In de zomervakantie van 2023 moesten mijn vrouw en ik wegens familie omstandigheden halsoverkop naar Aberdeen, Schotland. Tijdens een van de laatste dagen daar, bleek de Caledonian Railway een speciaal evenement te hebben; de Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Diverse door diesellocomotieven getrokken treinen reden tussen Brechin en Bridge of Dun. Op diverse plekken langs de lijn heb ik gefotografeerd en natuurlijk ook zelf weer een ritje gemaakt. Toch nog een geslaagde dag geweest.

During the summer holidays of 2023, my wife and I had to rush to Aberdeen, Scotland, due to family circumstances. During one of the last days there, the Caledonian Railway turned out to be having a special event; the Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Several diesel locomotive-hauled trains ran between Brechin and Bridge of Dun. I took photographs at various places along the line and of course also went for a ride myself. Still a successful day.

An einem der letzten Tage dort hatte die Caledonian Railway ein besonderes Ereignis; die Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Zwischen Brechin und Bridge of Dun verkehrten mehrere von Diesellokomotiven gezogene Züge. Ich habe an verschiedenen Stellen entlang der Strecke Fotos gemacht und bin natürlich auch selbst mitgefahren. Dennoch ein erfolgreicher Tag.

Detroit and Mackinac #7 was purchased as war surplus by the Detroit and Mackinac Railway in 1948, who converted it to a baggage car by plating over several windows, and adding a baggage door and vestibules. After passenger service ended on the D and M in 1951, the car was made into a caboose, allowing D and M to retire several aging wooden cars in their cabooses fleet. In the 1970’s, a Detroit-Diesel generator was added to the car, in order for it to serve as a power car for D and M’s business-car fleet. In 2004 the Steam Railroading Institute purchased the car for use as an auxiliary power car.

We had to suspend rather sharpish our photography of the Myanmar railways class YC crossing a bridge and get out of the way of no DF.2091 speeding up the main line with an express.
