Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
The Spirit heading west. The "Spirit of the Outback" heading east from Barcaldine to Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia.
I travelled on the train (then called the Midlander) as a kid and record it in different locations whenever I visit my home town - Barcaldine, Queensland. The reason is, I wonder how long the service will be supported by the Queensland Government, especially as the current rollingstock is at the end of its life - 30 years.
Now called the Spirit of the Outback, it has been a favourite with Australian and international travellers alike for 10 years, due to the social atmosphere onboard and the spectacular views afforded throughout the 24 hour journey.
The 1,300 km journey between Brisbane and Longreach offers a unique insight into the history and culture of early Australia.
The 'Spirit of the Outback' ventures through the heritage towns of Blackwater, Emerald and Barcaldine (home of the Worker's Heritage Centre) before arriving in Longreach, home to the famous Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame, Qantas Founders Museum and the Outback Heritage Centre.

Take during an organized walk with some friends. We met, to take some pictures of the various under ground stations here in Munich.
Goal was to take pictures of several stations within Munic. There is even an dedicated group on flickr, www.flickr.com/groups/u-bahn-muenchen/
For this trip, we decided on line U2, starting from the final stop Feldmoching towards main station. This photo, taken at the station Feldmoching is under exposed about 2 steps in order to highlight the open doors with LED stripes at the newer car models in Munich. Additionally, the station itself was lit a little bit on the dark side. Also recognizable, the windows of the train are covered with foil or treated somehow, because there is little light transmitting from the inside of the car.
A crowded passenger train can be seen leaving Dhaka with a burgeoning load of human cargo.

Thank you very much for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers.

At sunrise on the last day of the Christmas trip, a few hours were spent in Fieberbrunn, primarily to capture the TUI ski train, which never showed up. Anyway, here we see OBB locomotive 1144 121 with the 08:21 service from Innsbruck to Graz (IC515) on the bitterly cold frosty morning of the 7/1/23.
The railway station of Kelenföld was almost empty, when I arrived, only this impressive freight train was waiting for its departure to the direction of the railline Nr.40. It was headed by 2 Aseas of the Train Hungary, moreover the shiny 704th Asea helped on the rear as a pusher.

Nákladní vlak převážející námi (během našeho pobytu v Chile) pojmenované vozy tzv. „baňky“, které míří k nakládce do dolu San Cristobal v Potosi v Bolívii, z Chilského přístavu v Mejillones na západním pobřeží. Tento vlak musí přejet ze samého západu Chile na východ. Ve vozech se převáží především zinko-stříbrný a olověno-stříbrný koncentrát k exportu do světa.
Více info o dole a provozu:
V povrchovém dole San Cristobal se těží zinko-stříbrný a zinko-olověný koncentrát. Důl vyprodukuje přibližně 1300 metrických tun koncentrátu zinku a stříbra a 300 tun koncentrátu olova a stříbra denně, za rok to dělá přibližně 600 000 vytěžených tun koncentrátů. A i když se nepovažují vytěžené materiály za výrazně kvalitní, jejich těžba probíhá dále. Jedná se tak o jeden z největších dolů Bolívie, celkově na světě se jedná o šestý největší zinečný důl a je třetím největším producentem stříbra. I když se v dole těžilo i dříve, jedná se poměrně o mladý důl, kde se těžba naplno rozjela teprve v posledních letech a s přepravou po železnici do přístavu v Mejillones se začalo v roce 2007 (první vlak 22. září 2007). První zásilka putovala do Japonska a její objem byl 4000 metrických tun bolivijských minerálních koncentrátů.
„Vlečku“ z dolu San Cristobal vybudovala sama firma vlastnící důl. Jedná se o železnici o rozchodu 1 metr, o délce trati 65 km. Na státní trať Uyuni – Ollagüe se napojuje u Río Grande. Pak již po státní trati pokračují vlaky dále na západ k Chilským hranicím přes městečko Julaca, Chiguana a končí v hraniční stanici Avaroa což je přibližně 100 km od výhybny Río Grande. Předání nákladu probíhá až na Chilském území v Ollagüe (cca 4,5km od Avaroa). Ve stanici Avaroa však vlak vyčkává nežli dostane souhlas s vjezdem do Ollagüe a to je povětšinou v době, kdy do Ollagüe dorazil vlak z vnitrozemí Chile.
Mestečko Julaca, jsme měli možnost navštívit, zde krom místního krámku s pivem z kaktusu se doslova zastavil čas. Nás zde zaujala polozbořená stanice a odstavené skříňové vozy. Na závěr překvapila přijíždějící MUVka od Uyuni, kterou jsme zde opravdu nečekali. Nákladních vlaků, které touto stanicí projíždění jsme se nedočkali.
Plná souprava vlaku musí z dolu do přístavu urazit přes 600 kilometrů a vystoupat do nadmořské výšky 4000 metrů nad mořem. Cesta vlaku zabere více než jeden celý den.
Na každém voze jsou naloženy dvě „baňky“ (v překladu kontejnery), ložené 21 tunami koncentrátů stříbra, zinku nebo olova (olověno-stříbrný koncentrát je o něco lehčí a má váhu 17,6 tun v jedné baňce). Tyto kontejnery jsme potkali v dvou barevných kombinacích a to červené nebo bílé. Celkově se za rok převeze více jak 700 tisíc tun koncentrátů.
Po příjezdu vlaku do přístavu Mejillones jsou válcové kontejnery vyloženy v uzavřené budově, odtud jsou koncentráty přepraveny pomocí pásů v uzavřených chodbách do skladovací budovy. Na loď jsou koncentráty transportovány v uzavřeném systému po dopravním pásu dlouhém cca 700metrů, aby se zabránilo znečištění a poškození okolní krajiny a životního prostředí.

