L'E86 ET 16 "Malé" espleta il Treno 310 (Trento - Mezzolombardo) dello scorso 19 febbraio. L'immagine mostra la Bianchina poco prima della fermata di Trento Nord - Zona Commerciale, nei pressi dell'inizio del tratto a doppio scartamento, sotto una bella nevicata.
Le 23 Décembre 2018, la BB 26227 assurait l’habituel convoi d’alumine pour Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. Il est vu en fin d’après-midi sous les derniers rayons de soleil hivernaux, quelques minutes après son départ de Miramas, à Saint-Martin-de-Crau.
De museumspoorlijn Ybbstalbahn Bergstrecke tussen Kienberg-Gaming en Lunz am See beschikt over de oudste rijvaardige smalspoor-diesellocomotief 2093.01 van Oostenrijk uit het jaar 1930. De lijn kronkelt spectaculair langs de berghellingen en door ingravingen. Met een vleugje zon werden de herfstkleuren op de hellingen opgefleurd. Machinist/interieur van de machine is te zien in het eerste commentaar hieronder.

In occasione dei festeggiamenti per i 125 anni della MOB - Compagnie du Chemin de Fer Montreux Oberland Bernois - gli scorsi 17 e 18 ottobre si è tenuta una fantastica parata di rotabili storici tra Zweisimmen e Lenk im Simmental. Tra i treni che hanno partecipato all’evento, spiccava l’ABDe 8/8 4001 “Schweiz/Suisse”, tornata a circolare per l’occasione dopo più di sei anni di accantonamento a Lenk. Le 4000, realizzate in quattro unità da SIG, BBC e SAAS e in servizio dal 1968, sono state una vera e propria icona della MOB ed è stata per me una grande gioia poterne rivedere una in servizio!
Oltre alla capostipite, al giorno d’oggi esiste ancora l’ABDe 4004 “Fribourg” anche se non più funzionante. La foto mostra l'elettromotrice doppia mentre costeggia il fiume Simme, poco oltre la fermata di Stöckli,
Look well and you'll see a train in between the grain fields!
A short sprint led to this panic shot, that turned out better than expected.

On evenings of transit, the declining daylight shrouds previously envisioned destinations in a veil of uncertainty. When the last rays of sunset cast their golden sobs on the facades, the paths of travel fade and dreams gradually take their place.
Les soirs de transit, le déclin du jour nimbe d'un voile d'incertitude les destinations auparavant espérées. Quand les dernières lueurs du couchant projettent aux façades un sanglot doré, les chemins du voyage s'estompent et le rêve prend peu à peu la place.
A bite-size SLR Richmond-Southwark freight rolls through the dip at Sainte-Madeleine on the north track of the Saint-Hyacinthe subdivision. In the distance on the south track, the crew of CN 519 is also heading west to Southwark with a 110-car freight from Bécancour that ran out of hours earlier in Saint-Hyacinthe. Consist : QGRY 3014, RLHH 3403, SLR 3007.
This train’s colours do look good between the autumn leaves, looks like it was always foreseen to be this way. The view would be gone quickly, followed by another 2 hours of silence in the quiet Amblève valley.

Salarymen on the Yamanote line (the reason for this shot was actually trying to figure out if my camera had survived a bang it had just gotten - thankfully it had).
Strekov castle is a famous landmark in the Elbe river valley, dating from 1316. It is one of railway photographers' favorite subjects in Usti Nad Labem. I had to go check it out of course, and in the course of an hour or so got quite a few cargo trains.

Laat in de zaterdagmiddag brengt de Cockerill-locomotief nog enige ketelwagens naar de spooraansluiting. Als een voerman op zijn wagen staat de machinist voorop de kleine machine met staande stoomketel. De visser geniet al van het weekendverlof, zijn zesdaagse werkweek zit erop. Hij is met zijn deftige Oldsmobile naar zijn favoriete vistek gereden om daar een hengeltje uit te werpen. Zal er vanavond een zoetwatervisje op het menu staan?

Day 6, our last full day in Morocco! We started in Nador, where we ended up last night in our search for a hotel. The hotel was good so we started the day all refreshed. This line was our last hope to see a DF 100 locomotive in action. Somewhere we had read that these locomotives run freight trains here.
Well, all we got to see was a quite modern railway line with large, seemingly abandoned stations, and not so dense passenger train traffic. As the stations were unmanned, we have no idea if freight trains ever ride on this line.
We concentrated on the few passenger trains to and from Aït Nsar, next to the Spanish enclave Melilla, as the rail line was rather scenic.

