The eastbound Rio Grande Ski Train exits Moffat Tunnel at East Portal, Colorado, on March 21, 1997. A pair (only three built and painted for D&RGW) of Rio Grande EMD GP60s power the passenger train, led by No. 3155.
Bland CSX train Q296 with about a thousand autoracks blasts under the Pennsy-era signals at MP 279, just east of downtown Indianapolis. Just look at that non-matching yellow touch up paint on the handrails. Classy!

The Corcovado Train (Portuguese: Trem do Corcovado) is a rack railway in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from Cosme Velho to the summit of the Corcovado Mountain at an altitude of 710 m (2,329 ft). The summit is known for its statue of Christ the Redeemer and its views over the city and beaches of Rio.
The line is 3.8 km (2.4 mi) long. It is a 1,000 mm gauge rack railway using the Riggenbach rack system. I took this shot over the shoulder of our driver as we passed a train descending from the mountain. The rolling stock was built by SLM of Winterthur in Switzerland.
There are four trains, each of two cars. Three of them are used simultaneously. The trip takes approximately 20 minutes and departs every 20 minutes, giving a capacity of 540 passengers per hour. Due to this limited capacity the wait at the entry station can be several hours.
The line has been ridden by many famous people, including Pope Pius XII, Pope John Paul II, Alberto Santos-Dumont, Albert Einstein, Diana, Princess of Wales and myself.

Though there isn`t much snow the ice and the cold on this January day kept most of society home bound.

Now used for tourist for rides through the Northern California Redwoods. It is called the Skunk Traini because back in the old days the fuel smelled like skunk spray.
This was for a trains theme but to later to enter :-)

Ende Jänner bzw. Anfang Feber hat es wieder ordentlich geschneit in weiten Teilen Österreichs. Wenige Tage später setzte jedoch ein Hoch mit jede Menge Sonnenschein durch. Da ich eine Reise zum Obdacher Sattel seit längerem geplant habe, habe ich mich entschlossen, dorthin zu fahren. Mein eigentlicher Plan, mit dem letzten Schnellzug nach Graz und von dort mit dem ersten Zug des Tages nach Zeltweg zu fahren, musste aber ausgesetzt worden da in der NachtTemperaturen um -15 Grad erwartet waren, also kein gutes Wetter für solche Touren inklusive nächtliche Stadtbummeln. Daher habe ich doch ein Zimmer gebucht, obwohl wir jetzt jedes Cent in unsere neue – übrigens erste - Wohnung investieren. Aber wenn man nachts schläft, kann ja ruhig gleich am Morgen losfahren. Gedacht, getan und so gelangte ich am ersten Tag des Toures nach Grünbach am Schneeberg. Wegen akuten Ersatzteilmangel bei den ÖBB fahren jetzt wieder öfter die alte 5047er nach Puchberg, daher war ich ein wenig nervös, ob ein Desiro oder eine 5047er kommt. Zum Glück waren an diesem Tag beide Umläufe mit 5022ern bestückt und so konnte 5022.038 mit dem R 6427 verewigt werden.
The end of January and the very first weeks of February brought large amounts of snow into Austria. Accompanied with days with 8 hours of sunshine, perfect conditions were expected to take a tour to Obdach – a destination that I have been planning to visit for a long time. Initially, I planned to take the last fast train to Graz which arrives there around 1:30 a.m and continue the journey with an early S-Bahn towards Zeltweg. However, as temperatures around – 15 Degrees Celsius were forecasted, I had to rent a room – such temperatures are certainly not the perfect ones to have a tour with a stopover at night. Since I had a room for the night, I decided to start early in the morning – the first destination was Grünbach am Scheenberg. Recently, however, some excitement is associated with tours around Wiener Neustadt as due to the scarcity of spare parts, the Desiros of the series 5022 are occasionally replaced by the ugly old 5047 DMUs. This day, I had a luck as all trains were operated with Desiros. One of them, 5022.038 is passing my spot with R 6427 towards Puchberg.
