Chemin de fer à vapeur des Trois Vallées (CFV3V): this association operates a tourist railway between Mariembourg and Treignes, in a stretch of 14 km on the line 132. This line was put into service between 1852 and 1854. The passenger service was suspended in 1963, and the freight service in 1971. The first tourist trains ran between Nismes and Treignes in 1976 and from Mariembourg in 1977. The association CF3V has a workshop in Mariembourg (with the last turntable in service in Belgium) and a museum in Treignes.
Here we see the Belgian diesel railcar 4610. The 20 Class 46 railcars (old type 554) were built by Ragheno in 1952 for the SNCB.
Going abroad always means some kind of adapting to a new environment. No different when we went out shooting along the Gotthard railway in the last winter before the opening of the new base tunnel. We were completely off as to when the sun would actually light the tracks, not thinking about the high mountains and wintertime.
The dark valley was still nice to see, though, albeit a bit harder to photograph. It was especially hard to capture the contrast between very white snow and the dark rocks and trees. We would slowly see the sun rise above the mountains, but the first train still passed us in complete shadows.
This is the start of a memorable week in Switzerland, chasing trains, good weather and having a lot of fun.

R15033. A Class X3800 ‘Picasso’ diesel railcar at Lumbres on the The Chemin de fer Touristique de la Vallée de L’Aa (or Aa Valley Tourist Railway). This is a volunteer run heritage railway based at Arques in northern France around 49km (or 30½ miles) from the Channel Coast at Calais. It’s 15km ( or a bit over 9 miles) long and ends at Lumbres.
As well as Picasso railcars there are also loco hauled passenger carriages for which the motive power is a BB63000 B-B diesel-electric locomotive or a Polish Ty2 ‘Kriegslok’ 2-10-0.

● La locomotive MF 83 de 1916 provient des charbonnages de Monceau – Fontaine, à Monceau ( Belgique 🇧🇪 ).
De conception simple, elle est prévue pour effectuer un service de manœuvres. Elle fut la dernière machine à vapeur en service dans ce charbonnage. Elle a été transférée par ses propres moyens à Mariembourg le 24 mai 1980. Cette machine est propriété du CFV3V.
Fin 2011, les responsables du parc roulant du CFV3V ont décidé de la mise à la retraite définitive de la locomotive à vapeur MF 83 …
Sa mécanique fatiguée n’était que source de désagréments et cette locomotive indisposait tous les membres actifs, mêmes les plus motivés … Toujours des problèmes, sans cesse ! Une décision sage a été prise : BONNE RETRAITE !
Fin 2016, la locomotive a été vendue et elle a quitté le sol belge "pour les trains des rêves à Dracy-Saint-Loup ( France )" le mercredi 12 avril 2017.

In the first half of 2016 I (finally) started exploring the German Ruhr region, a region said to be busy with railfreight traffic. My route to the region runs along the Eindhoven - Venlo line, which also sees quite some freight trains... a logic stop for having breakfast! In America I found this view - it is stitched together using 3 photo's to get the panorama. The mossy caravan wasn't about to move anytime soon, but I was lucky to still see (the front) half of the horse.

SNCF: a set of two Z 6100 EMUs working a Transilien commuter train.
Between 1965 and 1971, Carel-Fouché, Alsthom and CEM built 85 three-car 25 kV AC EMUs for commuter trains in Paris.

SNCF: the DMU of type EAD (Élément Automoteur Double, also known as "Caravelles") formed by the motor car X 4696 and the driving trailer XR 8693, working the regional train TER 886617 from Roanne to Lyon-Perrache. (Improved scan of a paper photo taken by me).

We had moved our Ae 3/6 I to the roundhouse last weekend.
Simple reason is that we necessary gear there to dismount axles.
So the first axle was from the Bissel truck. It was a serious team work with multiple steps.
The whole work was rather dirty as the bearings were still full of water and oil.
Arriva Trains Wales Class 150 DMU and an unidentified classmate are seen approaching Waun-Gron Park station, with the 2A18 1441 Cardiff Central to Aberdare service on Tuesday 29th March 2016. Due to engineering works at Cardiff Central, trains between there and Aberdare were being diverted via the 'City Line' to Radyr. Trains ran non-stop between Cardiff and Radyr, with intermediate stations on the City Line between Cardiff and Radyr not being served.
Needed a slightly higher shutter speed, but one for the records.
SNCF Voyageurs: the EMU Z 55754 (127M, type Bombardier Regio 2N) passes through the Saint-Denis station, working the regional train TER 47918 from St-Quentin (Aisne) to Paris-Nord.
A ride on the Chemin de fer de Vivarais from Tournon to Colombier-Le-Vieux. Metre-gauge 0-6-0-6-0T compound Mallet 403 is at the head of the 10.00 train at Tournon Saint Jean station. Since 2013 this has been the eastern terminus and the dual-gauge section to the SNCF station in Tournon is no longer in use.
403 was built in Switzerland for the cdf de Viverais in 1903. Despite its pristine appearance the loco will be withdrawn for overhaul in the near future. The railway has one other serviceable Mallet at Tournon and 2 under overhaul, the latter at Lamastre.
This is the off-season and on Tuesdays only one train runs and this a shorter journey to Colombier-Le-Vieux rather than the 2 hour full 30km journey to Lamastre.
Class 150 Sprinter DMUs 150213 and 150281 arrive at Radyr with the 2Y80 1817 Treherbert to Barry Island service.

Bij de Zuid-Limburgse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (ZLSM) werd op 29 oktober de zogenaamde 'seinwezendag' gehouden met een leerzaam dagvullend programma over de klassieke beveiliging. Terwijl alle andere deelnemers al vertrokken waren struinde ik nog over het spoorwegemplacement (met geel veiligheidsvesje aan en onder toezicht van de organisatoren) om bij het vallen van de avond de armseinen vast te leggen.
