Out in service. Only half the light bulbs were fitted inside as the mileage was so low the batteries rarely reached full charge.
The current programme includes upgrading all green RFs with handrails as shown with newly overhauled RF40, 576 and 624 at Aldenham. Inside can be glimpsed 953B which has just had its canopy modified to hold the tubular bus shelter, and RM19 that is destined to replicate the Routemaster trials of the summer of 1959 but never replace a single trolleybus!

The business end of one of the photo-reconnaissance Phantoms of the 62nd TRS from Shaw AFB, South Carolina photographed in June 1982 during a deployment to RAF Alconbury. I'm curious about the note written on the armament panel below the 363rd Tactical Fighter Wing badge, which I think reads "CARG INSTALLED".

Mijn kleine fotoserie over de mechanische seinen rond Rheinkamp, Rheinberg en Millingen zou natuurlijk niet compleet zijn zonder ook wat foto's van een van de seinhuizen.
Stellwerk Mo in Millingen Gbf mocht ik helaas niet bezoeken, maar in Stellwerk Rf in Rheinberg was ik welkom.
Hier zien we het hart van het seinhuis, welke uit twee delen bestaat:
Op de voorgrond zien we de hendels waarmee de wissels (blauw) en seinen (rood) bediend worden.
Op de achtergrond staat de blokkast, die feitelijk de beveiliging vormt. Via deze kast communiceren de seinhuizen met elkaar en kunnen rijwegen worden ingelegd en vergrendeld.
Rheinberg is op zich een interessant station. Het is niet groot maar kent een vertakking naar NIAG's eigen spoorlijn naar de haven van Orsoy als ook naar een industriële aansluiting (afvalverwerker Asdonkshof).
De eigen NIAG lijnt wordt overigens niet veel bereden. Toen ik er was was de lijn bovendien gesloten wegens werkzaamheden. Normaal passeert zo werd mij verteld vaak de losse NIAG lok over de eigen lijn, welke lok rond het middaguur in Millingen Gbf de NIAG sodatrein naar Düsseldorf Reisholz gaat ophalen.
Voor het overige is het vooral veel doorgaand treinverkeer wat Rheinberg passeert. De treindienstleider zat dat ook liever op het Stellwerk Rf in Rheinkamp waar men veel meer werk heeft...
Een paar detailfoto's volgen nog.

In the last couple of weeks of RF operation with London Transport, RF 381 is seen pausing for custom on Esher Road in Hersham in February 1979.
LT's last RFs operated on routes 218 and 219 the following month and RF 381 survived until the final day when the remainig examples were all withdrawn
After a few months in store at the former Clapham garage and at London's Victoria docks RF 381 was sold and luckily still survives in preservation under the ownership of the Birmingham & Midlands Motor Omnibus Trust.
Greenham Common, 23 July 1983.
An RF-4E of Aufklärungs Geschwader 51 (Bremgarten) is the first (or last) in a long line-up of Phantoms. 27 (RAF, US and German) were on static for the 25th anniversary of the type.
35+58 went to the Turkish Air Force as 69-7505. It's now preserved on the (reserve?) air base of Afyon, in the middle of Turkey.
Mijn kleine fotoserie over de mechanische seinen rond Rheinkamp, Rheinberg en Millingen zou natuurlijk niet compleet zijn zonder ook wat foto's van een van de seinhuizen.
Op deze foto zien we het seinhuis Rf, welke aan de zuidelijke zijde van station Rheinberg staat.

Het spoorverkeer in bundel Groenland leeft weer op. De voorbije maanden lag de bundel er eerder doods bij. Maar daar komt in de volgende maanden zeker verandering in. Antwerp Rail Feeding geeft alvast het goede voorbeeld. Hun eerste dienst in België is te zien in bundel Groenland. De havenfaciliteiten rondom Groenland worden momenteel volledig omgebouwd. Zichtbaar achter de loc zijn nieuwe tanks welke gebouwd worden voor rekening van Noordnatie tankterminal. Iets meer naar het oosten is ABT volop bezig met de aanleg van een nieuwe terminal voor ertsoverslag. Binnen enkele maanden zullen de zinkertstreinen voor Balen en Budel er beladen worden. De loodertstreinen voor Stolberg zullen eveneens verhuizen van bundel Lillo naar Groenland. Nog even geduld en Groenland komt weer volop tot leven.
