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.

(EN) At the beginning of 2013 the winter arrived Croatia especially snowy, within a short time there was considerable snowfall in many parts of the country. While in the Zagreb area the railway traffic was characterized by numerous failures of the electric locomotives and trainsets, there were almost no restrictions on the diesel routes around Varazdin. The robust diesel locomotives of American origin were, as usual, extremely reliable in the winter conditions. On 15/01/2013. 2044 022 made its way to Varazdin with the regional train 3006 through dense snowfall and was captured at the exit from Zabok.
(DE) Anfang 2013 war der Wintereinbruch in Kroatien ausgesprochen schneereich, innerhalb kurzer Zeit gab es in weiten Teilen des Landes erhebliche Neuschneemengen. Während im Raum Zagreb der Zugverkehr von zahlreichen Ausfällen der dort eingesetzten E-Loks und Triebzüge geprägt war, hat es auf den Dieselstrecken rund um Varazdin so gut wie keine Einschränkungen gegeben. Die robusten Dieselloks amerikanischen Ursprungs zeigten sich in den winterlichen Verhältnissen wie gewohnt äußerst zuverlässig. Am 15.01.2013. bahnte sich 2044 022 mit dem Regionalzug 3006 durch dichtes Schneetreiben ihren Weg nach Varazdin und wurde bei der Ausfahrt aus Zabok bildlich festgehalten.
EN - Train 47635, a block grain service loaded to 1,800 tonnes, runs south from Vallorbe towards Lausanne and the Simplon route, passing the church of Bretonnières with Re 620 013 in charge.
In freight coding, the train is a PERT - CUN. It originates at PERT, Perrigny Triage (marshalling yard) near Dijon (France), and is destined for CUN, meaning Cuneo.
The Re 620 provides traction between Vallorbe and Domodossola, before the consist continues deeper into Italy under FS/RFI control. This service is a regular heavy grain flow moving from French production areas into the Italian market via the Simplon corridor.

FR - Devant l’église de Bretonnières, le train 47635 de 1800 tonnes tracté par la Re 620 013 descend de Vallorbe en direction de Lausanne et du Simplon.
C’est un train complet chargé de céréales. En langage ferroviaire codé, il provient de PERT et il est à destination de CUN. PERT est Perrigny Triage, à côté de Dijon, en France et CUN est Cuneo (Coni en français). Merci à Sebafor pour m'avoir aidé à identifier ce code.
La Re620 assure la traction depuis Vallorbe jusqu’à Domodossola.

I was walking down from Bristen to Amsteg and crossed the former water line for the power generation. I thought, wouldn't it be nice to see a train coming along with this view.
And then I saw it. One of the rare freight trains on the old line. This one with an Re 10/10 or Re10 called double power with a truly heavy load.
Would I need anything more to ask. And the locomotives were really heavy working to keep the train at its 80 kmph speed.
Nella notte tra il 22 e il 23 aprile è giunto a Soprabolzano (BZ) il primo dei quattro tram M8C-NF acquistati da STA - Strutture Trasporto Alto Adige SpA per la ferrovia del Renon.
Si tratta, in particolare, dell’ex unità 3256 di RNV (Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH, la società che gestisce il trasporto pubblico nelle città di Heidelberg, Mannheim e Ludwigshafen am Rhein), in servizio fino allo scorso anno tra le vie di Heidelberg. La 3256 veste ancora la livrea RNV in quanto verrà utilizzata esclusivamente come fonte di pezzi di ricambio.

Le 555.129 assure un train de marchandises de Česká Lípa vers Liberec sur la ligne 086, ici à l’approche de Mimoň.
La lumière du petit matin éclaire encore favorablement cette section en bordure de forêt, tandis que la locomotive produit un important panache de vapeur et de fumée dans l’air froid matinal.

The 555.129 heads a freight train from Česká Lípa to Liberec along the Czech line 086, seen here approaching Mimoň.
The early morning light still falls perfectly on this forest-edge section of the line, while the locomotive throws up a vast plume of steam and exhaust into the cold morning air.

After a refreshing night in Khouribga, we got up early to catch the first trains in the cool morning air.
Also the locals found it a good idea to start working early. E-1305 hauls the early morning Casablanca - Khouribga train past Mrizig.

So here she has already run past me and I got this shot from here.
I noticed a person in the cab, which I thought I would know. Later today I learned that this was Georges Trüb going along with the trials.
After an early morning run down the Cane Creek branch to swap a dozen empty hoppers for that many loaded ones, Union Pacific's famous Potash local is back on the move towards Grand Junction and is seen entering the cut at the Corona Arch Trailhead.
In de vroege ochtend van 28 mei 1972 - de klok wijst net 6 uur aan - wordt in Haaksbergen door NS-personeel nog kisten in ‘Geelbander’ type Gls geladen. Deze standaard gesloten goederenwagens waren speciaal bestemd voor het stukgoedvervoer van Van Gend & Loos. Op deze dag reed tussen Haaksbergen en Enschede de laatste buurtgoederentrein van de Nederlandse Spoorwegen.
De scene werd vastgelegd op 23-04-2022 tijdens een fotorit georganiseerd door Fotostop bij de Museum Buurtspoorweg (MBS) met als thema 'De laatste dagen van de NS-bediening'. Een te moderne lichtmast is hier digitaal verwijderd. Een verslag is te bekijken op: nvbs-actueel.com/2022-06-juni/de-laatste-dagen-van-de-ns-...

▪️08/07/2025 "We never thought we would still be surrounded by destruction and death for 610 days but we are here without an ending. They talk about ceasefire but children were bombed in a playground today. We hear rumours but what do they mean? We still cant get proper food or health care. Another hospital is closing due to the lack of fuel abd baby formula is banned at the borders? Why does no-one care?"

The opening of the TGV-Est, planned for december 2016, would meant the end of the Eurocity trains between Brussels and Basel. Following all logic of French railways, passengers from Brussels to Switzerland have to use the TGV and pass through Paris...
We love these classic trains, allowing cheap and relatively fast travel. That's one of the reasons we were chasing them in the Vosges on this beautiful january day.
With a beautiful cloudy sky, in warm winter light, a TGV to Strasbourg rides along the Marne - Rhine Canal.

Fino al 1966 la ferrovia del Renon collegava l'altopiano con la città di Bolzano grazie a uno spettacolare tracciato con cremagliera di tipo Strub e pendenze che raggiungevano il 255‰. Per affrontare queste ultime nel 1907 furono acquistati tre locomotori di costruzione SLM: L1-L3. Di questi, oggi esiste solo L2, ma non è funzionante. Un quarto spintore, prodotto nel 1909, è conservato a Innsbruck. Lo scorso 20 settembre, in occasione di un evento fotografico, è stata riprodotta una classica composizione dei tempi della cremagliera: L2 + elettromotrice a 2 assi nr. 12 + carri 32 e 43.
