Returning to my home town after a short photo trip, before turning into my street, I saw some freight wagons standing still near my house. It turned out that one of the wagons had a problem with the brakes. The train driver got it fixed, and got the train back moving when I arrived on the spot. This location has changed quite a bit: as part of the modal shift from car to bicycle, a bicycle highway was built here, together with a fence.

Temperatures were rising already as this empty phosphate train passed us, hauled by a Japanese Hitachi loocomotive.

The Re420 takes its train to St. Gallen on the old viaduct towards Wipkingen and Oerlikon.
The viaduct got a new life a few years ago when it was renovated and shops and restaurants put in the arches.
Earlier attempts to shoot the famous French nez cassé locomotives on the IC trains between Paris and Maubeuge were rather frustrating, partly due to the very sparse number of trains. That is, until we discovered that there were also loco-hauled trains running between Paris and Saint-Quentin. It turns out you can fill quite a day south of Saint-Quentin chasing these trains, which my friend Eurorailer and I have done a few times last summer.
The full story is as always available on railscapes.blog. This panic shot of 22320 with IC 16458 from Maubeuge to Paris-Nord kicked of the evening parade in Essigny-le-Grand.
Three machines of this type were built in 1926 for the Seetalbahn. It is similar to the bigger - and more famous railway crocodiles - but was derived from the then new electrical shunters.

Line 170 between Banská Bystrica and Vrútky
This is the Rábkinský Tunnel (197m) on the spectacular section Banská Bystrica - Dolná Štubňa of the line 170 Zvolen - Banská Bystrica - Vrútky. The steam locomotive 556-036 is approaching the east portal, at km 27.2.
Here is the picture of the same train exiting the tunnel : flic.kr/p/2r4jTYX

After getting a picture of the yellow 363 005 (here), I wanted to chill ot a bit longer at this location. Sun was perfect and maybe another train would be coming up? This shiny 363 came at the right time, in very beautiful light.
SZ 363 011 with an empty car train towards Ljubljana. Črnotiče, July 12, 2024.
The venerable electric three axle switcher was built between 1932 and 1942 (this series).
This one belongs to someone personally, not having the time to restore it. So it came to Brugg.
Ex-MRCE, now Beacon, hired to Lokotrain, subhired to CD Cargo 193 635 and CD Cargo 383 011 lead a car train from Breclav to Slovenia, I suspect maybe to the port of Koper. The train is seen as it heads west through Eichberg station.

Talbot leverde in 1996-98 treinstellen type DM'90 - bijgenaamd Buffel - aan de Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS). Hoewel nog lang niet versleten rijden ze inmiddels toch al in hun nadagen door de privatisering en elektrificering van spoorlijnen. Zo ook bij de spoorlijn van Zwolle naar Kampen ('Het Kamperlijntje') waar in 2017 de exploitatie wordt overgenomen door Syntus met nieuwe treinstellen. Tevens wordt de lijn geëlektrificeerd en zal de weidse blik in de polder Mastenbroek daardoor verleden tijd zijn.
Dutch National Railways (NS) class DM'90 was built by Talbot during 1996-98 and got the nickname 'Buffalo'. DMU's 3433+3447 are spotted here on the branch line Zwolle - Kampen. As from 2017 the train operator will change from NS (Dutch national railways) into the private operator Syntus. Moreover, the line will be electrified which will make the view on the typical Dutch landscape less attractive.

Le 12 Mai 2016, la BB 25660, dernière danseuse survivante en région PACA assurait un de ses derniers trains en service commercial, le TER 881142 Menton - Grasse. Elle s’apprête ici à faire son arrêt en gare de Carnolès.
La SY X301 (CFD Montmirail, 1971) è titolare del treno CP 531 ("Navette" Nice - Colomars-La Manda) dello scorso 29 dicembre, La foto mostra quella che dovrebbe essere la più vecchia automotrice in servizio regolare di Francia, in arrivo alla stazione di Saint-Isidore qualche minuto prima del tramonto.
FR – 31 mai 2026, 8h02 – Čremošné, Slovaquie
À Čremošné, à 680 m d’altitude, se trouve la gare la plus haute de la ligne 170 Banská Bystrica – Dolná Štubňa – Martin – Vrútky. Le point culminant de la ligne est un peu plus loin, dans le tunnel de Čremošné, à 692 m.
Même un 31 mai, à 8h00 du matin et à cette altitude, l’air reste assez frais pour transformer la vapeur en nuages blancs. Arrêté à l’extrémité est de la gare, ce train profite d’une belle lumière rasante.
La locomotive, est masquée par la vapeur : celle de la machine se mêle à celle qui s’échappe de la conduite de chauffage vapeur du train de voyageurs, juste derrière elle. Au fond, on distingue à peine l’entrée du tunnel de Čremošné, tunnel de faîte de la ligne, avant la descente vers Banská Bystrica.

