Coincidence?
Don't worry...no photographers were harmed in the making of this composite image from 4 photographs merged together in Photoshop. Lighting for the photographer/model was achieved using one flash behind camera at half power and a second flash camera right at full power. Both flashes were triggered wirelessly with Pocket Wizards. Flying hat was lit the same way except with a few more attempts to get the best look for the "flip" (note the photographer is a St. Louis Cardinals fan). Original train picture was taken with natural lighting and placed in camera LCD, and second train picture was also taken with natural lighting and was used as the background.
This is a close-up photo of rust and peeling paint on an old train engine at the Musquodoboit Harbour Railway Museum.
Minutos antes de poner rumbo al aeropuerto de Tegel y tomar el avión que me traería de regreso a Valencia (previa escala en Zurich) pude fotografiar este tren de InterConnex, una compañía del grupo Veolia. A caballo entre un tren IC (por el tiempo que tardan el completar el recorrido) y un RegionalExpress (por aquello de la comodidad), operan diariamente un tren por sentido Berlin - Leipzig y otro, también uno por sentido, Leipzig-Berlin-Warnemünde a unos precios sensiblemente inferiores que los que ofrece Deutsche Bahn pero calcando los tiempos de viaje de los ICE o IC de la principal operadora ferroviaria alemana.
Para realizar los servicios antes descritos, InterConnex dispone de una locomotora Traxx y de una rama de seis coches con cabina de conducción iguales al automotor modelo Coradia Lint de la casa Alstom, que permite alojar a 478 personas en clase única y transportarlas a una velocidad máxima de 160 km/h.
Viendo ejemplos como este, me da por pensar que en España el día que se liberalice el mercado de viajeros, se podría ver este tipo de servicios que le hiciese sombra al autobús en recorridos como Madrid - Valencia o entre esta última y Barcelona... pero me parece a mi, que los operadores privados entrarán a degüello en la alta velocidad y casos como el de InterConnex deberemos seguir viajando más arriba de los Pirineos para poder verlos.
Con esta foto cierro ya el ciclo berlinés, por el momento. ;)
Tengo una cuenta pendiente con la línea Cercedilla - Cotos... de momento me quedo con una imagen de la segunda rama de la serie 442 esperando a su próximo servicio en la estación de Cotos. Cuando tomé esta foto, hacía poco que las unidades habían comenzado el proceso de pantonización. Espero que los asientos de sky resistan...recorrer esta traza a bordo de estas UT debe ser interesante.
A two unit South Carolina Central unit train in Bishopville, South Carolina in the pre-Genesee & Wyoming era.
From a monument to the railroad; a 1902 steam locomotive. Pasco, Washington is a railroad hub of the Pacific Northwest.
Paducah, KY
This engine, along with a baggage-mail car and a terminal caboose represent Paducah's railroad heritage beginning with the first railroad line in 1855. Over the next 150 years that 60 mile reach into Tennessee spread north, west, south and east and now involves three major railroad systems.
Over the years, the Illinois Central Railroad has evolved into the Canadian National Railway, a regional railroad connecting Paducah to Louisville and a private company that rebuilds diesel locomotives, adding the latest technology for domestic use and export.
This Mikado was built in 1923 by Lima Locomotives Works for the I.C.R.R. and rebuilt in the Paducah shops in 1940 and 1951 before being donated to the city of Paducah in 1964.

On March 16, 2013, two of Buckingham Branch Railroad's secondhand locomotives sit out the weekend in Staunton, Virginia. The ancestry of BB 13 is interesting.

Vuelvo a “las Alemanias”, así dejo de dar la plasta un poco con Praga…aunque volveré pronto, jejeje.
Cuando no te importa madrugar sin apenas dormir la noche anterior, cuando no te importa salir a la calle aunque nieve como nunca antes lo habías visto y cuando no te importa llegar a la estación y esperar con los pies helados unos 45 minutos a la agradable temperatura de -18ºC porque vas a ver un tren especial…maldices todo lo que puedes maldecir cuando ves que lo han suprimido por un simple automotor. ..al menos te consuelas pensando que no estás allí por obligación y que habrá gente pasándolo peor que tu.
El tren en cuestión se trataba de un servicio especial con material convencional de regionales entre las estaciones de Heilbad Heiligenstadt y Erfurt. La diferencia se encontraba en la tracción, ya que de ella se encargaba la locomotora diesel histórica de la serie 219. Aún me queda una oportunidad más para verlo, y espero que esta vez las previsiones no fallen.

