Here's a shot I got of the Silver Rapids & Solarium in Topeka on the rear end of today's Amtrak #4. Owing to its tardiness into town, there were a number of local fans on the scene, and it was rather well covered on its trip to KC. These two CZ vets may have been out of place on the Santa Fe, but they sure looked good! Its just a bit of a bummer that I won't be around to shoot them rolling down the Racetrack this evening.
With characteristic exhaust trails, a class 115 DMU moves slowly onto the fuelling point at Marylebone.

Nearly 50 years of industrial design separate DB's ICE3 class 407 and SNCF's CC72000/72100 diesel. Both are fine examples of the designer's craft.

Brand newish British Rail Class 755 4 car diesel electric Bi-Mode Multiple Unit (BMU) 755404 as operated by Greater Anglia ready to run a service train to London Stansted Airport at Norwich Station in the County of Norfolk (UK).
The Class 755 BMU's were a direct replacement from 2019 for the ancient Class 156 'Sprinter' DMU trains that operated on rural Greater Anglia secondary lines.
755404 was built for Greater Anglia by Stadler Rail at their facility in Bussnang Switzerland as one of the Stadler 'FLIRT' (Fast Light Intercity and Regional Train) modular family of trainsets.
The Class 755 bi-mode units should not be confused with the almost identical looking Stadler Rail 'FLIRT' Class 745 Electric (only) Multiple Units which are also operated by Greater Anglia.
Note the Dellner type coupling system in the big ugly hole at the front of the train. The Dellner Coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
Greater Anglia had an option to have a cover fitted in these coupling holes by Stadler but declined for cost and ease of maintenance reasons.

Five of these things were built for the Stansted Express in 1990. Since then they have been all over the place. This one was running on the Southminster branch for Greater Anglia. Or at least it was in the morning - later it was replaced by a class 321.
This is Wickford, with a London Train seen opposite.
