Die roten Eisenbahnsignale und die blau, grau und weiß der Platformschilder sind in den Schienen reflektiert; man sieht die Oberleitung nur in der Silhouette.
For some reason the image is tad soft (it shouldn't be), but electro diesel 74001 seems to be under diesel power as it extracts a GUV and what might be empty stock for a boat train from the carriage siding at Clapham Junction sometime in 1975.

Looking at the South Downs on a Southern electric train to Eastbourne from Brighton.
When trains are good they are a delight. Quiet, superb view, on time and a seat with a table.
When they are bad - well, we all know about that.

New Haven Railroad EP-3 motor 0360 leads a REA-bagggage & mail express train through Sunnyside Yard in Queens, New York, 5-26-1937. You can see the engineer in the cab of the motor. In this area the train is powered by third rail and you can that the pantographs are down on the motor. The actual Sunnyside Yard is located on the right on a lower level area. Much of this area also has catenary installed. The string of heavyweight cars to the right are most likely PRR equipment.

Op Wight bleef van het eens grote spoorwegnet alleen een lijn van Ryde Pier naar Shanklin over, die al jaren wordt geëxploiteerd met materieel afkomstig van London Transport. Inmiddels zeer klassiek en eigenlijk uniek is het "1938 Tube Stock" wat hier dagelijks dienst doet op de lijn. Hoewel al een tijd wordt gesproken over vervanging is dat kennelijk voorlopig nog niet zo ver. Men is stellen aan het reviseren en schilderen. Deze 006 is al geschilderd en heeft het nieuwe "Island Lines" logo op de zijkanten gekregen. Hier vertrekt ze uit Ryde John's Road waar nog gewerkt wordt met klassieke seinen. 04-06-2019 (Erwin Voorhaar)
New Haven Railroad EP-5 Motor 375 leading a passenger train that is operating on the main line through an area of Sunnyside Yard in New York, 1962. You can see the engineer in his cab window ans the cab door is fully opened at both ends of the motor. The "H" lettering on the side of the locomotive cannot be fully seen because of the road grime and dirt built up on the white paint area.
