You know you're gonna be thinking of this oldy:
Nu dat de witte Albino van DB cargo in het digitale kastje zat, besloot ik te verhuizen. De volgende aangekondigde goederentrein wou ik maar al te graag langs de andere kant van het ICO-gebouw op foto zetten, aan het lange rechte stuk.
A propos ICO, dat staat voor International Car Operators. Hun website leert ons dat "ICO wereldwijd toonaangevend is in de behandeling en opslag van roll-on/roll-of cargo. Naast het laden en lossen van nieuwe wagens, constructiemateriaal en heavy lifts bieden we ook vehicle processing, scheepsagentuur en complete afhandeling van douaneverplichtingen alsook het volledige logistieke door to door pakket van fabriek tot levering bij de klant / dealer.
ICO is een 100% dochteronderneming van Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK), een van de belangrijkste transportbedrijven ter wereld. We zijn gevestigd in België, in het hart van de Europese automobielindustrie. Via onze terminals in de havens van Antwerpen en Zeebrugge behandelen we jaarlijks meer dan 2 miljoen wagens."
Niet verwonderlijk dus dat er tal van autotreinen naar de bundels van Pelikaan en Ramskapelle rijden. Na de beladen versie van DB Cargo met de JLR, kreeg ik nu een onbeladen autotrein achter de class 66 van HSL. Ik heb zelfs nog moeten lopen om op de juiste plek terecht te komen, ongelooflijk hoe snel die op de vorige volgde!
-----
Another car train to the siding of Zeebrugge Ramskapelle was this one from HSL, with a Beacon Class 66 in the older colour sheme in front.
This train followed very quickly after the the JLR train of DB Cargo, so quickly that I even had to run to get a decent setup for my photo. Yes, sport in the morning :-)

This is what happens when someone pushes the wrong button on an industrial oven to racks of plastic trays full of meat products. Instead of steam cooking the product, the operator selected roasting....at much higher temperature
I rather like these sleek Azuma units decorated in the LNER livery. And now, I can't get the song by Sade out of my head.

TUGBOATS, SEA IMP X towing SEA IMP III
I noticed the operators and deck hands preparing these two tugs to leave the dock. When they finally pulled away Sea IMP III connected to the back of SEA IM X.
My guess might be, they were saving fuel while traveling to their evening work destination,
Both tugs, if you look close, are connected by a tow line, and about to head down the Fraser River.
Mission Train Bridge
Mission
British Columbia, Canada
The Mission Railway Bridge is a Canadian Pacific Railway bridge spanning the Fraser River between Mission, and Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
Replacing an earlier bridge built in 1891, which was the first and only bridge crossing of the Fraser below Siska in the Fraser Canyon until the construction of the New Westminster rail bridge in 1904, it was constructed in 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Mission Railway Bridge is supported by 13 concrete piers and is approximately 533 metres in length. Before completion of the Mission highway bridge, highway traffic to and from Matsqui and Abbotsford with Mission used the bridge as a one-way alternating route, with traffic lights at either end to control direction. Rail traffic often held up car crossings, causing long and often very lengthy waits, which were a part of daily life in the Central Valley until the new bridge was completed.
Beneath the bridge's north abutment is an important river-level gauge monitored during the annual Fraser freshet. The bridge is also the location of the end of the Fraser's tidal bore - downstream from the bridge the river is increasingly influenced by tidal influences from the Georgia Strait.
Swing span
The Mission Railway Bridge has a swing span which has a vertical clearance of 4.9 metres above the water when closed. The swing span is fitted atop a circular concrete pier, the 10th from the north bank of the river. The 10th pier is protected from shipping traffic by two 46 metre wood piers extending upstream and downstream respectively perpendicular to the bridge which are tapered at both ends. The navigation channel past the bridge is 30 metres in width. At night a fixed white light is displayed on piers 9 and 11 as well as at the up-river and down-river ends of the protection pier.
The majority of marine traffic consists of log tows and gravel barges, which are permitted to use the navigation channel beneath the fixed span between piers 5 and 6. The swing span is used for wood chip barges and other vessels which cannot navigate beneath the span between piers 5 and 6.
CPR maintains a bridge tender 24 hours per day at an office on the north bank of the bridge. Vessels requesting passage through the swing span contact the bridge tender on marine VHF radio, whereby the tender walks the bridge to a control booth situated on the swing span.

I finally figured out what bothered me about the operators I've made in the past. No camo on helmets or vests. It just didn't flow without it. So I painted some helmets and vests, and here we are, something I can finally be satisfied with

In mid May I attended a workshop at Valle Verzasca in Switzerland. A weekend for photographing rocks and water.
Expect not much else for the next few days.
Cedar Waxwing, Bombycilla cedrorum. Lifer for me, during a Texas Master Naturalist Bird Hike. Really too small/distant for a good image, and probably the focus (if any) was elsewhere. Call it “painterly”. If I ever get a good shot, I’ll post that.
😃 Happy Sliders Sunday!
Bit of a foggy start to the day in London this morning. This shot was taken at 6.30 looking towards HMS Belfast, with Tower Bridge in the distance.
Having experimented for a few weeks with a neutral density setting on my phone, to try and make water look smooth, the Thames actually looked very smooth on this very still morning with just a 1/3 second exposure.

In 2016 Czech operator LEO Express ordered net EMU's. The interior of their FLIRT units were in dire need of a renovation and the operator was planning the expand operations to new services, stretching their excisting fleet even more. Eventually the acceptance tests of these new CRRC Sirius units took slightly longer (officially due to the covid-crisis) and by that time LEO Express was bought by Renfe. Renfe cancelled the order and the CRRC Sirius units were left without owner. In 2024 the other large private operator in Czechia, RegioJet, acquired the units. Gradually the units were put into service on the Ústí nad Labem - Kolín route. Since the summer of 2025 all 3 units were active.
As a passenger I got to say the units are okay-ish. Somehow they remind me of the danish IC4 units. They looked great as well, but on the inside you could see signs of a different quality. I've been a couple of times on unit 665 001 and I wasn't all they impressed with the quality of the ride and with the sturdiness of some interor parts. However from the outside I'd say they look amazing. The RegioJet livery onto LEO Express' dark colours really fit well. Even better then their normal bright yellow trains. During the summer of 2025 I managed to get unit 665 001 on photo as it made its way to Ústí nad Labem. The city has already been reached, but due to turning around in one of the stations, it would take another 15 minutes until it would reach it final destination.

Hard to forget
It's hard to go on
When you fall asleep
You're out on your own
Let go of your life
Grab on to my hand
Here in the clouds
And we'll understand
