An increase in PTC interoperability with foreign railroad locomotives has provided for some colorful sets of power on BNSF's busy Southern Transcon. One such example is this clean Canadian Pacific leader on eastbound ocean containers snaking along the red sandstone mesas near the Continental Divide. It's not quite Warbonnet red, but it's a nice change from the constant orange parade!

EN: Not without some teething problems was the introduction of the new Golden Pass Express trainsets which are interoperable on 1000mm and 1435mm gauge rails. After a year in service they are running more or less on time now. Here we see PE4069 hauled by Re 465 012 on the standard gauge section from Interlaken Ost to Zweisimmen. The train has just passed Burgholz.
DE: Nicht ohne Kinderkrankheiten verlief die Einführung des Golden Pass Express - des sowohl auf Meterspur wie auch auf Normalspur einsetzbaren Zuges der MOB. Nach einem Jahr Einsatz laufen die Züge aber inzwischen mehr oder weniger pünktlich. Gezogen von der Re 465 012 hat PE4069 auf seinem Weg von Interlaken Ost nach Zweisimmen gerade Burgholz passiert.
Locomotive 2626 with train 31327 from Contumil to Famalicão, dynamic catenary tests with new interoperable 25 kV pantograph for the Iberian Peninsula.
From 1957 to 1987, cross-border trains of high-quality operated in Europe under the name Trans-Europ-Express and connected the most important cities with each other. The network stretched from Spain to Denmark and from Holland to Austria. There was no standard vehicle, and each country endeavored to develop and use interoperable cross-border vehicles. The trains, most of which were locomotive-hauled, had to be reserved and only had first-class seats.
In addition to the German, French and Italian wagons, the majority of trains in Switzerland were Swiss-made multiple units. For example, RAm TEE type diesel multiple units were used on non-electrified lines to Amsterdam, Paris and Munich and RAe TEE II on the electrified lines to Milan and Paris. Only 5 of each type were built.
The RAe TEE shown here is the last survivor of this era in Switzerland. The RAe TEE II was reconditioned by SBB Historic and is now occasionally used for special trips throughout Switzerland.

If you want to look at a medical paper with pictures, then this is your lucky day! Any doctors want to comment on this study?
“All of the abnormal blood samples of injected persons, the 948 cases, showed tubular/fibrous formations and frequently also crystalline and lamellar formations with extremely complex but consistently similar morphologies across all of the patients with abnormal blood samples. Our results are so similar to those of Lee et al. (2022) that it could be claimed that, except for our innovative application of dark-field microscopy to mark the foreign metal-like objects in the blood of mRNA injections from Pfizer or Moderna, we have replicated the blood work of the Korean doctors with a much larger sample. Our findings, however, are bolstered by their parallel analysis of the fluids in vials of the mRNA concoctions alongside centrifuged plasma samples from the cases they studied intensively. What seems plain enough is that metallic particles resembling graphene oxide and possibly other metallic compounds, like those discovered by Gatti and Montanari (Montanari & Gatti, 2016; Gatti & Montanari, 2012, 2017, 2018), have been included in the cocktail of whatever the manufacturers have seen fit to put in the so-called mRNA “vaccines”. In our experience as clinicians, these mRNA injections are very unlike traditional “vaccines” and their manufacturers need, in our opinions, to come clean about what is in the injections and why it is there.”

Gates Foundation: $200 million to expand global Digital Public Infrastructure:
“This funding will help expand infrastructure that low- and middle-income countries can use to become more resilient to crises such as food shortages, public health threats, and climate change, as well as to aid in pandemic and economic recovery. This infrastructure encompasses tools such as interoperable payment systems, digital ID, data-sharing systems, and civil registry databases.”
