Le 5 Juin dernier était la première occasion pour moi de « déconfiner » mon appareil photo qui était bien rangé depuis le mois de Février. Voici donc ce soir un premier cliché de cette période post-confinement avec la BB 26063, dernière survivante de la série en livrée FRET, qui assurait l’habituel train de messagerie reliant Miramas à Avignon, le convoi est vu de passage à l’entrée d’Arles en milieu d’après-midi.
Con l'imminente arrivo dei 4 tram M8C-NF ex Heidelberg, che STA ha acquistato da RNV (Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr), l'autunno scorso dovrebbe essere stato l'ultimo per le 3 BDe 4/8 (ex Trogenerbahn, FFA, SWP, BBC, 1975/1977) in servizio sulla ferrovia del Renon. La foto mostra l'unità 23 in partenza dalla fermata di Colle / Rappersbichl lo scorso 7 novembre.
Bien le Bonsoir!
Retour à Gazeran dans ce coin qui demandait à être tester sous les meilleures conditions climatiques.
Avant la fameuse 7275, voici le passage furtif du OUIGO classique n°4093 pour Rennes depuis Paris Austerlitz, mené par la BB 22339 Béton et composé de quatre voitures Corails de la firme et deux autres en livrée carmillon.
A bientôt!

Good evening!
Back to Gazeran in this area that needed to be tested under the best weather conditions.
Before the famous 7275, here is the fleeting passage of the classic OUIGO No. 4093 to Rennes from Paris Austerlitz, led by BB 22339 Béton and composed of four Corail carriages from the company and two others in Carmillon livery.
See you soon!

Since the timetable change in December '25, the daily petrol train from Antwerp has shifted traction provider. Medway is in charge now and uses Vectron locomotives to haul the heavy train towards Germany.
It is not unlikely to catch some colorful traction as Medway uses yellow, red and blue units. On one of the first sunny days of the year, I caught their own yellow 7193 002 and Beacon sister 6193 043. Shining bright in the sunlight, it was a pleasure to see.

During the commute home, I had noticed a couple of times a train pulled by an SNCF TRAXX in the early evening. With the days getting longer, a few photo opportunities presented.
We see a coal train coming from the direction of Gent, towards France. The rail line is starting a big S-curve here, that will end up in Gent-Sint-Pieters station. A really long time ago, the line would run straight, in the alignment of the street that can be seen on the right. It would finally end up in Gent-Zuid station. Today the railway bed has been revived by a bicycle highway – a very convenient and fast way to Gent, I must say. Along the highway, if you look well, you can still find some relics of the old line.

The 2 freights were in, check! Up next, an RE2 towards Schwandorf. We parked the car in a safe spot, avoiding falling chestnuts to damage the car and set up for an autumnal shot. The sun was almost completely gone now and it proved rather challenging to still get a sunny picture.
We see DB's 218 406 hauling the RE2 4863 from Hof to Schwandorf.

Bonjour!
Au départ de Sotteville, les deux BB 67400, accompagnées d'une BB 63500, sont vues à l'heure sur la célèbre ligne 1 au niveau de La Ferté sous Jouarre, un des coins de spots les plus connues avec notamment, son active et discrète usine d'engrais sur la prise de vue.
Ce convoi mortuaire, si j'ose dire, alors ici composé de voitures Corails Normandes et de la région centre, propres d'apparence mais toutes radiées après près d'un demi-siècle de bons et loyaux services, a pour destination finale Culmont-Chalindrey pour démolition.
A noter la présence d'une voitures pilote de type B5hux Haute Normandie en queue qui fait partie du voyage.
Pour conclure cette aventure, je tiens à souligné la miraculeuse éclaircie qui a sauvé cette photo car au départ, ce n'était pas gagné.
Dorénavant je ferai d'avantages de textes décrivant les prochaines publications
A bientôt

Hello!
Departing from Sotteville, the two BB 67400 locomotives, accompanied by a BB 63500 locomotive, are seen on time on the famous Line 1 at La Ferté sous Jouarre, one of the most well-known spots, notably featuring its active and discreet fertiliser factory in the shot.
This funeral procession, if I may say so, consisting of Corail Normande and Centre region carriages, clean in appearance but all decommissioned after nearly half a century of loyal service, is bound for Culmont-Chalindrey for demolition.
Note the presence of a B5hux Haute Normandie pilot carriage at the rear, which is part of the journey.
To conclude this adventure, I would like to highlight the miraculous break in the clouds that saved this photo, because at first, it didn't look promising.
From now on, I will write more texts describing future publications.
See you soon.
From the Ruhr area I had a long drive waiting for me. On the second day of my trip, weather forecasts in South-Eastern Germany were looking good. A perfect occasion to check out the RE2 trains hauled by BR218 locos.
Due to infrastructure works between Schwandorf and Regensburg, trains were limited to the Hof - Schwandorf section of the line. Trains were exceptionally running in push-pull mode due to these works, and only 2 of the 3 needed rakes were operated with BR218 and Dosto coaches. But it was still interesting enough to meet up with Bramtrains to chase some trains.
The day started cloudy and rainy, but that was only for a short time. At 10:22 we caught our first RE2 of the day, being pushed to Hof by 218 406. It is seen here at the southern entrance of Weiden (Oberpfalz), on the junction of the lines to Schwandorf and Nünberg.
It was late and immediately after making this photo I packed my gear and drove home. It was only the next day that I took the time to look at the photos I made. That's when I discovered a strange orange line on the top left of the image.
Was it a plane? No, that would show up as a line of dots and it wouldn't be such a long stripe on a picture with a 0.6 second exposure.
A satellite? No, same reasoning regarding the length of the line.
The only conclusion I could make is that I actually shot a meteor on its way through our atmosphere. That's a first one in my 25+ year photography career.
Oh yeah, there's also a train in the picture. We see Railtraxx' only leftover Traxx, 186 123, hauling a set of blue tankers to Ghent.

