Dual purpose railroad vehicle able to travel on both roads and rails. Near McCammon, Bannock County, Idaho.
DR73804 heads west on the down to Port Talbot. Track Mender is what I used to colloquially call them every time l saw them as a boy.
Found these tracks in the snow, had seen them 5 weeks before. Thought maybe a fox was carrying back a quarry to it's den. What would you think it was from? After a week of wondering, the photographer found out what created the tracks, it broke my heart.
14:29, Bergen Station - The 14:58 afternoon train to Oslo is almost ready for boarding. The train is due to arrive at Oslo Central Station at 22:12. The weather is grey with low hanging clouds.
The Bergen Line (Norwegian: Bergensbanen), also called the Bergen Railway, is a 371 kilometres (231 mi) standard gauge railway line between Bergen and Hønefoss, Norway. The name is often applied for the entire route from Bergen via Drammen to Oslo, where the passenger trains go, a distance of 496 kilometres (308 mi). It is the highest mainline railway line in Northern Europe, crossing the Hardangervidda plateau at 1,237 metres (4,060 ft) above sea level.
The railway opened from Bergen to Voss in 1883 as the narrow gauge Voss Line. In 1909 the route was continued over the mountain to Oslo and the whole route converted to standard gauge, and the Voss Line became part of the Bergen Line. The line is single track, and was electrified in 1954-64. The Bergen Line is owned and maintained by the Norwegian National Rail Administration (Jernbaneverket), and served with passenger trains by Norges Statsbaner (NSB) and freight trains by CargoNet. The Flåm Line remains as the only branch line, after the closure of the Hardanger Line. The western section from Bergen to Voss is also served by the Bergen Commuter Rail, and was shortened following the 1966 opening of the Ulriken Tunnel.
The Bergen Railway Station is the main railway station in the city of Bergen, Norway. It is the terminus on the Bergen Railway, and serves trains from Oslo as well as commuter trains from Arna, Voss and Myrdal. Located on the east side of the city centre, the station was opened in 1913, four years after Bergensbanen itself opened, and has four platforms. It replaced the former main station that was located further west.
The station building is one of the grandest in Norway. The architect, Jens Zetlitz Monrad Kielland, also designed Gamlehaugen and the stone buildings at Bryggen. The building has been protected against non-trivial modifications since 2003.

My daughter and I had gone on an outing and I took this pic of her on the railroad tracks. Don't ya just love railroad shots?

This made Explore!
Because I like PaB but not Lego's prefab tracks.
I'd really like to put something on there, but I don't know what. Any suggestions? I'm going train sight-seeing tomorrow. :D
...LLCA still has old light gray and old very light gray in their PickABrick. 0.o
Wheel Swap!!! Time to take the 720s out for a day at the track :)

The section of track laying in the right-of-way gives a glimpse at what the Lurgan Subdivision looked like at the turn of the century. The once double-tracked main is now largely single tracked thanks to a decline in traffic on the former Western Maryland route. D773, the local that works Chambersburg, is seen here heading back to Hagerstown and travels the Lurgan Sub out and back on weekdays. The only other traffic is a twice-daily intermodal train (Q015/Q016) to and from the intermodal facility in Chambersburg. Just past the crossing signals where the train is crossing Leitersburg Road was where a bi-directional WM signal bridge stood (Wingerton); it fell in the years after the second track was removed.
Just had the urge to shop......

Shanghai is gearing up for its first experimental tram service and luckily it is in my area. The last ray of day shone with intensity on the work in progress under the artists' hands.
Here we see an E&LS track inspector checking the condition of the physical plant. Seems he likes the condition of the track as it sometimes leads to "spilled grain"...LOL

Not necessarily my best construction in terms of design, because we are on a generally rectangular construction. Rather, I favored the functional and utilitarian aspect.

Pas forcément ma meilleure construction en terme de design, car nous sommes sur une construction globalement rectangulaire. J'ai plutôt privilégié l'aspect fonctionnel et utilitaire.
There was very bad weather for photography. I used special technique - desaturate picture, use extreme corrections and resaturate picture by original image...
I've updated my BlueBrick schematic track library to version 1.1 incorporating the following updates:
1) Added RC/9V R40 radius half curves
2) Added RC flex track components.