EN – 31 May 2026, 8:02 – Čremošné, Slovakia
At Čremošné, at an altitude of 680 m, stands the highest station on line 170, Banská Bystrica – Dolná Štubňa – Martin – Vrútky. The actual summit of the line lies a little further on, inside the Čremošné Tunnel, at 692 m.
Even on 31 May, at 8 a.m. and at this altitude, the air is still cool enough to turn steam into white clouds. Standing at the eastern end of the station, the train catches a fine low morning light.
The locomotive itself is hidden by steam: the exhaust from the engine mingles with steam escaping from the train’s steam-heating pipe, just behind it. In the background, the entrance to the Čremošné Tunnel, the summit tunnel of the line before the descent towards Banská Bystrica, can only just be made out.

The weather in Rathen was better going than coming. Saturday afternoon brought some more freight trains as well.

Een 40-jarig jubileum bij één werkgever komt tegenwoordig weinig meer voor. Dat geldt zeker ook voor het spoormaterieel. In 2021 lukte het locomotief 1611 om de 40 jaar vol te maken. Begin 1981 werd de eerste locomotief van de serie 1600 van de Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) afgeleverd. Op 22 juni 1981 werd locomotief 1611 afgeleverd, met de verwachting om jarenlang bij NS in dienst te blijven. Hoewel 40 jaar in dienst, heeft de locomotief al heel wat werkgevers gekend; een stuk of acht.
Vanaf januari 1999 werd de eerste 37 locomotieven van de serie 1600 (1600-1637) ingezet bij NS Cargo, als gevolg van de opdeling van de Nederlandse Spoorwegen in een goederentak en reizigerstak. NS Cargo ging na een fusie met DB Cargo verder onder de naar Railion. Dat was in 2000. Eerst was er Railion Benelux, waar NS ook een aandeel in had. Na de verkoop van de NS-aandelen in 2003, ging het verder onder de naam Railion Nederland. In 2009 ging Railion verder onder de naam DB Schenker Rail, om vervolgens in 2016 weer DB Cargo te gaan heten.
Vanaf 2009 werden er verschillende 1600’en gesloopt. De 1611 heeft altijd de dans kunnen ontspringen. Vanaf januari 2020 reden er nog maar drie 1600-en bij DB Cargo; de 1604, 1611 en 1615.
In september 2020 is de 1611, samen met vijf andere 1600’en overgenomen door Railexperts. Op 8 mei 2021 heeft het Duitse RailAdventure een meerderheidsbelang in Railexperts genomen. Ter gelegenheid hiervan werd de ex 1611 in het Railadventure-kleurenschema gestoken en mocht meteen die dag een eerste overbrenging doen.
De foto toont de 1611 tijdens het passeren van station Gilze-Rijen. Het is 21 maart 2009 als de locomotief met vijf beladen kalkwagens aan de haak op weg is van de kalkgroeve nabij het Belgische Hermalle naar de hoogovens in Beverwijk. Vanwege werkzaamheden voerde de reis die dag via Breda en Rotterdam in plaats van via Utrecht. Geheel passend bij die periode draagt de locomotief hier de opschriften van Railion.

Fabian and Ralf have brought the small steam engine to the main tracks of Brugg.
The driver of commuter train called the control center to get them back to the Bahnpark. The control center had just forgotten that Ralf and Fabian waited for the open signal.
The oldest locomotive in the Baie de Somme metre gauge railway (CFBS) fleet is the 2-6-0 tank No.2 built in 1889 by the French company J.F. Cail (Works No.2296) for the Panama Canal construction project. On 26th April 2026, it was working hard on the severe climb away from St.-Valéry-sur-Somme Ville station, the midday service from Le Crotoy to Cayeux, comprising vintage stock, and setting light to the lineside along the route with one fire already starting to take hold and visible beyond the rear carriage.
This locomotive has a remarkable career, details to be found here:
