Sprinters, herkenbaar aan het wit, blauw en gele uiterlijk, worden ingezet voor korte afstanden. De nieuwe generatie die bij Siemens wordt gebouwd, is herkenbaar aan een opstap die gelijkvloers is met het perron.
Opvallend zijn glazen wanden tussen de compartimenten en de machinistencabine, waardoor je dwars door de hele trein kunt kijken. Bijzonderheid is dat deze Sprinters bij het remmen stroom terugleveren aan de bovenleiding, waar andere treinen weer mee gevoed kunnen worden. De NS heeft bijna 100 van deze metro-achtige treinen besteld. In totaal steekt NS de komende jaren 647 miljoen euro in nieuwe Sprinters, goed voor 37.000 zit- en staanplaatsen.
Edit:
Tijdens de winter van 2010-2011 treden er grote problemen op met deze treinen. Van de 95 afgeleverde treinstellen rijden er eind december 2010 nog maar een stuk of zeven rond. De rest staat stil. 67 bezweken er onder de sneeuw, de overige treinen staan achter defecte treinen en kunnen dus niet weg. Het probleem wordt waarschijnlijk veroorzaakt door een omvormer die onder de trein zit en niet zoals bij andere treinen op het dak. Die omvormer zuigt de sneeuw aan die tussen de rails ligt.

RhB diesel shunter prepares to do some evening shunting at Davos Platz in Switzerland on the 5/2/15. The loco attached the single carriage to another set of stock out of sight of this picture.
CFCLA's freightliner liveried CF class locos are seen approaching and arriving at Goulburn NSW. It is believed they may now be off hire to Freightliner and possibly to be repainted back to CFCLA colours.

Bursting onto the scene from Kennaway Tunnel is preserved Great Western Railway Castle Class number 5043 'Earl of Mount Edgcumbe', working the second half of the northbound 1Z48 railtour back to Tyseley via Oxford, the first half being hauled half an hour earlier by preserved Class 52 Western D1015 'Western Champion', which would proceed up the Lickey Incline.
On one of my first days in Namibia, as I was driving through the desert I saw this train approaching. As you don't really see a whole lot of vehicles in general, I pulled over and quickly grabbed my camera off the passenger seat and started shooting. The conductor gave me a friendly wave.
St Pancras Railway Station
Another photo from this awesome station, I really like this place and always thought about doing a panoramic photo of this station, I really hope this image does this station justice. You may notice the Olympic Rings, these were put up only back in March to mark the run-up to the Olympic games here in London next year. Apparently each ring is 20m wide and all of them weigh approx 2300kg!! So remember, its only 435 days to go to London 2012.
This photo was achieved by using two images and firstly importing them into a program called PTLens which fixes the lens distortion. I then used Photoshop Elements 9 to stitch them together and then reimported into Lightroom 3 for a bit of post processing.

Information
St Pancras railway station, also known as London St Pancras and since 2007 as St Pancras International is a central London railway terminus celebrated for its Victorian architecture. The Grade I listed building stands on Euston Road in St Pancras, London, between the British Library, King's Cross station and the Regent's Canal. It was opened in 1868 by the Midland Railway as the southern terminus of that company's Midland Main Line, which connected London with the East Midlands and Yorkshire. When it opened, the arched Barlow train shed was the largest single-span roof in the world.
After escaping planned demolition in the 1960s, the complex was renovated and expanded during the 2000s at a cost of £800 million with a ceremony attended by the Queen and extensive publicity introducing it as a public space. A security-sealed terminal area was constructed for Eurostar services to Continental Europe—via High Speed 1 and the Channel Tunnel—along with platforms for domestic connections to the north and south-east of England. The restored station houses fifteen platforms, a shopping centre and a bus station, in addition to London Underground services from King's Cross St Pancras tube station. St Pancras is owned by London and Continental Railways along with the adjacent urban regeneration area known as King's Cross Central. The redeveloped terminus has been described as "the world's most wonderful railway station".

“This 153-foot-high movable tower is a combination assembly-checkout-launching stand for Titan III missiles at Cape Kennedy. Pushed by two diesel locomotives, it carries the booster rocket around the launching area from start of assembly to firing.”
Launch Complex 40 is visible through the haze, on the horizon.

Seen here through Werrington in Sydney's outer western suburbs tonight.
Tonight was my first crack at night train photography. How did I do? I think they're a bit ordinary but not too bad.
On what is rumoured to be the final working of ex-Victorian C class locomotives in NSW, C509-C507-C506 combine to lead the "Stapo" train from Sandgate to Botany in Sydney. These locos are due to replaced by the two new Crawford's PHC class locomotives.

A local engineman watches the empty ore train roll past, checking for sticking brakes, flat spots on wheels, or anything else that may cause problems enroute.
This is an industry-wide action today as trains depart their originating railyards.

RhB Ge6/6 freight loco arrives at Domat/ems with the 08:21 service to Chur, which conveys freight wagons on the train. On the day in question, the previous service to Chur was cancelled, so there were more people on the platform, which was not ideal. This train was booked a freight loco at the time.