Bien le bonjour!
Rien de tel que des poses longues à Paris Austerlitz pour s'occuper lorsque qu'il ne fait pas très beau en journée.
Le 19 janvier fût assez riche niveau Nez Cassé avec des remontés de voitures Corails et autres services comme ce train de nuit composés de voitures couchettes au nombre de 7.
Alors en préparation pour effecuer l'intercité de nuit n°5789 à destination de Briançon, la BB 22328 Béton, alors rutilante , était alors prête, à se lancer dans un long périple.
De quoi conclure cette journée avec le smile.
A bientôt!

Good morning!
There's nothing like long layovers at Paris Austerlitz to keep yourself busy when the weather isn't great during the day.
19 January was quite a busy day for Nez Cassé, with Corail carriages and other services such as this night train consisting of seven couchette carriages.
In preparation for the night intercity train No. 5789 to Briançon, the BB 22328 Béton, gleaming in the sun, was ready to embark on a long journey.
What a way to end the day with a smile.
See you soon!
Bien le bonjour!
C'est parti pour ma première session en région bourgogne sur la fameuse ligne impériale avec ses nombreuses circulations.
Nous sommes à Prissey à environ 2,5/3km de Nuits Saint George au sud de Dijon et le calme s'estompe avec le passage d'un nombreux FRET descendants vers Lyon.
En voici un, le fameux ME120 n°43147 Thionville > Perpignan opéré par LINEAS France, avec en tête la BB 37004 dans sa triste robe grise, tractant des wagons cargos et centenaires remplis, bien propres.
De nombreuses photos ont été effectuées un peu partout entre Nuits St George et Corgoloin, sous ce magnifique soleil qui annonce les prémices du printemps.
A bientôt!

Good morning!
Here we go for my first session in the Burgundy region on the famous Imperial Line with its frequent services.
We’re in Prissey, about 2.5–3 km from Nuits-Saint-Georges, south of Dijon, and the peace and quiet is broken by the passage of a large freight train heading down towards Lyon.
Here’s one of them, the famous ME120 No. 43147 Thionville > Perpignan operated by LINEAS France, led by BB 37004 in its rather drab grey livery, hauling a string of century-old, fully loaded and spotlessly clean freight wagons.
Numerous photos were taken all along the route between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Corgoloin, under this magnificent sunshine heralding the first signs of spring.
See you soon!
Now that we had gotten so close to Hof, why not check out the station and get something to eat.
Dinner venues weren't appealing, unfortunately, but we spent our time shooting the next train to Schwandorf instead. A good choice, as the train was posing under the blue hour evening sky.
After the shoot, Bramtrains headed north while I went south. I scored something to eat along the road and slept at a bad, but cheap, hotel in Passau, preparing for the next episode.
DB 218 406, RE2 4869 Hof - Schwandorf. Hof, October 21, 2025.
I was so hot in the meanwhile that "shade" became a criterion for the photo locations. Again east of Settat we found this spot with a view on a Holcim (cement?) plant.

Bien le bonjour!
Le 18 octobre dernier fût assez riche niveau circulation sur le PO et le ciel se voila au fur et à mesure que les heures passèrent.
Voici la BB 7242 EV qui ce jour là ,pour mon plus grand plaisir, était orienté du bon côté pour avoir son fameux nez plaqué SNCF (que j'ai retouché pour que cela ressorte bien), en tête de 5 voitures Corails TER.
L'ensemble est vu dans le célèbre coin de Monnerville, assurant l'omnibus V160 n°8860587 Paris Austerlitz > Orléans et s'apprêta à desservir la gare de cette même commune.
A bientôt!

Good morning!
18 October was quite a busy day on the PO line, and the sky gradually clouded over as the hours passed.
Here is the BB 7242 EV which, to my great delight, was facing the right way that day to show off its famous SNCF nose (which I have retouched to make it stand out), at the head of five Corail TER carriages.
The train was seen in the famous Monnerville area, operating the V160 omnibus No. 8860587 Paris Austerlitz > Orléans and preparing to serve the station in the same town.
See you soon!
Let's end the series of the phosphate trains with this empty train towards Khouribga. After making the photo, we got to meet the owner of the house we stood next to. His son worked for the railroad, so the connection was quickly made. He invited us to his house, where we enjoyed a delicious couscous dish, that his wife had prepared on the spot. This is hospitatlity I will never forget!

In sostituzione di qualche Flirt ETR 170, gli ATR venostani effettuano occasionalmente anche dei treni su RFI, sia sulla ferrovia Merano - Bolzano, sia sulla linea del Brennero. Lo scorso 26 ottobre, ad esempio, gli ATR 100 008 e 003 hanno espletato il Regionale 16000 (Merano - Bolzano). La foto è stata scattata nei pressi della stazione di Lana Postal / Burgstall.
