The BoBo in passenger operations have been really reduced a lot with the last change of schedule.
They operate today mainly on the night trains, sometimes in pairs.
11194 looks still good and has still its numbers attached to the side.
Ce 28 Décembre 2017, la BB 7429 assurait l’habituel 58883 reliant Hendaye à Sibelin avec à son crochet une BB 27000 comme véhicule et une courte compo variée. De passage près de Théziers sur la Rive Droite du Rhône entre Nîmes et Avignon.

15 km to the west of Ing. Jacobacci, here is Empalme, the junction where the broad-gauge line to San Carlos de Bariloche splits off from "La Trochita", the narrow-gauge line to Esquel. Empalme means junction in Spanish.

De laatste trein is eerder op de avond binnengekomen op het station van Ostseebad Kühlungsborn-West. De locomotief is inmiddels weer aan de andere zijde van de trein gezet. De laatste reizigers hebben het station al lang en breed verlaten. Weg van de kille zeewind dat nu alleen de stoom nog doet verwaaien.
Nog enkele ogenblikken en trein zal vanaf ‘Bahnsteig 1’ naar het hoofdspoor buiten het station ‘worden uitgehaald’, waarna de locomotief de rijtuigen de loods in zal duwen. Daarna is het nog hard werken voor het locomotiefpersoneel: Roet, as en sintels worden verwijderd; het drijfwerk wordt geïnspecteerd; de locomotief wordt gesmeerd en schoongemaakt; kolen, water en remzand wordt weer bijgevuld.
Ook de fotogaaf heeft nog een ‘lange dienst’ voor de boeg. Direct na het maken van de foto werd het statief ingeklapt en weggereden naar het 160 kilometer verder weg gelegen eiland Rügen voor een bezoek aan de Rügensche Bäderbahn.

The sun had just set before I arrived back at Haymarket railway station this evening, I paused to try a quick shot with the phone camera as the western sky was gorgeous.
Last year’s summer vacation was spent partly in the utmost south of France, in the canton of la Côte Vermeille. It was a family holiday so I didn’t spend too much time chasing trains, however on 2 mornings I got myself out of bed early enough to catch some interesting traffic. The region is splendid in many ways, so I consider this as only a discovery. More time will be needed to discover it in more detail.
First morning, I was hoping for some freight, but had to settle with only passenger trains. No freight, alas, but a very interesting train was heading south. During a family trip to Collioure, from the corner of my eye, I had seen a viewpoint that raised my interest. This was the perfect time to try it. And yes, the view was great. The town in the middle is Argelès, with the tower of the Notre-Dame del Prat church taking a prominent place. The beach on the right is the Plage du Racou, a nice sandy beach next to a village characterized by its sand alleys between the houses. A pleasure to stroll through.
My location was pretty exposed to the wind blowing from the mountains. My tripod was a necessary tool to get below picture of the night train to Cerbère. It is hauled by locomotive 7399 in original Béton livery, without any modern SNCF logo. Without a doubt it’s one of the most beautiful locomotives of this series still running around.

When shooting freight trains, we usually look for locations that show a lot of train. Same for this train, but it turned out pretty hard to combine sunlight and a good view... it turned out not to be necessary; 3 cars easily fit within the frame.
The train on the photo comes from Chur and has almost reached Pontresina, it's final destination.

