Seemingly freshly minted Hoover, 50008 'Thunderer', lives up to its name as she makes a spirited start from Totnes station up the infamous Rattery Bank - one of the three significant inclines on the route between Exeter and Plymouth collectively known as the South Devon Banks.
While it's not particularly visible in this view Rattery Bank starts almost at the end of the platform and lasts for just over 4 miles varying between 1 in 45 and 1 in 80, before easing to 1 in 90 and then increasing to 1 in 65.
The route was such a challenge in steam days that an extra loco was required for the heavy expresses, and later even the diesels wouldn't treat this route lightly with any weakness potentially a source of delay, or worse, an embarrassing failure. It wouldn't be the first time I've ridden up where, even under clear signals, the train was barely doing 10 mph over the top.
Given the apparently relaxed ambience of the driver looking out of the side window, I'm presuming on this occasion 50008 was as good 'under the bonnet' as she looked externally. Or maybe he was just waiting for the right-hand curve a few hundred yards up the track to look back and check he still had eleven on!
Despite being withdrawn from BR service in 1992, 50008 has lived on under private ownership and has even hauled a few freight trains around the network over the last 12 months.
I'm guessing I took this from Malt Hill over-bridge before the A381 'Western Bypass' was built impeding the view looking the other way.

Eén kilometer westelijker en 13 minuten later zien we opnieuw de 628 518 tijdens het halt houden in het stationnetje vn Wasserburg.
Het stel is ondertussen teruggekeerd richting Lindau nadat het in Kressbronn de reizigers heeft opgepikt van de veel te laat rijdende RE uit Stuttgart - op tijd rijdt de RB 22735 echter ook niet: nog steeds staat er plus 10 op de teller.
-----
With the outskirts of the Pfänder in the background we can see once again the 628 518 making is scheduled stop at the station of Wasserburg whilst returning as local train to Lindau.
Due to the fact that the passengers of the delayed RE from and to Stuttgart had to exchange trains at Kressbronn, this RB still had a delay of 10 minutes.

Am 10. Juni 2021 war ich ein paar Stunden in der Nähe von Bad Bevensen und so konnte ich bei Klein Bünstorf ein DB ICE-T Triebwagen fotografieren welcher alls ICE 1578 mit +13 von Karlsruhe Hbf nach Hamburg Altona fuhr.
Op 10 juni 2021 kon ik te Klein Bünstorf een DB ICE-T fotograferen die met 13 minuten vertraging als ICE 1578 van Karlsruhe Hbf naar Hamburg Altona onderweg was...
On June 10th 2021 I spend a few hours trainspotting near the city of Bad Bevensen.
Amongst other things, I also managed to get a shot of ICE 1578 which was running from Karlsruhe Hbf to Hamburg Altona with a 13 minute delay...
Hmm. Post may be delayed longer than you think. Spotted on my way to a meeting, hence taken on my iPhone.
The train before mine was cancelled - so by the time I arrived the platform was full of frustrated people. Some just looked miserable in the heat - others took advantage of the delay.
Bristol "Temple Meads" railway Station.
I think adopting a puppy may have had something to do with the delay in getting this done when I had originally expected ;)

Our ship was delayed three hours leaving Seattle. We even had to have a diver come in to fix a problem. But the bright spot was literally then getting this view when we finally did sail. Mount Ranier at sunset is pretty fine.
inspired by real life events. I once had a flight delayed because the plane had a problem with its coffee maker!

Quest'anno il VSOE per Venezia viaggia in Svizzera con una traccia straordinaria ritardata di circa due ore rispetto a quella ordinaria che ha permesso di ridurre la sosta diurna al confine italiano a Chiasso.
Ciò ha finalmente permesso di estendere l'area in cui sia possibile riprenderlo all'alba. Eccolo quindi attraversare il corso del Reuss alle porte di Rotkreuz al traino di una coppia di Re4/4 SBB. (24/4/15)
This year the Venice-Simplon Orient Express from London/Paris to Venice has changed its schedule being delayed of two hours in its Swiss journey. This had given the possibility to catch it also North from Erstfeld on the Aarau-Arth line along the Reuss valley.
Here a couple of SBB Re4/4 are pulling this great classic train over the Reuss bridge between Oberrutti and Rotkreuz on April the 24th.
I should know better. The weather starts getting nice and I always think that it can only go one way... nicer and nicer again.
But it is usually a bit more of a seesaw. Up a bit, and then down, and then up again.
At least we know the trend is up more than down, so the hope for better weather is just delayed for the time being.
Trying to catch up my delay ... (which has become very big) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS/MONTHS later. And I might post several photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. Je vous répondrai peut-être dans plusieurs SEMAINES/MOIS. Et je posterai peut-être plusieurs photos entre temps.
France. Vosges. Alsace. Haut-Rhin. Vallée de Munster. Photo prise lors d'une rando effectuée ma femme au départ du parking situé juste au-dessus du village du Hohrodberg. Nous avons effectué un circuit qui nous a fait passer à de nombreux endroits remarquables du secteur : le sommet du Hoernleskkopf, le village du Hohrodberg lui-même, le chaos rocheux du Katzenstein, les lieux-dits Mittelbuhl et Gebraech, la ferme auberge du Glasborn et pour finir, la crête du Barrenkopf et du Kleinkopf, qui a été le théâtre d'affrontements meurtriers entre français et allemands au cours de la 1ère guerre mondiale. Ce qui est fou c'est que je n'ai pas choisi cette randonnée en pensant que ça tombait bien pour un 11 novembre. Mais une fois sur place, on s'est dit avec ma femme que c'était une coïncidence vraiment bienvenue !
Cette photo a été prise près d'une stèle en mémoire à l'équipage d'un bombardier anglo-canadien (7 jeunes soldats de 23 ans en moyenne), qui s'est écrasé près du Hohrodberg le 7 janvier 1945.
Au début de notre rando (9H), Munster était complètement recouverte par la mer de nuages. Et puis 25 minutes avant cette photo, on a vu un clocher et une cheminée commencer à émerger. Les nuages bas se sont alors peu à peu dissipés. Et puis vers midi, on a vu la mer de nuages de la Plaine d'Alsace venir engloutir Munster à nouveau. Et puis ça s'est dissipé une 2ème fois. Mais jusqu'au soir, il est resté quelques nappes de brouillard. Bref, la mer de nuages a joué au yoyo avec Munster toute la journée, avec 2 marées hautes et 2 marées basses dans la même journée ! 😂
Found this on my hard drive. its from back in November last year when everyone was posting misty woodlands and my shots were just lost in them, so I didn't post. Thought it was worth it now that I found it again
