De nuevo Atxabiribil, Sopelana (Bizkaia), en esa tarde de nubes grises potentes, viendo otro angulo de los posibles. Utilice un filtro ND 1.2 de Tiffen y un degradado 0.9 de Lee para dar ese aire de "fin del mundo" en el cielo. Con Photoshop aumente contraste y toque los niveles un pelin ya que estaba bastante bien de luz para mi gusto. Aumento de nitidez y filtro ruido para el cielo.

Another month has passed and the PLPR is back to repeat its circuits of Scotland to identify any potential track defects. DRS have the contract to provide traction for these services in Scotland and on this occasion they provided RETB-fitted 37402 and 37419 (again - seemingly a favourite for these trains!)
The train is seen just north of Blackford with 1Q77 from Mossend to Inverness.
Direct Rail Services (DRS) 66422 is seen on the rear of the 6Z68 1330 Long Marston to the Mid-Norfolk Railway, with Transpennine Express 68026 'Enterprise' leading.
DRS' 88010 'Aurora' and 68004 'Rapid' pass the along the sea wall at Saltcoats with 6M23 from Hunterston to Sellafield. This service is used to move nuclear material from the Hunterston nuclear power stations to Sellafield for processing.
Hunterston in North Ayrshire is home to 2 nuclear power stations - Hunterston A and Hunterston B.
Hunterston A operated between 1964 and 1990 and is in the process of being decommissioned by NDA licensee Magnox Ltd. The decommissioning process is planned to end in 2072 at which point the buildings will be demolished and site cleared.
Hunterston B - operated by EDF Energy - is still active having started operations in 1976. The station has managed to remain operational for longer than initially expected (decommissioning was due to start in 2011), but operations will cease within the next few months with the decommissioning process planned to start no later than the 7th of January 2022.
Within the last decade Hunterston B has gained media attention after it was discovered that the number of fractures in the reactors exceeded the operational limit specified in the safety case. The reactors were shut down while investigations were carried out and a revised safety case submitted to the regulator. Each of the 2 reactors were subsequently restarted in August 2020 and September 2020 respectively.
Direct Rail Services 66422 “Max Joule 1958 - 1999” heads the daily departmental tripper 6K05 12:31 Carlisle North Yard - Crewe Basford Hall along the picturesque Settle & Carlisle railway, seen between Selside and Horton in Ribblesdale, with a near uniform consist of Network Rail FEA wagons loaded with concrete sleepers.
January 2025.
Sitting literally at the end of the Valleyfield subdivision, 536 power is idling into the comfortable night, watching the daily parade of Toronto and Montréal-bound nighter who's rapidly rolling by the station, shaking it for a few minutes before fading into the night.
Those Searchlights will likely disappear by the end of the year, their substitute already sitting on the ground a few hundred feet at left, waiting their turns for assuming the next fifty years or so of directing train movements at this busy junction.

Direct Rail Services 66421 trundles through a frost-bitten Chellaston, working 6D95 Bescot Engineers Sidings to Toton North Yard. Freezing fog the previous night meant that hordes of frost was able to amass onto everything it could, creating a uniquely wintry atmosphere. 31/01/2019.
La Cité de Carcassonne est un ensemble architectural médiéval qui se trouve dans la ville française de Carcassonne dans le département de l'Aude, région du Languedoc-Roussillon. Elle est située sur la rive droite de l'Aude, au sud-est de la ville actuelle. Cette cité médiévale fortifiée, dont les origines remontent à la période gallo-romaine, doit sa renommée à sa double enceinte, atteignant près de 3 km de longueur1 et comportant cinquante-deux tours1, qui domine de manière spectaculaire la vallée de l'Aude. La Cité comprend également un château (le château comtal) et une basilique (la basilique Saint-Nazaire).
Sauvée de la destruction par l'action et la ténacité de l'archéologue Jean-Pierre Cros-Mayrevieille, puis restaurée au xixe siècle de manière parfois controversée sous la direction de Viollet-le-Duc puis de Boeswillwald, la Cité de Carcassonne est, depuis 19972, classée au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Le château comtal, les fortifications, et les tours appartiennent à l'État et sont gérés par le centre des monuments nationaux3, tandis que les lices4 et l reste de la Cité font partie du domaine municipal.
Het lag eigenlijk niet direct in onze bedoeling om hier lang te blijven staan, maar terwijl de reizigerstrein passeerde, zagen we in de verte al de volgende trein op het toneel verschijnen in de vorm van veelkleurige doosjes ;-)
Dat kon alleen maar een containertrein zijn en zo kwam vijf minuten later deze zwarte Dispolok met zijn kleurrijke trein voorbij onze lenzen.
Aangezien de veerbot net in Linz aangemeerd lag, besloot ik deze keer ook een stukje Rhein op de foto te zetten (dank Wouter voor tip!).
Bij deze locs is het wel zo dat je er bij doorkomst altijd het raden naar hebt voor welke firma die nu weer rijden. Na opzoekwerk blijkt deze verhuurd aan TXL. Is dit dan soms de NüMü shuttle? Anders hadden ze er wel één van hun kleurrijkere Vectrons mogen voorzetten ;-)
En ook na deze foto konden we hier niet weg. Er kondigde zich nog iets aan met hoofdkleur geel ;-) :-)

