Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) NS 386 of the type Mat '54, plan Q, ElD2 serie 371 - 393, built in 1962 preserved at the Het Spoorwegmuseum / Railway Museum in Utecht Maliebaan former Station. July 15th, 2022.
After the railway company had recovered from the worst war damage, it was time to replace the oldest equipment with new. It is known that in 1958 the last steam train ran with the last wooden carriages. Steam locomotive 3737 and wooden carriage C 5055 of these came into the museum. But even the oldest electrical equipment had had its day. After the war, the ZHE men were no longer in service except for two carriages. And it was done for those two in 1947. The motor vehicle is in the museum as ZHESM 6. From 1956 the Block Boxes were withdrawn from the electric service and in 1959 the last train of this type ran under its own power. This was made possible by the influx of electrical equipment type 1954 (EM '54). 7 train series were ordered:
Plan F: 2-car multiple units 321 - 334: 4-car multiple units 711 - 741: 1956
Plan G: 2 car multiple units 335 - 350: 4 car multiple units 742 - 757: 1957
Plan M: 2 car trainsets 351 - 365: 1958
Plan P: 4-car multiple units 761 - 786: 1959 - 1962
Plan Q: 2-car multiple units 371 - 393: 1962
The equipment was fitted with steel (impact) noses for the cabs to better protect the driver in the event of a collision. Because of that nose the nickname was 'Dog's head equipment'. The equipment stood out because of its good driving characteristics and was therefore ideally suited for the Intercity services between the Randstad and the north and east of our country.
From 1977 they were succeeded in these services by new Intercity rolling stock with continuous heads (ICM).
History of trainset 386:
In 1962 the 2-car train set in the grass green color entered service.
In 1965 she was equipped with ATB.
In 1969 the 386 was slightly modernized, with the conductor's room being converted into a mini kitchen, and a toilet into a new conductor's room.
In 1971 the train set was equipped with 3rd front signals.
In 1977 the 386 received a major overhaul, with the train being painted yellow.
In 1996 the train set was taken out of service and handed over to the Railway Museum.
In 2005 the house style yellow of the exterior was replaced by the original green. The ABDk was placed in the museum and the Bk stored in a shed in Utrecht. '
In 2008, the couple was reunited and made serviceable. As of April 1, 2009 ATB became mandatory for all equipment that travels faster than 40 km/h. Until 2011, the 386 was the only museum train set that ATB owned, with which it provided rides with the Heimwee Express every second weekend of the month.
The Mat '54 'Hondekopvier' Foundation is the owner of the also preserved four-car set 766 of plan P.

A ladybug crawled over the quilt I was displaying at Dean & Friends 5th Annual Show & Sale! I kept taking pictures as she was constantly on the move. With so many photos, I got "Ontario Wanderer" (flickr name)'s to give me technical assistance, so I could have this new quilt!
"What my mother teaches me are the essential lessons of the quilt: that people and actions do move in multiple directions at once."

This is a multiple exposure shot I took for a challenge in the D80 Challenge group. It was my first attempt at this type of photo. It was both interesting and fun to try. One day when I have more time I'll try something a bit more challenging or creative.

