What makes a photo location a good one? Among my criteria are a nice landscape as back- or foreground, no clutter like communication masts or fences, and "peace and quiet". You don't see the last criterium on the photo, but it makes the waiting nice. Add a little sunshine and some interesting trains, and I may be tempted to stick around for a while... even though I prefer to see as large a number of places as possible on a photoday.
After the unsuccesfull tries around Bezpravi, I couldn't resist the temptation to stick around for a while at Ceska Trebova. It was a quiet place to sit, and train traffic was very busy.

The High Tatra mountains are hiding behind… equally High clouds. Tough luck, but train traffic was overcompensating. Below a selection of what I saw. Regiojet was expected, PKP Cargo wasn’t. This line was definitely rocking it, making the far trip here all the more worthwhile.

I just went through my collection and came across this shot from 2020.
The machines being restored are truly amazing work. I know from my own engagement how much effort is needed to keep the old machines running.
I was surprised to see the machine with the old pullman cars sitting in Realp and waiting for the passengers

(EN) The year 2015 meant for 2044 001, after a long time-out, the long-awaited return to Croatia's railway tracks. After being in service in the north-east of the country for a few months, mainly on the so-called "Podravina mainline" between Koprivnica and Osijek, in the autumn the locomotive returned to its usual routes around Varazdin and has since then been mainly used on regional services on the main route to Zagreb. In the afternoon of 16/11/2015 it was hauling the regional train 3015 from Varazdin to Zagreb and was captured immediately before sunset at the entrance to the station of Zabok.
(DE) Das Jahr 2015 bedeutete für 2044 001 nach langer Auszeit die lange erwartete Rückkehr auf Kroatiens Schienen. Nach einigen Monaten Einsatz im Nordosten des Landes, hauptsächlich auf der sogenannten „Podravina-Magistrale“ zwischen Koprivnica und Osijek, kehrte im Herbst die Lokomotive auf ihre Stammstrecken rund um Varazdin zurück und seitdem vorwiegend im Regionalverkehr auf der Hauptstrecke nach Zagreb eingesetzt. Am Nachmittag des 16.11.2015. war sie an der Spitze des Regionalzuges 3015 von Varazdin nach Zagreb und wurde von mir unmittelbar vor Sonnenuntergang bei der Einfahrt in den Bahnhof von Zabok bildlich festgehalten.
Amidst an explosion of color, OBB 1216 021 pulls its RailJet 133 from Vienna to Venezia Santa Lucia. It is seen right before entering the short tunnel in Eichberg.

After an overnight trip from Mérida, YUC, a Ferrocarril del Istmo de Tehuantepec (FIT) has just tied down its train by the old station in Campeche, CAM. The trip from Mérida is mostly southbound geographically, but this train is called a northbound, even though it will mostly be running south and west along the old línea FA on its way to Coatzacoalcos, VER. It makes more sense if you think of this line as an extension of Mexico's main north-south line. Consist : BOTX 3904, BOTX 1883.

It was only a few minutes, which were given "Chnurrli" - on the left - to shine and rise with the two mighty other steamers.
And soon Andreas was off with "Chnurrli" to put at rest for the night.
A visit to Morocco without seeing a Prima locomotive wouldn't be complete .One of the first trains we saw, was this one headed by one of these beautiful locomotives. We were around Settat and had the timetable of the passenger trains, so decided to go for the certain picture before heading to the quieter line that has the freight traffic. Little did we know that freight train traffic would be rather intense.
An unknown Pima locomotive is seen near Ouled Ben Sbaa, heading a train to Marrakesh.

After an overnight trip from Mexico City, a Ferrosur manifest train is crawling into Veracruz yard behind a pair of AC44's of different lineage. The Port of Veracruz is Mexico's largest port on the Atlantic and is the origin or destination point of most of the traffic on the 420-kilometer línea S. On this hazy February morning, we found the yard bustling with activity, with several trains waiting to go in and three switch jobs moving around the yard.
19-07-2024 - The Modder River bridge near Perdeberg is one of the best spots on the otherwise not so scenic Kimberley – Bloemfontein line (Free State, South Africa). The late afternoon light makes the position even more beautiful, as the glint reflects on the side of the train.
Here is the same bridge under different angles :

The first success in Beervelde encouraged me to continue the chase. In Griendtsveen I expected quite some color and a high chance to see a freight train. The Betuwe route was closed due to works on the German side and train were rerouted over Eindhoven. And yes, once set up I didn't have to wait long for a freight train. We see Rurtalbahn Cargo 193 793 with a train from Maasvlakte to Blerick. Why do they so often forget to place a container on the first wagon?
CN's daily Halifax-Toronto container train flies through Sainte-Madeleine on its way west. After a 110-mile trip down the Drummondville subdivision, the Joffre-based crew still has a 40-mile dash ahead of it to Taschereau yard in Montréal before they can call it a day. Consist : CN 3032, CN 3935 (mid-train).