Lancaster and Chester Railroad 3821 was built in 1978 as Conrail GP38-2 8235. In the Conrail takeover, it became Norfolk Southern 5368. NS sold it to Hems Leasing where it became HLCX 3821. Helms leased it to the L&C who then later bought the locomotive.

In 2014, a six axle Johnson Railway Services locomotive sits on the Pickens Railroad in Anderson, South Carolina at Mile Marker 557 of the old Charleston and Western Carolina McCormick to Anderson segment. Pickens took over the part f the line just south of her to Anderson in the 1990s. Most of the rest of the line was abandoned by CSX.
This locomotive was a rare beast in 2014. I was built by General Electric as Burlington Northern Railroad (BN) 5035 in 1979

to Anderson Railgroup (RMGX) 5035

On June 26, 2000 Dad caught this eclectic lash-up in the CSX yard at Etowah, TN. The units are CSX SD70MAC 788 (ex-4143, to CSX 4588), HLCX GP40-3 4409 (ex-AMTK GP40-2 658, xx-BM GP40 321, xxx-CR 3229, nee-PC 3229), CSX GP?? ????, NS C40-9 8881 & CSX C40-8W 7830.
I think I've said it before, but that paint on the Big Mac was my favorite Conrail paint. Amazing what that white did for basic Conrail blue.

A hot summer day in August 1979 finds a Family Lines painted SD40-2, an L&N-painted SD40 and a couple of six-axle GEs hauling a unit coal train through Wolfcoal, Kentucky.
About an hour after pulling into MRL's Helena Yard, a BNSF unit grain train pulls away from the MRL station as a pouring rain falls from the sky.
I was on my way back to my hotel after supper when I saw the gates coming down at the crossing. I rolled down my window and picked up my camera, shooting from the comfort of my pickup truck's cab.
The units pulling this train are BNSF Dash 9-44CW 4038, BNSF Dash 9-44CW 4607, BNSF Dash 9-44CW 781 (in Warbonnet paint) and MRL SD45-2 326 (ex-MRL SD45R 7555, xx-SP 7555, nee-SP SD45 8986).

One of CN SD40 5057's (to CFMG 6906, to ASDX 6906) trucks followed the correct rails but the rear truck slipped the switch and started down the adjoining track. Luckily the crew got it stopped in time without turning the unit over. Wrecker #40020, the "Etowah Wrecker" (as inidcated by the handpainted moniker on the rear of the cab) was moved into place to rerail the engine so it could be moved out of the way.
More Santa trainage that I never processed when I made the shot ten years ago.
From 2006 to 2014, See Lancaster, the local tourist organization for my hometown, along with the Lancaster and Chester Railway, ran Santa Trains on the first weekend of December. New corporate owner curtailed the trains in 2014 citing too much frieght to run otherwise.
LC 3819 was built in 1978 by EMD as Conrail GP38-2 #8230. It then went to Norfolk Southern #5364. NS then sold it t Helms Leasing (HLCX) who renumbered it to #3819 before selling it to the L&C as the same number. A few years after this shot was made, L&C owner Gulf & Ohio Railways then sent the unit to the L&C's sister company Yadkin Valley Railroad as YVRR #3819.
Just behind the 3819 is the former Milwaukee Road “Wisconsin" car. It was built in 1948 as a business car for the Milwaukee Road and is now privately owned.

To celebrate Tennessee's 200th anniversary in 1996 the state leased two old Es from the privately owned Tennessee 200, Inc. and had them painted in a scheme based on the old Louisville & Nashville blue & cream scheme. They were lettered Spirit of Tennessee and while the units were numbered 9913 and 5794, on their numberboard they carried 1996 and 1796, which caused no small amount of confusion. 9913 is in the lead here in Etowah, TN. 9913 was built for the Burlington Route, became a BN unit, was later rebuilt by M-K and leased back to BN before being sold to Tennessee 200, Inc.

I watched the Empire Builder go by twice a day for nearly 10 years. Often I was working when it passed by and I couldn't shoot it, but in October 1997 I took some time off to railfan with my Dad and we caught the Empire Builder running a little late that day.
AMTK 820 & 827 were built as P40DCs and later upgraded to P42 specs.
