Como la semana pasada, ayer de nuevo nos acercamos a Vicalvaro. Por desgracia todas las circulaciones que vimos el lunes pasado ayer se evaporaron, pero por suerte los traficos que no pasaron hace una semana pasaron ayer. Uno de los mercantes de ayer fue este papelero (Vicalvaro - Villaverde) de Comsa con la 253.103 en cabeza. Tenia muchas ganas de cazarle ya que es muy esquivo y mas de una semana me he tenido que ir a casa sin el. 13/02/12.
Here we see SBB Re460 loco no.460052 powering IC818 from Romanshorn to Brig on the cold winter's afternoon of the 9/1/17
The official opening of the Mudgee line in September 1884 was the culmination of over twenty years effort on the part of the Mudgee community to secure a rail line to Mudgee and surrounding districts. Agitation for a railway service to the Mudgee district was led by a committee of local residents which was formed in 1870 and later became the Mudgee Railway League (Sheedy, 1988).A line from Bathurst to Mudgee and Walgett was proposed in 1873 but never constructed, with a later survey (in 1876) confirming the eventual route via Wallerawang and Capertee. By 1879 the NSW Government confirmed that the line to Mudgee would be built and on 15 May 1882 the line opened as far as Capertee. In the same year a contract was awarded for construction of the remaining section of the line from Capertee to Mudgee. The single track line from Rylstone to Mudgee opened on 10 September 1884 (Sheedy, 1988; Cottee, 2004).Ben Bullen railway station opened on 15 May 1882, approximately two years after extension of a new line had commenced between Wallerawang and Capertee Camp. After Ben Bullen, the line extended to Capertee (1882), Rylstone (1884), Mudgee (1884), Gulgong (1909), Dunedoo (1910), Merrygoen (1917), Binnaway (1917) and finally Gwabegar in 1923 (SRA, 1993).Passenger services to Ben Bullen closed on 1 June 1974. Limited freight services still use the line as far as Kandos but the station building and platform are no longer used and remain vacant.References:David Sheedy Pty.

Knee deep in snow again, here we see RhB Ge4/4ii locomotive 633 working an afternoon empty stock movement from Preda to Bergün/Bravuogn on the 21/2/25 before returning to Preda with a trainload of tobogganists at 13:47.
Unfortunately, I slightly misjudged the shutter button for this shot - had planned to get it between the two stanchions and the height of the drone (oh well - lessons learnt for next time).
After changing trains at Wien HBF on the afternoon of the 14/8/17, I popped outside the station for 10mins while waiting for my onward train to Slovakia. Vehicle 632 was captured arriving into the underground section of Wien HBF on line D.

In heavy snow, OBB loco 1144 067 terminates in the bay platform at Worgl station with the 15:08 REX service from Salzburg. The driver was kind enough to leave headlights on to capture this moment once all the passengers had gone. Challenging conditions, but great fun.

Thames Tunnel, London, England
Back to the Thames Tunnel again and a slightly different processing of this stunner of a tunnel.
Again showing the drop in the track. What I really like in the photo is the swirling on the track head caused by the light bouncing off it. This is caused but the train wheels as it passes over the track head.
Really wish I could have used a tripod down here to try and get a sharper image but can fully understand why they didn't allow them.

Location Information
The Thames Tunnel is an underwater tunnel, built beneath the River Thames in London, connecting Rotherhithe and Wapping. It measures 35 feet (11 m) wide by 20 feet (6 m) high and is 1,300 feet (396 m) long, running at a depth of 75 feet (23 m) below the river surface measured at high tide. It was the first tunnel known to have been constructed successfully underneath a navigable river,[1] and was built between 1825 and 1843 using Thomas Cochrane and Marc Isambard Brunel's newly invented tunnelling shield technology, by him and his son Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
The tunnel was originally designed for, but never used by, horse-drawn carriages. It now forms part of the London Overground railway network.
The original ROCKET designed and built by Robert Stephenson and Company for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1829. Previously on display at the Science Museum it has been displayed at The National Railway Museum, York since 2018.

