RhB Ge4/4 loco 643 pauses at Filisur on the evening of the 4/2/15 with the 17:58 from Chur to St Moritz. The lighting at the platform end of the station makes the loco look a creamy colour when in actual fact it is "white"

OBB loks 1144 075 & 1116 116 pass through the valley of Kirchberg in Tirol (Austria) on the afternoon of the 31/1/15 with a mixed freight working to Worgl. Interestingly this freight train had the additional bonus of banker loco in the form of 1144 270 - believe it is quite unusual to see a banker lok in these parts?
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.
QRN's empty grain train approaches Goulburn behind 3122. Now coded LQ3122, she still wears her former Northern Rivers Railroad livery, making a nice change in leading loco colours on this train.

GM 218 passes through Kilbarry with the 1200hrs InterCity service from Dublin Heuston to Cork, nearing the end of its 165 mile journey.
...the photograph is a result of an Aprils Fool joke: I was sent a text message informing me that the 1200 Cork was 206 in the new Enterprise livery...

Qube's empty wheat train from Maldon to Goulburn is seen arriving at Goulburn, prior to stabling and refuelling. Qube are reportedly going to lose this contract from the end of the month to another operator, so nice to get the 1100s on this job.

Seen here at Railway Museum of Western Australia, Bassendean, Perth.
With the establishment of the railway to Kalgoorlie, following the discovery of gold, it was decided to build a railway wagon for the express purpose of transporting the bullion to the Mint in Perth. In 1898 wagon VY 4999 - Bullion Van - was built. Its construction was considered to be a technological breakthrough at that time, being the only van to have a high 6 feet (183 cm) radius roof rather than the much flatter 12 feet (366 cm) radius roof.
In 1908 it was fitted out by the WAGR to house a large walk-in safe measuring 13 feet 6 inches (411 cm) by 3 feet (91 cm) wide. The van itself was 30 feet (914 cm) long and, in addition to the safe, contained two sleeping berths at one end and a toilet at the other.
The escorts were locked in the van at Kalgoorlie, with the bullion being secured in the safe. The van was unlocked at the Perth end by a key-holder from the Mint. This duty was not a very pleasant one, especially when the train would stop at the various Railway Refreshment Rooms en-route, with the public enjoying refreshments and a break from the journey, whilst the escorts were confined in the Bullion Van.
When wagon VY 4999 ended its life as the Bullion Van in 1948, it was converted to a workmen's unit. It was taken out of service in 1991. Later the Special Air Service Regiment used the former Bullion Van for counter-terrorist training and, in 1997, the van received some red livery for its role in the Barron Productions film "The Gift".
Today wagon VY 4999 is in the hands of the Railway Historical Society who have it stored in the old Midland Workshops, awaiting possible restoration to its former state as the Bullion Van.
In April 1926, Inspector John Walsh and Sergeant Harry Pitman of the Gold Stealing Detection Squad in Kalgoorlie were murdered whilst inquiring into the theft of gold and their bodies were dumped down a mineshaft in the bush south of Boulder. Following the recovery of the remains of the two murdered policemen, they were transported to Perth in the Bullion Van and, on 17th May, they were buried at Karrakatta Cemetery after a procession through Perth, where thousands lined the streets to honour the men. At Karrakatta the hearses were escorted to their burial places by a large contingent of police officers.

The National Railway Museum, York, North Yorkshire.
The National Railway Museum in York displays a collection of over 100 locomotives and nearly 300 other items of rolling stock, virtually all of which either ran on the railways of Great Britain or were built there. Also on the 20 acres (8.1 ha) site are many hundreds of thousands of other items and records of social, technical, artistic and historical interest, exhibited mostly in three large halls of a former motive power depot next to the East Coast Main Line, near York railway station. It is the largest museum of its type in Britain. It also has more visitors than any other British museum outside London, attracting more than 717,000 visitors in the financial year 2011–2012.
The National Railway Museum was established on its present site, the former York North locomotive depot, in 1975, when it took over the former British Railways collection located in Clapham and the York Railway Museum located elsewhere in the city; since then, the collection has continued to grow.
The museum is a short walk from the railway station in York, either on the road or via a staircase from the rear of the platforms. A "roadtrain" runs from the city centre (near York Minster) to the museum on Leeman Road during half term, holidays and summer. York Park and Ride also serve the museum from the car park entrance, on Line 2 (Rawcliffe Bar-York). Admission to the museum has been free since 2001. It is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm from February to November and 10am to 5pm during the winter months.
Locomotion – the National Railway Museum in Shildon, County Durham was opened in October 2004 and is operated by the NRM in conjunction with Durham County Council. It houses more of the National Collection in a new building and a historic site around the former workshop of Timothy Hackworth and in the most recent full year for which figures have been published (2011–2012), it attracted more than 210,000 visitors.
