Eurostar International Ltd: the high-speed train 4020-4019 (Velaro e320) passes through the Saint-Denis station, working the international train Eurostar 9028 from London St. Pancras to Paris-Nord.
SNCF: the Cerdagne narrow gauge line is one of the most picturesque railways in France. Known with the nickname of "Train Jaune" or "Canari", it has a length of 62.5 km, metric gauge and is electrified with a third rail at 850 V DC. It was commissioned between 1910 and 1927.
During most of the year, the two electric railcar snowplows are stationed at Mont Louis-La Cabanasse. Are the numbers ZDy 201 and ZDy 202, and were transformed from old van railcars 8 and 9, built by Carde et Cie. between 1908 and 1909. (Improved scan of a paper photo taken by me).
Posing for a grab shot! I'd made my way to Thiviers, a little town in Nouvelle-Aquitaine as I'd worked out the odd freight visited the quarry there. As I arrived, I spotted this Alsthom Prima BB75000 running light off the quarry line back towards the station for overnight stabling.
The loco is 475425, a BoBo diesel electric locomotive around 15 years old and built by Alsthom and Siemens as part of an order for 400 such locomotives by SNCF. It has probably worked a consist of stone wagon empties into the quarry from Bordeaux Hourcade, but I can't be sure, Friday 5.8.22

Which path should I take?
The one that is straight, the one that was drawn for me?
Or the one that I draw myself?
Even if it means losing myself or winning everything?
.
Quel chemin dois-je prendre ?
Celui qui est tout droit, celui qu'on a tracé pour moi ?
Ou celui que je trace moi-même ?
Quitte à me perdre ou tout gagner ?
We had a private charter running on Sunday. This allowed me - beside of my other duties - to join the outside session with simulated approaches.
So here our beauty is coming along with its train of five carriages.

Het was een ware verrassing om deze locomotief te zien passeren tijdens het wachten op onze trein. Deze locomotief is van origine gebouwd in de USSR (hedendaags Oekraïns grondgebied). Ondanks het oude uiterlijk is dit naar Sovjetgewoonte gewoon een design dat heel lang gebruikt werd onder het moto "why fix it if it isn't broken". Dit design kwam bij Luhanskteplovoz van de band gerold in 1979. En tegenwoordig ingeschreven in Letland. Dit is een van de prachtige dingen aan Hongarije, je kan er altijd wel iets speciaals vinden. Locomotieven van over heel Europa komen hier een tweede leven leven of komen gewoon tot hier.
De 750mm smalspoorlijn van de Oekraïense spoorwegen (UZ) van Antonivka (Антонівка) naar Zarichne (Зарічне) is maar liefst 105km lang door vrijwel leeg landschap. De enige personentrein op een rijdag doet er 4 uur en 5 minuten over ... als die rijdt, want regelmatig ligt de lijn stil vanwege defecte locomotieven. Een retourtje kost 50 Oekraïense grivna, wat omgerekend 1.70 euro is - daarvoor krijg je dus een volle dag rijplezier. Het locje - de TU2-062 - werd gebouwd door de Russische fabriek Kaluga in 1956. Hier in het station van Bile (Біле) zijn alle dames al in de 2 (over)volle smalspoorrijtuigen gestapt op weg naar de woensdagmarkt in Zarichne. Het vertrek van de trein wordt licht vertraagd door de 2 fotografen die uit de trein zijn gesprongen en ook weer halsoverkop moeten instappen :-) Het is weliswaar februari 2019 maar het voelde als reizen in grootmoederstijd.
Ukrzaliznytsia (UZ) narrow gauge railway from Antonivka (Антонівка) to Zarichne (Зарічне) serves only 1 train per day which takes 4 hours and 5 minutes for the 105km long journey. The fare for a return ticket amounts to 50 Ukrainian hryvnia, which is 1.70 euro. Locomotive TU2-062 was built in 1956 by the Russian factory Kaluga and is spotted here in Bile (Біле). The picture is taken in february 2019 but it felt like travelling as in grandmother's time.

R2020AI. To the north of Orléans in France is a large agricultural area known as Beauce in which last amounts of sugar beet are grown.
This is harvested in the Autumn and Winter months and, until 31st December, 1964, the harvest was transported to the sugar refineries by the Tramway de Pithiviers à Toury (TPT) which was an intensive network of 60cm gauge railways. All told, it extended to around 50 miles. And, until 1951, it also carried passengers.
Road improvements in the post war years led to increasing competition from lorries and private cars and this led to the railway’s downfall.
I visited the TPT in October, 1964, so was only just in time to see it before the final curtain came down and this is a Decauville 0-6-0T of 1928 vintage which, despite it’s run down appearance, is actually in steam! It’s at the Toury end of the line.

NB: Although the original picture isn’t too bad, I asked A.I. if it could be improved and this is the result.

A green flash in the corner of my eye while cruising on the highway caused a shout of enthusiasm. Could it be? Finally a DF100?
10 long minutes later we were at the station of Taza, admiring this French beauty under the warm Moroccon sun. We assume it stand here as a back-up, in case some other locomotive fails.

La BB75428 dans sa livrée FRET, est en tête d'une rame de wagons chargés de black pellets en provenance du port de Rouen et à destination du Bourget puis de la Compagnie Parisienne de Chauffage Urbain (CPCU) de St-Ouen-les-Docks. La rame est vue sur le groupe VI sous une belle lumière bien à l'heure.
On my way back to the west, I was overtaken near Kurort Rathen by a Metrans train in the direction of Dresden.

CMQ's westbound road train glides into Foster, QC behind a trio of former CP SD40-2F's. This location was the site of a recent derailment, as evidenced by the new ballast and old ties in the ditch. Consist : CMQ 9011, CMQ 9020, CMQ 9010.
SNCF Voyageurs: the electric locomotive 827359 (Alstom Prima) hauls a reversible set of double-decker cars of type VB 2N, working a Transilien service train to Paris-Saint-Lazare.
All vehicles retain the "Transilien 2002" livery, and will not receive the new "Île-de-France Mobilités" livery, as they will soon be withdrawn from service, replaced by new EMUs.

Long driving around finally brought me to a spot between Ceska Trebova and Zabreh. I was expecting quite some traffic here. After a massive rain shower, time I prefered spending in the car, I set up tripod and camera in this field close to Hostejn. The train festival broke loose, I shot one train after another until I grew tired of it and the light was about gone.

SNCF Voyageurs: two EMUs of the Regio 2N type, in "Île-de-France Mobilités" colours, at full speed on track 1 of the Villeneuve-Saint-Georges station, working a Transilien commuter train on the R line.
I went today to the Bahnpark to do some work on our locomotives.
It was pretty cold with -3 degrees Celsius.
De treindienstleider van het station van Pegern bestudeert nog even snel zijn ‘Fahrplananordnung (Fplo)’; het dagelijkse aanschrijven van de Österreichischen Bundesbahnen waarin de in afwijking van de normale dienstregeling rijdende treinen staan vermeld. Na de korte check of alles klopt, kan er toestemming voor vertrek worden gegeven. Over enkele ogenblikken zal de 298.102 met zijn GmP het station van Pegern verlaten, als laatste trein van de dag.
