Op 16 januari 2010 werden de voor sloop bestemde treinstellen 511 en 801 van Nederlandse Spoorwegen van Weert naar Zwolle Rangeer gebracht. Het transport werd getrokken door Volker Rail-diesellocomotief 203-2 (ex-DB 202 691) en het gesplitste treinstel 921 deed dienst als koppelwagens. Voor de beremming zorgde de achterop meegevoerde Kirow-kraan. Foto bij Tricht.

Een aantal van de, als ik het me goed herinner, dertien ballasttreinen die ingezet werden bij de werkzaamheden van Strukton Rail in Heeze in februari/maart 2023 werd gereden door VolkerRail. Een 'concurrent' die ballasttreinen rijdt voor een ander bedrijf; in de Infrapool kan het.

Door deze samenwerking kon de fraaie combinatie van een VolkerRail loc met de hoge ballastwagens t.b.v. de nieuwe bovenlaag meermaals vastgelegd worden. Tot aan de spanningsloosstelling werd gereden met elektrische tractie. Daarna nam de dieselloc het over.

Op bovenstaande foto zijn we al diep in de buitendienststelling en is er net begonnen met het lossen van de trein; zie de vijfde Fccpps. Dieselloc 203-1 "Tom" trekt de trein tergend traag de overweg over. Het wegverkeer zou nog een hele tijd staan te wachten..!

Achterop lift de VR 7178 mee.

I wish I could video the EVF and take RAW stills at the same time in the field, Until then, an experiment in doing just that out of 908 frames taken Friday, Jan.19, in Fernald Preserve, OH (11 degree Fahrenheit, wind, light snow). Large flocks of cranes were calling overhead. There were at least 4 harriers taking turns flying around my location. The snow made the image look softer than I would like but still, a terrific outing! I assembled the movie from the shots and inserted a few selected frames as stills, posted before this video. My appologies about the choppiness- it is because I do lift my finger off the shutter sometimes . Hope you enjoy this..