Un tren de carga que transportaba lo que (durante nuestra estadía en Chile) llamamos los llamados vagones "frasco" que se dirigía a la carga en la mina San Cristóbal en Potosí, Bolivia desde el puerto chileno de Mejillones en la costa oeste. Este tren debe cruzar desde el extremo oeste de Chile hacia el este. Principalmente, los concentrados de zinc-plata y plomo-plata para exportar al mundo se transportan en vagones.
Más información sobre la mina y la operación:
La mina a cielo abierto San Cristóbal produce concentrados de zinc-plata y zinc-plomo. La mina produce aproximadamente 1,300 toneladas métricas de concentrado de zinc-plata y 300 toneladas métricas de concentrado de plomo-plata por día, lo que hace que se extraigan aproximadamente 600,000 toneladas de concentrado por año. E incluso si los materiales extraídos no se consideran de calidad significativa, su extracción continúa. Por lo tanto, es una de las minas más grandes de Bolivia, en general la sexta mina de zinc más grande del mundo y el tercer productor de plata. Aunque la mina ha sido explotada anteriormente, es una mina relativamente joven, donde la minería ha despegado a pleno rendimiento en los últimos años y el transporte ferroviario al puerto de Mejillones comenzó en 2007 (primer tren el 22 de septiembre de 2007). El primer envío fue a Japón y su volumen fue de 4.000 toneladas métricas de concentrados minerales bolivianos.
La "esclusa" de la mina San Cristóbal fue construida por la propia empresa propietaria de la mina. Se trata de una vía férrea de 1 metro de ancho con una longitud de vía de 65 km. Se conecta con el límite estatal Uyuni-Ollagüe en Río Grande. Luego, ya en la línea estatal, los trenes continúan más hacia el oeste hasta la frontera con Chile por la localidad de Julaca, Chiguana y terminan en la estación fronteriza Avaroa, que se encuentra aproximadamente a 100 km del desvío Río Grande. La entrega de la carga se realiza en el territorio de Chile en Ollagüe (aprox. 4,5 km de Avaroa). En la estación de Avaroa, sin embargo, el tren espera hasta que recibe la aprobación para ingresar a Ollagüe, y esto suele ser en el momento en que un tren del interior de Chile ha llegado a Ollagüe.
Tuvimos la oportunidad de visitar el pequeño pueblo de Julaca, aquí, aparte de la tienda local con cerveza de nopal, el tiempo literalmente se detuvo. Aquí nos atrajo la estación medio demolida y los furgones estacionados. Al final, nos sorprendió el MUVka que llegaba de Uyuni, lo que realmente no esperábamos aquí. No vimos los trenes de carga pasando por esta estación.
Un tren completo debe recorrer más de 600 kilómetros desde la mina hasta el puerto y ascender hasta una altitud de 4.000 metros sobre el nivel del mar. El viaje en tren dura más de un día completo.
Cada automóvil está cargado con dos "frascos" (traducidos como contenedores), cargados con 21 toneladas de concentrados de plata, zinc o plomo (el concentrado de plomo y plata es un poco más liviano y pesa 17,6 toneladas en un frasco). Encontramos estos envases en dos combinaciones de colores, rojo o blanco. En total, se transportan anualmente más de 700.000 toneladas de concentrados.
Una vez que el tren llega al puerto de Mejillones, los contenedores cilíndricos se descargan en un edificio cerrado, desde donde se transportan los concentrados mediante fajas en pasillos cerrados hasta el edificio de almacenamiento. Los concentrados se transportan al barco en un sistema cerrado a lo largo de una cinta transportadora de aproximadamente 700 metros de largo para evitar daños al paisaje y al medio ambiente.

