Ks 1: Reduced Speed: this means not always that a train is routed to a diverging track. The reason for speed limit can be a reduced breaking distance or overlap!

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.

On the first round trip of its shift, the evening Roberval Saguenay crew has just turned around at Port-Alfred and is headed back to Arvida with a heavy train of finished aluminium, coke and bauxite. The RS has been running its "new" SD70ACe's together or sandwiched between a pair of GP38-3's, as the big AC units make terrible leaders for the smaller DC units. Consist : RS 67, RS 80, RS 65.

Retour vers Toulouse-Matabiau à bord de la double rame TER 871484.
Sortie de la gare de Pamiers (Ariège).
The shunter was coming back from its work under diesel power. The driver is the left. She is wearing remote control, so could also stand on the ground to direct the locomotive.

The gloomy and short winter day ended at the monumental bridge over the Rhine river at Duisburg. I squeezed the camera through a fence to get a decent view on the steel monster, hoping for some freight but getting a bright passenger train. Nicely contrasting the bridge. It was only getting darker and I was getting more and mmore soaked and cold: the signal for me to return home.

We had a group going from Olten to Landquart. There they switched to the RhB, went to Samedan and back to Chur.
Finally a paralell running was planned and as you see also executed between Chur and Landquart.
We took over the passengers then in Landquart to bring them back to Zürich and Olten.
It was a long day for us, returning only to Brugg around 22.30 o'clock in the night.
But we were rewarded with many happy faces.
In addition to its line between Coatzacoalcos, Ver. and Mérida, Yuc., the Ferrocarril del Istmo de Tehuantepec operates a branchline that extends east from Mérida to the town of Valladolid, Yuc. The railroad provides service to Cruz Azul, a bagged and bulk cement distributor, in Valladolid once or twice a week. The line to Valladolid is restricted to a speed of 10 kph, with many sections restricted to 5 kph on account of track condition. Here, the local is seen crawling across Ruta 180 near the village of Tixpéhual, some 16 kilometers from Mérida yard. Leading the train is a B30-7A (yep, a former B-unit) of Central Michigan and Burlington Northern heritage. Much of the rented locomotives' maintenance is sub-contracted to the FIT's Mérida shops by their owners, and this is where a cab (presumably off an U23B) was added to this PQ Logistics oddball.
A northbound Ferrocarril del Istmo de Tehuantepec (FIT) train is negociating the busy, tight quarters in the Canek and Alámbrica neighbourhoods of Mérida, YUC. Located nearby are Mérida's largest hospital, a medicine school, a military hospital and various other government buildings, which means the train's passage here rarely goes unnoticed, with many locals taking stills and videos using their phones. Consist : BOTX 3901, BOTX 1824, BOTX 2002, BPMX 3916.
L’association AAATV-CVL a été sollicitée par la mairie de Cormeilles-en-Parisis pour faire un aller-retour en train touristique principalement pour ses habitants vers Amiens. Le trajet était via la ligne Gisors-Serqueux. La composition du train était la suivante : La 141 R 840 encadrant la rame avec l’A1A A1A 68540 en queue. Le train fut un succès total car il était complet avec 200 cormeillais à bord. La rame est vue en gare de Conflans-Sainte-Honorine lors de son arrêt circulation afin de laisser passer un Omneo pour la Normandie.
About an hour after leaving Farnham yard, Central Maine and Quebec's eastbound road freight is crawling through a slow order around mile 111, just past the town of Bromont. The track here is still made of stick rail, which might explain the slower running. Consist : CMQ 9020, CMQ 9010, CMQ 9023, CMQ 9021.
The last freight train of the day, headed to Pontresina, passes us at Bever station. We awaited this train before heading home. Weather forecast wasn't looking good, and because of last night's accident, we decided to make a stop-over north of Strasbourg.
It had already gotten rather dark for this photo - some boosting of the light was necessary to get a decent result.

After a trip down the Bécancour and Drummondville subdivisions, engineer ZBS and her conductor are lifting the day's production out of Saint-Hyacinthe out of track E130 for forwarding to Taschereau yard. Their lift includes a massive boiler built by Indeck at their Saint-Hyacinthe plant, which lies about a mile north of the Saint-Jude spur. Consist : CN 5668, CN 8014.
For the last train of the day, I chose this viewpoint from on top of a bridge in Noyelles-sur-Mer.
The plains in the back lead to the famous natural reserve Baie de Somme.
The Amiens - Boulogne line looks promising. I've seen some interesting spots that I'll definitely try when I have some time to go out there again. I'm thinking of the high viewpoint in Liercourt, for example.
As for this trip, I still checked out the beach at Boulogne-sur-Mer to mark the end of the day. Along with a short visit to the railway station.

C’est le début de la saison des pèlerinages 2018 et belle surprise ce Samedi sur la Côte d’Azur avec la BB 22258 RC en tête du 29007 Lourdes - Vintimille assez retardé, cette dernière reviendra sur Nice après avoir laissée la rame continuer son périple en Italie. De passage en Gare de Carnolès. 07.04.18
Après avoir fait un tête à queue à Valenton, la BB 22287 (Unique BB 22200 en livrée "fantôme" appartenant à l'Infra) en tête d'une rame de wagons plats en provenance St-Pierre-des-Corps, longe le Triage de Villeneuve-St-Georges avant de prendre les voies en direction de Juvisy pour rejoindre sa destination finale : Trappes.
La journée glaciale du 27 Février se termine à la limite entre Lozère et Cantal, à Albaret-Sainte-Marie: Le convoi Clermont Ferrand - Saint Chély d’Apcher via Neussargues ramenant les derniers coils pour l’usine Arcelor Mittal est vu avec quelques minutes d’avance non loin de son terminus avec les BB 67629 et 67460 en tête.
Our holiday apartment was located on a 10 minute walk frm Brançon's train station. And I managed to smuggle my photo gear between the numerous bags in the car. So I was able to organize a short après-ski moment during the blue hour of the day, to witness the departure of the daily night train to Paris.

While the local shunter is still sorting the cars, the return train is already being composed. It all happens with relatively few people, and it goes fast. I wonder if this is a profitable business, considering the number of cars the freight trains carry.

Rather early in the day it was done with scheduled loco-hauled passenger trains around Horna Stubna. This was the opportunity to travel north a bit, led by my photo companions of the day, to explore a bit of the busy mainline between Zilina and Presov.
They showed me the area around Svosov, where an old station building is still standing. The cross on the right is a plus, as was the soft evening light.

South of Airolo we found another nice spot, and as always we waited for some freight trains to pass. One of the 3 we saw was carrying Winner Spedition trailers from Wuppertal to Piacenza; a 937km trip by car.

Chose peu habituelle Samedi dernier, la BB 22235 RC assurait l’intercités 4764 Marseille Saint Charles - Bordeaux Saint Jean. De passage à Saint Chamas en début d’après-midi.
The Re 4/4 II of the second series still maintain the wonderful design, though they are battered and do not get any paint refresh.
Also plates have been removed, as they would disappear over night in the collection of "true" railway fans.
It was getting darker and darker. The clouds had finally won the battle with the sun. Only one bundle of rays of sunshine enlighted the forest behind the viaduct of Besnard. While I kept on hoping on some sunshine at the right time on the right spot, it soon became clear that the nice part of the day was over. The train to Paris passed in difficult light conditions, especially for a distant shot like this. The bright colors of the viaduct, and the grey train, luckily stand out in front of the dark forest in the background.