With storm clouds developing, here we see ZSSK Skoda locomotive 361 125 working the 12:08 service from Puchov to Praha-Vrsovice (EC126) on the hot stormy afternoon of the 29/8/24. The train was captured passing through Štěpánov, Czech Republic.
* For information, at the time of posting, this train is now booked a Vectron like many other loco-hauled services in the Czech Republic. The Siemens Vectron is making railway photography across Europe increasingly boring, both for passenger and freight and the Czech Republic is leading this negative revolution:-(

Still wearing the QRNational logos on the Downer lease livery, LDP002 leads 7BM7 into Goulburn. It is rare to see triple blue units on this train, the mid unit being a CFCLA lease unit. This is the last week that Aurizon will haul the SCT loading, as SCT commence their own train next weekend.
SBB ICN Pendolino 500 041 "William Barbey" heads south through Wassen on the Gotthard route on the afternoon of the 22/8/15 with a UID service

A brand new spot for lineside photography at the time of taking this image. Here we see steam engine no.2807 running tender first with the 14:13 freight service from Cheltenham Racecourse to Broadway (7B50) on the afternoon of the 26/10/24. The train was captured passing though Gretton near Winchcombe in Gloucestershire.
This was a trial shot to see how it would turn out at this low elevation. Here we see OBB Taurus locomotive 1116 147 working what I believe to have been an empty stock movement in the direction of Worgl on the morning of the 8/2/25 as there was nothing else due to pass.
The train was captured passing through Oberndorf.
DRS class 57 no.57311 waits to depart from Crewe station on the evening of the 11/5/16 with Virgin trains 390152 DIT. The class 57 dragged the Pendolino to Wembley as 5A39.
A nice surprise this morning with the addition of SSR's G511, leading the two regular QBX locos on QUBE's 1311 Harefield empty paper train.

Here we see CD Skoda locomotive 242 209 working what I believe to have been the 12:59 service from Tisnov to Hustopece u Brna (Os4643) on the bitterly cold afternoon of the 25/2/22. The train was captured on the outskirts of Kurim.
Seen here at Goulburn Rail Heritage Centre.
I have been advised loco is now privately owned and, far from being scrapped, is pending reactivation.
The CL class is a class of diesel locomotives built by Clyde Engineering, Granville for the Commonwealth Railways in several batches between 1970 and 1972. The class was the last in the world to be built with the Electro-Motive Diesel bulldog nose but differed from previous builds in having a mansard roof.

Artistic shot of the daily working of the Salzburger Lokalbahn intermodal train. Here we see 1216 940 heading towards Salzburg on the afternoon of the 12/7/18.
***Welcome back to traffic 90039 from storage***
Here is a record shot of Freightliner locomotives 90039 (front) and 90010 (rear) with 4M25 from Grangemouth to Daventry on the stormy afternoon of the 1/9/25. This intermodal service was an extra working vice 4M30 due to planned engineering work the previous day.
*For information, 90039 use to be owned by DB Cargo, but transferred to Freightliner in July 2025 and entered traffic with the FOC in August 2025. The loco retains her Backbone livery albeit with Freightliner logo for now*
On the sunny afternoon of the 25/3/17, Greater Anglia class 90 no.90008 arrives into Diss with the 14:30 service from Norwich to Colchester (1P45)
Yesterday's Aurizon BM7 service limps into Goulburn NSW with a failed 6027 in the lashup, just 21 hours late- already. Desperate late rays of sunlight barely bathe the train in colour. This is the first time that I have seen the SCT boxcars on the train in the Goulburn area (It is usually dark when both north and southbound services pass through town)
Here we see RegioJet Skoda locomotive 162117 working RJ1009 from Praha hl.n to Havirov on the afternoon of the 9/9/23. The train was captured passing through Parnik in Ceska Trebova, Czech Republic.