A freight train carrying what we (during our stay in Chile) named the so-called "flask" cars heading for loading at the San Cristobal mine in Potosi, Bolivia from the Chilean port of Mejillones on the west coast. This train must cross from the very west of Chile to the east. Mainly zinc-silver and lead-silver concentrate for export to the world are transported in wagons.
More info about the mine and operations:
The San Cristobal open pit mine produces zinc-silver and zinc-lead concentrate. The mine produces approximately 1,300 metric tons of zinc-silver concentrate and 300 metric tons of lead-silver concentrate per day, making it approximately 600,000 tons of concentrate mined per year. And even if the extracted materials are not considered to be of significant quality, their extraction continues. It is thus one of the largest mines in Bolivia, overall the sixth largest zinc mine in the world and the third largest producer of silver. Although the mine has been mined before, it is a relatively young mine, where mining has only taken off in full swing in recent years and rail transport to the port of Mejillones began in 2007 (first train on 22 September 2007). The first shipment went to Japan and its volume was 4,000 metric tons of Bolivian mineral concentrates.
The "sluice" from the San Cristobal mine was built by the company owning the mine itself. It is a 1 meter gauge railway with a track length of 65 km. It connects to the Uyuni-Ollagüe state line at Río Grande. Then, already on the state line, the trains continue further west to the Chilean border through the town of Julaca, Chiguana and end at the border station Avaroa, which is approximately 100 km from the Río Grande turnout. The delivery of cargo takes place on the territory of Chile in Ollagüe (approx. 4.5 km from Avaroa). At Avaroa station, however, the train waits until it receives approval to enter Ollagüe, and this is usually at the time when a train from the interior of Chile has arrived at Ollagüe.
We had the opportunity to visit the small town of Julaca, here, apart from the local shop with cactus beer, time literally stopped. Here we were attracted by the half-demolished station and parked boxcars. At the end, the arriving MUVka from Uyuni surprised us, which we really did not expect here. We did not see the freight trains passing through this station.
A full train set must travel over 600 kilometers from the mine to the port and climb to an altitude of 4,000 meters above sea level. The train journey takes more than one full day.
Each car is loaded with two "flasks" (translated as containers), loaded with 21 tons of silver, zinc or lead concentrates (lead-silver concentrate is slightly lighter and weighs 17.6 tons in one flask). We found these containers in two color combinations, red or white. In total, more than 700,000 tons of concentrates are transported annually.
After the train arrives at the port of Mejillones, the cylindrical containers are unloaded in a closed building, from where the concentrates are transported by means of belts in closed corridors to the storage building. The concentrates are transported to the ship in a closed system along a conveyor belt approximately 700 meters long to prevent damage to the landscape and the environment.
Haven't seen this Asea locomotive for a long time, but yesterday the ice has broken, as it approached the railway station of Kelenföld. I was leaving the place, but as a result of it I could catch the loco in a more natural composition.

Without pulling a train, the Asea loco of TH could easily reach its maximum velocity in the direction of the capital. I caught it at Budaörs, while it was glistening in the strong, late winter sunlight.

After travelling overnight from Sweden via Germany, then into Austria and appearing at this location running in excess of 3 hours late, here we see privately owned 111 223 working the 14:40 departure from Malmo to Innsbruck (D305). The train was captured passing through Kirchberg in Tyrol, Austria on the afternoon of the 7/1/23.

As a heavy downpour caused mudslide at Dömösi átkelés on the line No.70 in Hungary, the transit traffic from this mainline were diverted to the line No.1. Train Hungary's 615th Asea also pulls a diverted loaded log train towards Romania near Törökbálint.

The National Railway Museum has an interesting collection of railway rollingstock. On the left of this shot a "Red Hen" railcar which were the backbone of Adelaide's metropolitan rail system from the late 1950s until the early 1990s.
On the right, TV-Class Tank Car No.4872 used by The Vacuum Oil Company for carriage of petroleum products on the broad gauge South Australian Railway network. The Vacuum Oil Company began operating in Australia in 1895, introducing its Plume brand of petrol in 1916. The Flying Red Horse (Pegasus) logo was introduced in 1939, and in 1954, the Plume brand was replaced by Mobilgas. I have a faint recollection of the Plume brand.
