After being attached to the train at Schwarzach St Veit, here we see Lokomotion / Rail Traction Group locomotive 189902 and 189931 (rear), which was already on the train head towards Bad Hofgastein and beyond on the afternoon of the 20/2/22 (10 minutes after taking this shot, the sun had been lost to the mountains).

Here we see CD locomotive 1216 237 on the rear of the 10:26 service from Graz to Berlin Hbf (RJ256) on the afternoon of the 7/11/21 which was captured passing through Kub, Austria. In light of this Railjet going to Berlin, I am unsure if the lok goes through too.

Echaba de menos volver a Cesantes, y qué mejor que con el TH Rías Gallegas ya sin sol en un cielo de postal. Para mayor sorpresa aparece la "Wonka" gobernando el convoy, un poco descolorida, pero agradable de disfrutar.

From the Summer 2016 archives - here we see SBB diesel locomotive 843 024 making the climb out of Esrtfeld towards Wassen and beyond on the 23/6/16.

After being tipped off about this locomotive working EC151, this location seemed the perfect spot, However, due to the time of year, the sun had NOT risen above the top of the forest, therefore had to make do with the station shot instead.

Here we see OBB locomotive 1144 040 passing through Wolfsbergkogel on the morning of the 7/11/21 with EC151 from Wien Hbf to Ljubljana.

A brand spot for lineside photography at the time of taking this image. This advantage point was viewed by train whilst travelling through the area, so I went and took a closer look to see if a shot would work here. For information, this is an afternoon shot and is a 20 minute walk from the local station.

Here we see Regiojet Skoda locomotive 162 120 working the 17:14 service from Kolin (CZ) to Usti Nad Labem hl.n on the evening of the 1/9/24. The train was captured passing through Libice Nad Cidlinou in the Czech Republic.

Only the 2nd time of trying this spot, which is located between St Polten and Prinztersdorf. Here we see Wiener Lokalbahen Cargo Traxx locomotive 187323 pass through Witzendorf with a colourful loaded intermodal heading towards Amstetton from the St Polten direction on the afternoon of the 4/11/21.

Despite the autumn shadows caused by the low lying sun, the shadows appear less intrusive than first thought....!.

This shot did not quite go to plan due to the early arrival of a Edinburgh to Euston service which went into platform 1 just as 4S48 passed through :-(

Anyway, not my typical kind of railway shot, but here we see Freightliner locomotives 90007 (front) and 90042 (rear) pass through Stafford on the Down Fast as booked with a well loaded 4S48 from Daventry to Mossend on the evening of the 17/4/25.

For information, at the time of taking this shot, 4S48 had goneover to electric traction in the form of class 90s instead of the usual diesel traction :-)

Here we see RhB locomotive 603 on the dull morning of the 23/2/20 waiting to work the 08:50 service from St Moritz to Landquart (RE1326), which I travelled on to Zernez.

Riding this locomotive was not part of the original plan for the day, but I saw the engine at Samedan on the empty coaching stock to St Moritz, so I caught up with it after doing an emergency leap at Pontresina instead of riding the DC Kroc to Ospizio.

A mixed-traffic locomotive designed by Sir William Stanier in 1934 ‘Black 5’s, as they were known by enthusiasts, totalled 842 by the time the last was built in 1951. Numbered 5212 by the LMS our engine was produced by Armstrong Whitworth at their works in Newcastle in 1935 and gained the British Railways number 45212 after nationalisation. The engine started life in Bradford and was withdrawn from Lostock Hall (Preston) in 1968 but not before having the distinction of heading the final steam-hauled revenue-earning service for British Railways on 4th August 1968.

York Station, North Yorkshire, England

It is true that the best camera you have is the one you have on you. Although I carry my Ricoh GRIII with me all the times a daily camera, often it is easy to get a photo with the camera on your phone and this was one.

I didn't have long to take it before the platform become busy or I lost the long light trails from the sun, timing was just right.

The light trails is my favourite part of the photo, often at certain times of the day or even year depending how low the sun is, it can shine perfectly at either end of the Station shed. When it shines through the glass and gaps it creates these lines which make for an interesting photo.

Hope you are having a great week so far!

Here we see preserved crocodile locomotive 1020.018 at a special photostop near Pfaffenschwendt, Austria on the afternoon of the 12/8/17 whilst enroute to Zell am See.

A bit after sunrise on the sunny morning of Monday, September 4, 2023 - Labor Day - westbound manifest train H-KCKBAR3-03 cruises alongside state highway 15 as it approaches the town of Shattuck, OK.

Canberra Rail Museum's mighty restored Beyer-Garratt is seen sweeping under the old highway bridge at North Goulburn NSW just a couple of kilometres from completing the last shuttle trip of the day in Goulburn.

It was a brilliant weekend of steam nostalgia, enjoyed by photographers and train riders alike. All trains were heavily patronised, a deserving result for the Museum operators and the train crews.

SBB Cargo Re482 loco no.482 013 runs light engine through the middle section of Wassen on the Gotthard route heading north towards Erstfeld during the afternoon of the 22/8/15

A brand new spot for lineside photography, which was a trial shot to see if one would work at this location.

Here we see RhB Ge4/4 1 locomotive 605 with the booked heritage stock including the open wagon working the 15:18 service from Davos Platz to Filisur on the hot afternoon of the 20/7/24. It was touch and go if this train would be in the sun following a day of sunny intervals and lots of clouds. The historic train was captured on the outskirts of Filisur.

* For information, the heritage trains are usually performed by the Crocodile locomotives 414 or 415, but these two engines are out of action currently on maintenance.