Gare de l'Est
The Gare de l'Est was opened in 1849 by the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer de Paris à Strasbourg (the Paris-Strasbourg Railway Company) under the name "Strasbourg platform." This platform corresponds today with the hall for main-line trains, and was designed by the architect François Duquesney. It was renamed the "Gare de l'Est" in 1854, after the expansion of service to Mulhouse.
Renovations to the station followed in 1885 and 1900. In 1931 it was doubled in size, with the new part of the station built symmetrically with the old part. This transformation changed the surrounding neighborhood significantly.
At the top of the west façade of the Gare de l'Est is a statue by the sculptor Philippe Joseph Henri Lemaire, representing the city of Strasbourg, while the east end of the station is crowned by a statue personifying Verdun, by Varenne. These two cities are important destinations serviced by Gare de l'Est.
On 4 October 1883, the Gare de l'Est saw the first departure of the Orient Express for Istanbul.
The Gare de l'Est is the terminus of a strategic railway network extending towards the eastern part of France, and it saw large mobilizations of French troops, most notably in 1914, at the beginning of World War I. In the main-line train hall, a monumental painting by Albert Herter, dating from 1926, illustrates the departure of these soldiers for the Western front.
SNCF started LGV Est Europeen services from the Gare de l'Est on 10 June 2007, with TGV and ICE services to north-eastern France, Luxembourg, southern Germany and Switzerland. Trains are initially planned to run at 320 km/h, with the potential to run at 350 km/h, cutting travel times by up to 2 hours.

A regional express train from Chur to St. Moritz climbs the Albula pass, lead by Ge 4/4-III number 643.
Initial plans for this trip focused on the Gotthard railway. When wheather turned out to be better in the eastern part of Switzerland, I was happy to propose the Rhaetian Railway, on my photo-bucketlist for a long time already.
We hadn't prepared for shooting photos in this region, but in Bergün it all came together. We left the car in town and hiked into the mountains, following the railroad line. South of Bergün the railway line gains height quickly through a series of curves. From our first viewpoint we could see 2 levels - the lower level offered a magnificent view on the little mountain town with the Lenzerhorn and Guggernellgrat in the background.

At Carrog class 26 locomotive 5310 removed the single box van tail traffic from the DMU and is seen placing it on the stock of the 15:32 to Llangollen. It was quite common for passenger trains to run with a freight wagon for sundries traffic.

An empty ethanol train from the Valero refinery in Saint-Romuald charges west through Sainte-Madeleine with a pair of 75's and a snazzy GACX Airslide hopper as a buffer. Unit fuel trains were once a staple of the Drummondville and Saint-Hyacinthe, but have been only sporadically running since the demise of the Ultramar trains and the 2013-2014 Alberta oil boom. CN has been running these corn juice trains from the Midwest US about once a week for a few months now.

The trains on the line to Marrakesh were interesting, however not the purpose of our trip here. So, back in the car through the Moroccon heat. Luckily, the car was equipped with an ARKO system (Alle Ramen Kunnen Open - all windows open).
Totally sweaty we stopped in front of the closed level crossing. I had barely enough time to get the camera out, point and shoot, as the first phosphate train of the vacation approached at full speed.

The day was coming to an end. Our first day along this cargo line was a banger. The unknown country was really fun to travel in, and inviting for more to discover.
Last pictures of the day were shot near Douar El Yssouf, in an attempt to catch a train in the ast rays of sunshine.

Met 'de donkere dagen voor kerst' hoef je in ieder geval niet tot laat in de avond te wachten voordat je een nachtopname kan maken. Daarnaast willen flatbewoners dezer dagen nog wel eens een kerstboompje ontsteken zoals hier aan het station Zandvoort aan Zee met de NS Sprinter naar Haarlem en Amsterdam.

Railway lines usually follow a smooth profile, and their route is therefore very suitable for different forms of soft transport. Line 59 between Gent and Antwerp is no exceptions: a bicycle highway is being constructed on large portions of the line. Extremely useful for sporty commuters.
Add to that the inexplicable urge to place fences all over the place -> the bicycle highways are a challenge for rail photographers (the Flemish seem to adore fences, even on their private property. Useful in some cases, but just ugly and highly unnecessary in my modest opinion).
In Beervelde it was still possible to picture trains in 2017. Here we see a mixed train from DB Cargo on its way from the port of Ghent to the Netherlands.

Time passed quickly, and before we knew it the sun was hiding behind the high peaks of the Alps. On of the spots where we would have some decent light left, was the viaduct at Intschi. From this viewpoint, you mostly see photos from earlier during the day. I think it looked good at this time also.
We were especially happy when this train passed us: the Railcare train from Chiasso to Hunzenschwil, hauled by a Re465 locomotive rented from BLS.