Fifteen years ago today, the Wilcox family moved to San Diego. Apart from an 18-month hiatus, my wife lived in the Washington, DC area for about a quarter century, which was most of her adult life in October 2007. I can claim about a decade less residence in and around the Beltway but still a little more time than California—but not much longer, if we don’t vamoose sometime soon.
The city seemed sleepily comfortable for our first 10 or so years here. But since 2016-17, dramatic changes started to accelerate, reaching shocking crescendo during the SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2)/COVID-19 lockdowns—when, if nothing else, cost of housing (buying or renting) exploded upwards.
Building Bonanza
Relaxed zoning rules that encourage multi-unit dwellings anywhere and everywhere transform neighborhood landscapes into crowded cityscapes of mismatched, tightly-packed structures. Our community of University Heights is massively transformed because of new construction and so-called bikeways that usurp parking spaces and create driving hazards along Meade Avenue and Park Blvd.
University Heights overlooks Mission Valley, which population the city plans to increase by 50,000 people before 2050, bolstered by an expansion of 11,200 housing units to 39,200. What infrastructure will support them, I wonder. Consider California’s ongoing drought conditions, if nothing else. Where will the water come from to accommodate such population expansion—and that’s just one small section of San Diego County?
Locally, the clanking and pounding of construction noise is constant, except nights and (sometimes) Sundays. That’s from multiple projects on the same street or blocks away; all reminders of massive transformation being squeezed into a short span of time.
Societal Shift
San Diego is less Navy town and more liberal progressive, culturally, in 2022. One indicator: I see more rainbow flags, even fire hydrants, than the Stars and Stripes. That’s an observational change that bloomed during state-ordered Coronavirus closures, which coincidentally—or not—accelerated after the racial riots and leading up to the Presidential election, during 2020.
Looking back to 2017, when we nearly bought a house in University Heights, I feel like we moved somewhere else all while staying in place—that’s how dramatic are the changes afoot. Besides construction-mania, increasing population-density, and ballooning cost of living, homelessness is endemic and violent crime is up, to name a few concerns.
Change can be bad or good, depending on perspective. Some of my neighbors enthusiastically embrace urbanization that means more breweries, eateries, and shops—and within walking distance. They want more social San Diego. I crave the small town in a big city feel that rapidly disappears.
Fallen Frond
With that, let me explain the photo. This morning, Annie stopped to shoot the fallen frond with her iPhone 13 Pro. She had a good idea, so I followed her example with Leica Q2. Maybe there’s a metaphor here, but my intention is merely to mark a moment with what means something to me: Trees and other flora or fauna that greenly grace or enliven the urban landscape.
The DB Class 101 is a class of three-phase electric locomotives built by Adtranz and operated by DB Fernverkehr in Germany. 145 locomotives were built between 1996 and 1999 to replace the 30-year old and aging Class 103 and 120, primiarily hauling Intercity services. In the early 1990s the current electric locomotives serving the heavy and fast DB (160 km/h+) Intercity services, the Class 103, were wearing out with inceasing numbers of failures and falling traffic availability. Their annual mileage getting on for 400,000 km and they had never been design for the fast, heavy trains. An aggravating factor was the Program DB 90, Fahren auf Verschleiß . This was an effort to cut costs, literally "Drive to Deterioration". In December 1989 a second, Europe-wide bidding process was initiated and some 30 designs wee offered to DB in the 5 to 6 KW range.
ABB Henschel used two class 120s giving them new electric power converters based on GTO-Thyristors, as well as new on-board electronics. 120 004 additionally received flexi-float bogies adapted from ICE (at that time essential fixed carriage formations with a loco power car at each end) units with driving rods instead of pivot pins, disc brakes, and utilising a new biodegradable polyol-ester cooling agent for its main transformer. Both of these reconfigured locomotives covered large distances in regular IC service with availablity.
In December 1994 DB signed a letter of intent with ABB Henschel for an order of 145 locomotives on 28 July 1995. The first class 101 locomotive was ceremonially presented on 1 July 1996. By this time.ABB Henschel had merged with AEG Schienenfahrzeugtechnik to become ADtranz.
There are some interesting design feature to these locos:
The body had to be both as aerodynamic as possible, and at the same time be as cost-effective as possible. For these reasons the designers passed on a front with multiple curved areas. The slope angle was governed by the need to reduce loco – coach distance when coupled to maintain aerodynamic performance.
Large C-scetions are welding in to support the undercarriage euipemnt along with steel plate.The front of the driver's cabs are made from 4 mm thick steel plate. The front window panes can be utilised on either side of the locomotive, and are simply glued into the body without window frame. The roof of the driver's cab is part of the body, not the roof, to give more strength. The four doors on the sides lead directly into the driver's cabs and are made of light alloy.
The side windows in the driver's cab in the class 101 featured pivoted windows, in order to avoid a window well, which can result in corrosion problems. All windows and doors are completely pressurised by means of a special sealant section.
The body side panels are 3 mm thick, and are carried by columnar sections, in between which parts of the cabling channels are laid. The side panels encompass the area from the back end of the driver's cabs up to the beginning of the sloped roof section, which is part of the removable roof sections. The roof is made of aluminium in three separate sections. The fan grills and roof slope area belong to the roof sections, and can be removed as part of the roof, making the entire width of the body available for work on the machinery inside speeding maintenance and lower costs. The roof sections are resting on the side panels, their connecting belts, and the fixed roofs of the driver's cabs, and a floating seal is built into the sections. The roof sections are completely flat for aerodynamic reasons, with the exception of the pantographs, signal horns, and antenna for radio /data communication.
Since everything on the roof is mounted just a little under the top edge of the roof of the driver's cab, almost nothing catches any wind—even a lowered pantograph is difficult to detect. The pantographs are mounted "the wrong way around" with the hinges are pointing inwards to smooth air flow
Another special feature in class 101 units are the bogie side frame covers. They are mounted alongside the frame and cover the area down to the wheel bearings again smooth air flow over the body.
The class 101 were only capable of maximum speeds of 220 kilometres per hour but the bogies were design for 250 to give room for future development.

This is a multiple exposure of two different photos of the same theme placed ontop of each other. I did this by getting two different negatives and placing them in the carrier together, that way when i exposed them and put them through the different chemicals they came out joined. I think the final effect is clever and i didn't expect it to look as good as it came out.
abellio Greater Anglia Class 321 Electric Multiple Unit 321430 still wears the old Grey and White Livery .
It pauses at Platform 10A , Stratford Station , East London . Working 1K90 1814 Liverpool Street to Southend on Sea , Essex . Running 7 mins late , it will be fast to Shenfield , then all stations to the coast .

Govia Thameslink's class 387 Electrostar dual voltage electric multiple unit (EMU) number 387101 comprised of coaches 421101, 422101, 423101 and 424101 with Thameslink branding works 1H66 from Bedford to Beckenham Junction on 23 September 2015. Class 387 EMUs are being temporarily used on this Thameslink route as an interim measure to replace class 319 EMUs that were transferred to Northern Rail. It is said that use of Class 387s will continue until the delayed class 700 EMU contract is delivered at which point the class 387 EMUs will be transferred to First Great Western. 387101 was built by Bombardier Transportation (previously ADtranz) being assembled at Litchurch Lane Works, Derby and entered revenue service on 25 June 2015.
