarich is where the normal service trains Class 156 DMU's still uncouple. They are either have a 2 & 2 or 4 & 2 formation upon arrival with the different portions being split either going onto
Oban and Fort William.
97304 “John Tiley” accelerates away from Fron crossing with the 07:25 5Z94 Carnforth to Aberystwyth ECS move for the following day's Statesman railtour to Scarborough. DiT were 47854 and 57313.
I thought today's upload would have to be modern traction.... until Sybilla pulled into Whitby station while I was waiting for my train home.
See what I mean about the weather? For a long time before the train arrived, there was glorious sun on the viaduct and all around. As soon as the 20s appeared about half a mile away, it clouded over. 20304 and 20303 cross Knucklas viaduct with Pathfinder Railtours’ “The Heart of Wales Explorer,” 1Z29 16:35 Llandrindod Wells to Derby, the first time since 1997 that Class 20s have worked the line. Naturally, the weather didn’t play ball.

“It was lots of fun,” Bellefonte Central Railroad office employees exclaimed as they arrived at the State College depot after the 18 mile journey from Bellefonte in the cab of a locomotive. The ride was occasioned by a new diesel engine, replacing steam power on the railroad.

The power unit to be fitted into D1015 Western Champion upon completion is seen at Old Oak Common on 11th June 2011. The cylinder liners awaiting fitment are stored alongside it & in the background can be seen the pistons & con rods.
Hosted by TransLink and South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority, the Trans-Expo 2010 is an annual event aimed at bringing transit professionals together across Canada. This year the gathering is held at the Vancouver Convention Centre on November 16, 2010. Nearly 100 exhibitors set up booths at West Exhibit Hall C to showcase their mostly environmental-friendly products.
Quite a good number of newer and yet everyday technologies are also incorporated into the public transit system, many with sustainability features. Diesel-Electric hybrid engine, LED lighting, solar-powered devices, GPS, Wi-Fi, H.264 video codec etc. Many of these technologies are not alien to the average consumer.
So much for the new stuff, but objects that have interesting heritage values are not forgotten either. The Transit Museum Society had an on-site exhibit with a few antique transit buses on display. These are the ones that your parents or grandparents used to ride. In fact, BC has been building interurban buses over 100 years ago. In 1905, the BC Electric Railway shop in New Westminster built Car 1207 for opening of the new Steveston line by way of the Arbutus Corridor connecting Vancouver and Richmond. Many long-time residents among those communities still remember the streetcar line and some have longed for its return.

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.
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.
