Here we see MAV H-Start diesel locomotive 478 205 waiting to depart from Zirc with the 18:18 regional service to Györ. As you can see the loco is hauling two non-motored cart vehicles, which remind me of the former pacers of the UK albeit with more comfortable seating arrangements.
Due to planned engineering work between Zirc and Veszprem, the regional trains started and terminated at Zirc on the day in question. I happened to drop onto this train after visiting another railway route in the area. I did this train all the way to Györ, which was an interesting slow journey with jointed track in a number of places.

Bearing down a storm of power on Teignmouth station is preserved Class 52 Western number D1015 'Western Champion', working the 1Z48 tour from Solihull to Plymouth via Oxford.
The Class 52 was once the power of the primary expresses on the South Devon Mainline, finding their place most notably in railway memory for killing off the mighty and prestigious Great Western Railway King and Castle Class locomotives, but are also fondly remembered for hauling the Cornish and Devon summer trains from London to Penzance, Plymouth and Paignton. However, their non-standard Diesel Hydraulic nature was to be both the downfall of these classic machines and their other hydraulic cousins the Class 35 Hymeks and Class 42 Warships, and by 1977 all of these locomotives had been withdrawn after less than 20 years of service, their workings augmented by the arrival of Class 50's from the West Coast Mainline, and the newly constructed Class 43 HST sets.

* 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 3 82's had been sent from Willow Tree from their banking duties to clear entrance and exit roads following derailment of the fifth wagon of Qube's empty box coal. Derailed wagons were effectively blocking the Main North and North West lines in both directions.

A brand new spot for lineside photography at the time of taking this image. Here we see OBB locomotive 1144 070 propelling a UID Cityshuttle set towards Fieberbrunn and beyond on the morning of the 15/2/25.
At the time this train passed, there were no booked passenger trains due, so can only assume this was an empty stock movement because I saw the same set a few hours earlier going in the opposite direction.
The train was captured passing through Oberndorf, Austria.