As one can see the trains showing up some 5 minutes before arriving at Dattenberg, we could already spot the next southbound train while taking our picture of the Regional Express.
It appeared to be a colorful one, with a rather boring locomotive in front, especially when we looked up on the internet by whom this Dispolok was rented: TXL. Couldn't they use one of our colorful Vectrons (or is this train the so called NüMü shuttle from the Netherlands to Bayern)?
Nevertheless a fine sight for which I choose to take a widener view showing also the ferry to Remagen at the docking station in Linz.

Entre de deux monde "la rivière"
Direction le Diois pour une Rivière et un Torrent .
Des températures plus froide et des débits plus conséquents.
Et le plaisir de joué avec les truites et les couleuvres vipérines.
Au final une journée bien remplie pas loin de trois heures a crapahuté dans l'eau
Eyes are organs of the visual system. They provide organisms vision, the ability to process visual detail, as well as enabling several photo response functions that are independent of vision. Eyes detect light and convert it into electro-chemical impulses in neurons. - Some eye have the power to stop time.
Alors que le soleil commence à décliner, silencieusement ils passèrent au dessus de moi. Juste le temps de déclencher et les voilà évaporés...

Photos prises le jeudi après-midi. J'espère que l'artiste aura pu terminer malgré la fermeture prématurée du Salon.
Samedi 7 février 2022, le soleil est présent en cette belle journée hivernale et un tour en Savoie pour les pointes d’hivers est effectué. C’est à la fin de la journée peut avant Landry que le Thalys 9986 Bourg St Maurice - Bruxelles passent sous nos objectifs, dans un sublimes décors alpins. Il est assuré en ce jour par les rames PBA 4535 et la rame PBKA 4332, elles sont misent en boîte quelques minutes après avoir quitté Bourg St Maurice.
Couldn’t help but take this photo (looking over a rock between us). Great Blue Heron just sitting at the edge of the bay.
The late 1980s threw up another of BRs quirky class 50 diagrams. For a while there was a scheduled Hoover working over the Portsmouth Direct line, 1P15, the 09:25 Waterloo - Portsmouth Harbour. From there the diagram took it on as 1V12 12:03 Portsmouth Harbour - Paignton
Although loco hauled services of any description were few and far between on the Portsmouth Direct line, few photos seem to come to light of this interesting working

After some considerable time and a couple of false starts I finally manage to phot' a TPE 68 on the 6K05 Carlisle - Crewe engineers' trunk service.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Alhambra (The Red One) is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Nasrid emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls with many beautiful, intricate details. It was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada. After the conclusion of the Christian Reconquista in 1492, the site became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella (where Christopher Columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered in the Renaissance style. In 1526 Charles I & V commissioned a new Renaissance palace better befitting the Holy Roman Emperor in the revolutionary Mannerist style influenced by humanist philosophy in direct juxtaposition with the Nasrid Andalusian architecture, but it was ultimately never completed due to Morisco rebellions in Granada.
