Tra un merci e l'altro sulla Lavanttalbahn, c'è scappato anche un tramonto ad un pesante Inno Freight sulla vicina Fohnsdorferbahn, lineetta sottovalutata dai fotografi che però offre alcuni spunti fotografici niente male.
Freight on the Highland Main Line to and from Inverness is spartan but the daily Tesco intermodal (Mondays – Saturdays) is a guaranteed working. In this scene, Class 66 No. 66421, works the 4D47 Tesco containers from Inverness to Mossend, seen north of Dalwhinnie.

First we had ST43-347 coming with sugarbeet train to Raciąż station, and now it goes back with unloaded train (not the same wagons, of course, the sets were exchanged in Raciąż). The train is now leaving Sierpc station and going towards Toruń. October 9, 2005.

Najpierw ST43-347 przywiózł buraki do Cukrowni Glinojeck, a następnie zapiął się na próżne wagony po wyładunku wcześniejszej partii buraków cukrowych i wraca w kierunku Torunia. Właśnie wyjeżdża z węzła Sierpc. Torunia. 9 października 2005 roku.

SU46-017 with a freight train from Horka on the German side is approaching Węgliniec. May 20, 2006, in the middle of modernization of the line no. 295, including electrification of this to date unelectrified line. Track no. 1 is temporary removed so all the traffic uses track no. 2. is moving along track No. 2, over which the catenary is already installed.
The works were completed afterwards and... it turned out that this electrification wasn't specially necessary at that moment, because the Germans (DB Netz) made their part about a decade later. So, in the meantime, the catenary on the Polish side was removed for couple of years and re-mounting was done together with the works on German side.
The most interoperable border crossing in Poland ever was opened. The change of the power and safety systems takes place near exactly at the border point over Nysa Łużycka river. To cover the Węgliniec - Horka section, the operator must have a multi-system locomotive and either a internationally certified driver or just two drivers - each one for every country. Comparing to the classic crossings, where the change of the locomotive meant the change of power/ safety system at one of the border stations, this way is something new and it looks like in the future such crossings will be more common. Today, only multisystem locomotives can be spotted at this crossing, like Vectrons, Eurosprinters and Traxxs, and occasionally diesel Class66 and BR232 - the latter have easier as only safety system switching must be done while crossing the border.
SU46 class locomotives in Węgliniec depot began to disappear, mainly due to the fact of not sending them for overhaul. Currently, the Dolnośląski division of PKP Cargo has one working locomotive of this class.

SU46-017 z pociągiem towarowym z niemieckiej Horki zbliża się do Węglińca. 20 maja 2006 roku, środek prac modernizacyjnych na linii nr 295, których efektem ma być kompleksowa modernizacja oraz elektryfikacja. Tor nr 1 jest na tym odcinku zdemontowany i wkrótce zostanie położony nowy, a ruch odbywa się torem nr 2, nad którym już wisi sieć trakcyjna.
Prace zostały zakończone i... okazało się, że można sobie tę elektryfikację wsadzić, bowiem Niemcy (DB Netz) do swojej części przystąpili dopiero około dekady później. W międzyczasie zdjęto sieć trakcyjną na polskim odcinku, by ją powtórnie położyć równolegle z niemieckimi przyjaciółmi.
Powstało najbardziej interoperacyjne przejście graniczne w Polsce, na którym zmiana systemu zasilania oraz krajowych systemów bezpieczeństwa dokonuje się niemal przy słupku granicznym na Nysie Łużyckiej. Chcąc pokonać odcinek Węgliniec - Horka, przewoźnik musi posiadać wielosystemową lokomotywę oraz albo dwusieciowego maszynistę, albo dwóch maszynistów - do każdego odcinka granicznego oddzielnego człowieka. Przyznam, że w porównaniu z klasycznymi przejściami, gdzie zmiana systemu odbywała się na stacji granicznej, jest to bardziej wymagające rozwiązanie, chociaż mimo tego przejście jest chętnie wykorzystywane przez przewoźników. Dzisiaj pojazdami trakcyjnymi na tym przejściu są wielosystemowe Vectrony, Eurosprintery i Traxxy, oraz sporadycznie spalinowe Class66.
Również w międzyczasie seria SU46 w Węglińcu zaczęła stopniowo zanikać, głownie z okazji niekierowania lokomotyw na naprawy rewizyjne (w międzyczasie nazwane przeglądami poziomu 4), ani tym bardziej na główne (poziom 5). Aktualnie Zakład Dolnośląski spółki PKP Cargo posiada jedną czynną lokomotywę tej serii.

300 mm doesn't sound much but if you're shooting medium format you end up with four pounds (or 2 Kilos) of glass on your camera.
In this case it was a Meyer-Görlitz 4/300 custom-fitted for Mamiya. Wide open the DOF was shallow as a beer coaster. You'd better knew where to release.
One fine afternoon in summer 1997 I set up the gear at the Muggensturm station in the upper Rhine valley. I lived in the hills (beyond the ridge) in the background at that time but it was the first time I went to Muggensturm to shoot a few trains. Traffic is dense and runs like clockwork.
The milestone was my release point so I didn't need to look through the viewfinder, everything should be fine.
In the low afternoon sun 155 264 had a freight to Offenburg in tow with a high load right behind the locomotive.
Yes, sometimes I miss the old gear. But I don't miss film (and dust).

There really is no better place to capture photos of passing cars than this spot so here's a simple image for today's Freight Car Friday of some boxcars entrained on CSXT M436 (Selkirk to Worcester manifest) crossing the twin stone arch bridge over the Quaboag River at about MP 75.5 on modern day CSXT's Boston Subdivision. While I miss the classic Plate C 50 ft boxcars dressed in assorted railroad schemes that were so prevalent the last four decades it's nice to see that the all American boxcar is still alive. Nowadays the prevalent car type is 60 ft Plate F 286K cars like this string of double plug door TTX owned cars. TBOX 676209 is only a few years old having beenbuilt by FreightCar America as part of thousand car order number 140090 between Apr-Dec 2021.
The ancient twin stone arch bridge dates from the line's construction in 1839 as the Western Railroad, that when completed in 1842 formed the longest and most expensive railroad constructed in the United States up to that point. The Western merged with two other predecessors to form the Boston and Albany Railroad in 1870. Thirty years later the B&A was leased by the New York Central Railroad, and then the line would pass successively to the Penn Central in 1968, Conrail in 1976 and CSXT in 1999. To this day it remains as the preeminent freight route and the only Class 1 trunk line still serving New England...truly a testament to the forethought of those who laid out and built the line over 180 years ago.