Un Minuetto di Trentino Trasporti effettua il Regionale 16931 (Trento - Borgo Valsugana Est) del 20 dicembre 2024. La foto mostra il treno qualche minuto dopo la sua partenza da Trento mentre percorre il viadotto "Gocciadoro".
En milieu d’après-midi du 10 Juillet dernier, un convoi de l’infra descend de Portes-lès-Valence avec les BB 67627 et 67433 en tête. Ce dernier est à destination de La Seyne sur Mer pour approvisionner de futurs travaux sur la ligne azuréenne.
During the wait at Pontebba, the rail line was cleared again after the infrastructure works. It didn't make sense to stay there, though, as the line in tunnels offers only little possibilities. I decided to head to the flats south of the Alps, hoping for freights against the mountain backdrop.
Spot-on when I arrived at Tricesimo. Not only was there the mountain backdrop, it was also very sunny, warm, and I got one freight after the other. 8 in 1,5 hours, to be more precise. I selected 1 photo to show here, but more will be visible on railscapes.blog when I get the day's report out.
CFI 494 212, train 40597 Breclav - Pescara Porta Nova. Tricesimo, October 24, 2025.
The first week of august was hot, incredibly hot, in the Alsace region. After a short night I decided that it was time to get up early and enjoy the cool morning temperatures along the tracks. Well, a little before 7am I was standing next to the tracks in only a t-shirt. At least temperature was still bearable.
Of course I got to see some trains: lots of vintage stuff like TGV Réseau and Sybic locomotives, but the banger came at the end: an empty car train from Busto Arsizio to Gent-Zeehaven. This would have been a good train to hitchhike back home.
A few more pictures here.

Dal 2023 la bella automotrice ZZ 6 (Renault ABH 1, 1936) è tornata a correre sui binari della Nice - Digne, grazie al lavoro dell'associazione GECP - Groupe d’Étude pour les Chemins de fer de Provence - che ne ha curato il restauro. Durante la seconda settimana di agosto, la Renault (talvolta accompagnata dal rimorchio Billard RL 3) ha effettuato vari viaggi nella valle del Verdon tra le stazioni di Thorame-Haute e di Saint-André-les-Alpes. Terminati i suddetti viaggi, lunedì 10 agosto l'automotrice e il rimorchio hanno fatto ritorno a Puget-Théniers. La foto mostra l'invio transitare sullo spettacolare viaduc de Guillaumasse ai piedi del paese di Méailles.
The photo in Parkstein Hütten was a fact, but would we make it for the second freight? This one came from Hof and would bend west towards Nürnberg south of Weiden. I had found a location on the map where the sun would be positioned nicely. We weren't certain it would be a good photo location, but it was our best option.
Once arrived the location turned out to be decent. If now the sun would participate. The cloud cover was growing and growing, so that was going to become a thriller.
A local photographer was not expecting the train yet, but we kept our gear ready to shoot as the sun's position was ideal. You never know. We were rewarded because a reasonable time after the passenger train passing in the opposite direction, we noticed a rumble. It grew louder quickly and passed us on the perfect moment. Success x2.
DB 232 472 with train 46420 Kolin - Valenciennes. Röthenbach, October 21, 2025.
FR – 23 octobre 2026 – Spišské Podhradie, Slovaquie
Sur une petite route de campagne, un policier contrôle les papiers du conducteur d’une Škoda bleue. Sa Lada banalisée est garée derrière. À l’arrière-plan, la 434.2338 passe avec son train de marchandises au pied des collines aux couleurs d’automne. On pourrait se croire en Tchécoslovaquie à la fin des années 1970.
À quelques kilomètres au sud de Spišské Podhradie, le train se dirige vers Spišské Vlachy par la courte ligne 187. Le conducteur de la Škoda aurait sans doute préféré regarder passer le train plutôt que présenter ses papiers.
Mais nous sommes en octobre 2026, et ce contrôle routier est aussi spontané que le passage du train : tout a été mis en scène à l’occasion de circulations affrétées pour les prises de vues photo et vidéo d’un groupe d’amateurs passionnés. Des gens parfaitement raisonnables, qui font rouler un train à vapeur et ressuscitent la police tchécoslovaque pour le seul plaisir de photographier un automobiliste qui passe une mauvaise journée..

EN – October 23, 2026 – Spišské Podhradie, Slovakia
On a quiet country road, a policeman checks the papers of the driver of a blue Škoda. His unmarked Lada is parked behind. In the background, 434.2338 passes with its goods train beneath hillsides dressed in autumn colours. It could almost be Czechoslovakia in the late 1970s.
A few kilometres south of Spišské Podhradie, the train is heading towards Spišské Vlachy along the short branch line, route 187. The Škoda driver would probably have preferred to watch the train go by rather than produce his papers.
But this is October 2026, and the roadside check is every bit as spontaneous as the passing train: the whole scene has been staged during a series of photographic charters arranged for a group of dedicated railway photographers and videographers. Perfectly reasonable people, who run a steam train and bring the Czechoslovak police back to life for the sole pleasure of photographing a motorist having a bad day.
