L'idea di sfruttare a dovere un assolato pomeriggio appostati sulla linea a singolo binario Krustpils - Daugavpils tramontò ora dopo ora assieme al sole, nell'attesa che si materializzasse un treno merci da fotografare con luce favorevole: ne contammo almeno 5 in poche ore, ma tutti in viaggio nella direzione opposta a quella di questa inquadratura, che riuscimmo a riempire solo con un convoglio passeggeri della serie DR1AC in servizio tra Riga e Daugavpils.
The idea of making the most of a sunny afternoon on the single-track line Krustpils - Daugavpils went down hour after hour together with the sun, waiting for a freight train to materialize to be photographed in favorable light: we counted at least 5 of them in a few hours, but all traveling in the opposite direction to that of this shot, which we managed to fill only with a passenger convoy of the DR1AC series in service between Riga and Daugavpils.
Uno dei principali snodi ferroviari della Lettonia è la stazione di Krustpils, dove le linee da Daugavpils e Rēzekne convergono per poi diramarsi nuovamente, dirigendosi rispettivamente verso Riga e verso Jelgava.
Nel territorio di Jēkabpils gli spunti per le fotografie sono numerosi, e forse uno dei migliori è proprio questo sovrappasso pedonale sull'ampio curvone all'uscita sud della stazione, che abbiamo utilizzato all'alba di una magnifica giornata per immortalare questo lungo convoglio formato da 57 carri di proprietà BCh (tra cui numerosi luccicanti di recente costruzione) per il trasporto di trucioli di legno, proveniente dal porto di Riga e di ritorno verso la Bielorussia. A Daugavpils, la 2M62UM di LDZ Cargo lascerà il compito di riportare a casa il treno a una locomotiva della serie 2TЭ10x della società bielorussa.
One of Latvia's main railway junctions is the Krustpils station, where the lines from Daugavpils and Rēzekne converge and then branch off again, heading respectively towards Riga and Jelgava.
In the Jēkabpils area there are many spots for photographs, and perhaps one of the best is this pedestrian overpass on the large bend at the southern exit of the station, which we used at the dawn of a magnificent day to capture this long convoy formed by 57 wagons owned by BCh (including numerous glittering and recently built) for the transport of wood chips, coming from the port of Riga and heading back to Belarus. In Daugavpils, the 2M62UM loco of LDZ Cargo will leave the task of bringing the train home to a machine of the 2TЭ10x series of the Belarusian company.
Daugavpils RVR-6 Nr. 56 und 55, gebaut von Rīgas Vagonbūves Rūpnīca (Rigaer Waggonfabrik) als HVZ-Verstärker der Linie 1 auf der 18.-Novembra-iela an der russisch-orthodoxen Sankt Boris- und Gleb-Kirche.
Gleich drei Gotteshäuser unterschiedlicher christlicher Konfessionen bilden den Hintergrund für das Tatra-Gespann aus 080 und 079 in Daugavpils: die russisch-orthodoxe Boris-und-Gleb-Kathedrale, die evangelisch-lutherische Martin-Luther-Kirche sowie ganz rechts die Türme der römisch-katholischen Kirche der unbefleckten Empfängnis der Heiligen Jungfrau Maria. Die letzteren Beiden stammen übrigens vom gleichen Architekten. Die Einwohnerschaft von Daugavpils ist ausgesprochen multiethnisch: neben der russischen Mehrheit leben hier viele Letten und auch Polen. Von daher ist die sichtbare Konfessionsvielfalt bezeichnend für die Stadt.

Salaspils is one of the oldest settlements in Latvia. Archaeological excavations of 1964-1975 (during the construction of Riga HES) in ancient settlements, burial grounds and castle mounds give evidence of very dense population of the region. At this time, the remains of 11,000-year-old reindeer hunters were found (the oldest known human settlement in all of Latvia) and 3500-year-old remains of Baltic hunters, buried in hollowed-out oak-tree trunks, were found as well. There is evidence that both Livs and Balts built hill forts in the region.
At the end of the 12th century, German merchants travelled up the Daugava, establishing missionaries among the Livonian settlements. One important centre of Daugava Livonians, the small island Mārtiņsala (German:Kircholm) had a Christian church as early as 1186. So began the Christianizing and gradual subjection of the local Livonian tribes. In 1206, in the early phases of the Livonian Crusade, the Livonian chieftain Ako organized the first revolt against the German crusaders but suffered defeat.
The name Salaspils mean "island castle".
In 1380 the Livonian Order built the castle (Neu Kircholm) on the mainland, with St George's church by it. The castle was an important support-point outside of Riga, and a small town grew up around it. Both the castle and village were destroyed in 1577 during the Livonian War.
In 1605 the village was a site of the Battle of Kircholm in which forces of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth defeated a much more numerous army of Sweden. This was the biggest battle of the Polish-Swedish War. The battle took place near St George's church and about 9000 Swedish soldiers were buried there. Two memorial stones in Salaspils commemorate of one of the biggest battles in Europe in the 17th century in memory of the victory of the Polish-Lithuanian forces. Up to the second part of the 20th century a magnificent 17th century military fortification near the Daugava - the Swedish rampart. The destroyed church was renovated in 1631, but later - in 1896 and 1923 - rebuilt.
In the 17th-19th century the surrounding area of Salaspils was governed by the Salaspils Estate which, was established near the destroyed Order's castle and was a part of Riga since 1630, and the Kurtes Estate which was situated in the territory of present Līvzemes street in Salaspils.
The Riga-Daugavpils railway opened in 1861, and the new center of the town developed near Salaspils

In the second part of the 19th century, military summer camps were organized in the territory of Salaspils and an Orthodox church was built into a garrison. During the World War I, the front line was at Salaspils for two years, and many of the buildings and farmsteads, especially along the river, were destroyed.