Creative description: crime boss Cisco Delgado is in escape from vendetta. He is traveling by train and counting in fear 25 kilometers to Italian city Grado. Sheriff Burt Sullivan is getting closer, he can bet that he feel Delgado fearing dirty sweat. Burt want to make bloody revenge with his revolver Beretta. This revengance isn't a joy, it is an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth, his father was killed by Cisco when he was a little boy.
What will happened next... Maybe I will tell you how story ends in the future.
I took inspiration from Texas, Addios older western movie with Franco Nero that I saw in childhood. I used city Grado because of cool rhyme. Cisco Delgado is Mexican crime boss, and Burt Sullivan is sheriff. In movie plot is in Mexico and Cisco wasn't running by train. If you like western movies than I recommend you to see the movie Texas, Addios (1966). I wish to thank to my friends major Mate and corporal Tome who helped me to put so many flashlights arount railroad. This was third time that I had photo session on this location and this photo session was the best.
I recommend you song David Knopfler - Night Train.

P.s. David Knopfler is a brother from Mark Knopfler, they played together in a band Dire Straits.
The afternoon Roberval Saguenay (RS) mainline train from Arvida has arrived in Port-Alfred and cut away from its cars, which the switcher crew is already pushing into the harbour storage tracks with a rented GP38-2. The outbound cars for the run back to Arvida are also ready to go, and the pair of SD70ACe's will back onto then as soon as the switcher clears into the yard. Four aluminium plants depend on this operation, and things tend to be done very efficiently with plenty of personnel around to help the train crews. Consist : RS 82, RS 80.
A KCSM crew has just left Xalapa yard and is coasting down the steep grade of the línea V with a short Xalapa-Veracruz train of empty grain cars. Sadly, KCSM's mainline to Veracruz sees much less traffic than Ferrosur's, and this would be the only movement we would see on our short stint on the northern México-Veracruz mainline.
De interurbans 24 en 25 staan in het station van East Troy gereed voor een late rit. Het duurt nog even voor het tijdstip van vertrek aanbreekt zodat de "conductor" tijd heeft ontspannen naar buiten te leunen. De twee grote stalen motorwagens zijn in 1927 door de Pullman Car Co. gebouwd.
Amerikaanse "Interurbans" zijn bijeengebracht in het "gelijknamige album".

La résurrection de la locomotive 141.R.568, un colosse de fer de 190 tonnes
Elle était laissée à l’abandon, en bout de gare de Schaffhouse. Un Vallorbier, fou de trains, l’a remise sur rails. La 141.R.568, locomotive à vapeur de 1945, ravive aujourd’hui le romantisme ferroviaire
Les Mikado de la série 141 R numéros 1 à 1340 sont des locomotives à vapeur unifiées de la SNCF qui furent largement utilisées pour tous services sur l'ensemble du réseau français de 1945 à 1974.
Construites en Amérique du Nord en deux séries (1 à 700 et 701 à 1340) suivant un modèle inédit en France, utilisées partout et pour toutes les tâches et besoins ferroviaires, elles sont intimement liées au renouveau du réseau ferré français d'après-guerre ainsi qu'à la fin de la traction à vapeur en France.
Neuf machines de cette série emblématique sont aujourd'hui préservées en France (dont cinq protégées au titre des monuments historiques) et en Suisse.

Jinn Met The Greatest King Of Sin Part 4
Jinn: “Sukayna gave me secretly love potion
I felt majestic like a dolphin in the ocean
She knew the dark secret when Jinn fall in love
Than he will lost power and sleep for a long time.”
Chucky: “I hope she’ll burn in hell for such a crime.”
Jinn: “Anyway, what is your wish?”
Chucky: “Hey Jinn I want now Lamprey à la Bordelaise a French culinary dish.”
Judas Iscariot the narrator: “Maymun looked astonished.”
Chucky: “Fish my ass I am just kidding.”
I am neither bad guy nor insane
Little ol' me inherited murderous tendencies from Cain
All I wanted is to become imperfect human again.”
Judas Iscariot: “What a coincidence.
At the same time some driver was in a trance.
Chevy car was passing nearby and playing
A heavy song from Bruce Dickinson - The Ghost of Cain.”
Chucky was in a good mood. He starts to use rhymes à la hip hop.”
Chucky: ”Come on, chop chop! We haven’t got all day!
Only few magic words you need to say
Dear buddy, release me forever from my rubber body.”
Jinn: “Here it is my little friend, your misery is going to end.”
Judas Iscariot: “Jinn used magic words: Ajji Majji la Tarajji.
After few minutes in pain Chucky turn to human.”
Chucky: “It ain't no lie I am feeling high like albatross fly
I finally become man again after 33 years.
Jesus Christ died at age 33 on the cross
I spend exactly age of Jesus in a lousy doll
It was such a loss.
I am born again, now I am back to the game
The world will fear my name.”
Jinn: “Little advice stay away from a vice & trouble.”
Chucky: “Are you kidding me? What do you babble?
I am a synonym for double trouble
You can even find my name in the popular game scrabble.”
Jinn: “So long to you and King Kong.”
Judas Iscariot: “Jinn flew to the sky permeated with myriad of stars.
Adiós Amigo said Charles.”
Charles couldn’t believe, his new human body didn’t have scars.
P.s. This story is neither a phantasy nor a hoax
I know that you don't believe a single word
But that's all fucking true folks
I swear on my mighty sword
This narrative isn’t a lie
It’s a time to leave Mother Earth, good bye.
The End
P.s. Little ol' me recommend you a song Ian Cussick - Runaway Train.
