The CHURCHGATE RAILWAY STATION is one of the busiest stations in the city. Train run every minute with clockwork precision. Millions of city dwellers residing in the suburbs alight at this station to get to their offices in the business districts of south Mumbai. An average of 7.5 millions passengers travel per day in the city .. Churchgate is the 5th busiest station in Mumbai.
All what is left of the former Kettle Valley Railway track at Chute Lake are the crossing signs. The track itself has been converted to a long-distance bike trail.
Here we have 3 trains:
- An S-Bahn just leaving the station Hirschgarten.
- A regional express approaching München Hauptbahnhof.
- And another regional express is just visible mirrored in the glass facade of the Bahnbetriebswerk München Hbf, also known as ICE-Betriebswerk München, which is a maintenance facility for complete ICE high speed trains.

Known locally as "Whalley Arches", Whalley Viaduct is a 48 span railway bridge crossing the River Calder and a listed structure.
It was built between 1846 and 1850 under the engineering supervision of Terrence Wolfe Flanagan and formed part of the Bolton, Blackburn, Clitheroe and West Yorkshire Railway. It is a red brick arch structure and the longest and largest railway viaduct in Lancashire.[4] It carries the railway, now known as the Ribble Valley Line, 21.3m over the river for 620m.

Over 7 million bricks and 12,338 cubic metres of stone were used in construction. 3,000m of timber were used for the arch centring, temporary platforms and the permanent foundation piles. During construction on 6 October 1849, two of the 41 arches then completed collapsed, with the loss of three lives.
The east side of the bridge, nearest the remains of the Abbey, has the only decorative treatment
Alishan Forest Railway is an 86 km network of 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge railways running up to and throughout the popular mountain resort of Alishan in Chiayi County, Taiwan. The railway, originally constructed for logging, has become a tourist attraction with its unique Z-shaped switchbacks, and over 50 tunnels and 77 wooden bridges. Taiwan's Ministry of Culture has listed the forest railway as a potential World Heritage Site.

The Meridian Southern Railway’s road train slowly rolls through the countryside just south of Quitman, MS, as they make the trek south to Waynesboro, MS. The train is powered by a matching pair of former Santa Fe GE B23-7s, with nine grain hoppers and six empty center beams in tow. MDS 4228 was built for Santa Fe Railway in 1979 as ATSF 6371, and MDS 4270 in 1985 as ATSF 6413. Both units would be renumbered by BNSF to their current numbers after the merger. The pair found themselves in shortline service around 2007ish, first on the Nashville & Eastern, then the Meridian Southern since around 2015ish to present. There are very few places left where one can find such relics still in operation and in such good condition, definitely making the MDS a gold mine for a railfan.
An empty hopper train heads for the Savage Coal loadout on the CV Spur east of Price, Utah. At this point in time, Utah Railway was running coal to Provo on M-W-F schedule and also a few tank trains a month over Soldier Summit. The coal contract was lost to Union Pacific less than two years later and the oil and other freight traffic dried up. The re-engined MK5000Cs have since shipped off to the Kyle Railway and some of the SD50S models were shipped off to the Indiana & Ohio.
Captured on the binary of the ancient railway that lead to cala moresca.
The beach of Cala Moresca is one of the most evocative and characteristic on the eastern coast of Sardinia.
Its waters are of a changing blue due to the plays of light created by the sun reflecting off the sea bed of stones, crowned by typical Mediterranean brush vegetation.
Its name is connected with the Saracen pirate incursions (‘morus’) that for many years plagued this stretch of coast, often plundering men and belongings.
