🇫🇷 La visite des ateliers des CFL à Luxembourg-Bonnevoie était :

  • tip top au niveau organisationel
  • hyper intéressante même pour l'amateur aguerri et cheminot que je suis.
  • L'occasion de voir que les CFL, malgré leur petite taille sont une entreprise publique performante, innovante, à la pointe et efficiente, n'en déplaise aux chantres néo-libéraux de l'UE et leurs discours que seule la libéralisation peut apporter du bon sur le rail en Europe.

Ainsi, tout au long de la journée, on a pu regarder les trains droit dans les yeux, sous leurs jupes et au coeur de la salle des machines. Ce ne sont que trois photos de la grosse centaine réalisée. Je tâcherai de faire un article de blog plus détaillé et publierai d'autres photos plus tard.

En outre, quelques "goodies" et un support pour smartphone qui est aussi un coussinet anti-stress gagné à la "roue de la fortune" en plus d'un bon d'achat de 5 EUR pour le Cactus Shoppi en gare.

Bref, une chouete journée à l'écart du smartphone et des réseaux et des échanges entre humains, ça fait du bien aussi de temps en temps!

Bonne soirée. 👋

🇬🇧 The visit to the CFL workshops in Luxembourg-Bonnevoie was:

  • tip top at the organizational level
  • super interesting even for the old amateur and railway worker that I am.
  • The opportunity to see that the CFL, despite their small size, is a high-performance, innovative, at the top of the technology and an efficient public company, even if the neo-liberals at the EU say that a liberalized market can bring good things to the rail in Europe.

Thus, throughout the day, we were able to look the trains straight in the eye, under their skirts and in the heart of the engine room. These are just three photos of the hundred or so taken. I will try to do a more detailed blog post and post more photos later.

In addition, some "goodies" and a smartphone holder which is also an anti-stress ball won at the "wheel of fortune" in addition to a 5 EUR voucher for the Cactus Shoppi (a shop at the station).

In short, a nice day away from smartphones and networks and with lots of exchanges between humans, a good thing too!

Good evening. 👋

Union Pacific No.4014 "Big Boy," a 4-8-8-4 steam engine, rolling along the southern edge of the Black Rock playa in Nevada yesterday morning. I'm off to try and catch the 4014 crossing the Clio trestle tomorrow morning. There's a forecast for rain and the humidity will be high. High humidity makes for nice steamy steam engines! 2/x #Train #Trains #RailRoad #Railway #RailFan #UP4014 #BlackAndWhite #MonoChrome #Photography #Darktable

The Union Pacific No.4014 "Big Boy," a 4-8-8-4 steam engine built in 1941, rolling over the Clio Trestle on the historic Feather River Route in Northern California this morning. I was hoping for some steam action because it was cool and humid, as compared to two years ago when the 4014 last traveled this route, but I didn't expect this! 3/x #Steam #SteamEngine #RailFan #Travel #Railway #RailRoad #Train #Trains #BlackAndWhite #MonoChrome #Photography #Darktable

It was a challenging day chasing the UP No.4014. It was very slow coming up the hill in the Feather River Canyon. By the time it got in the area where I was, it was late in the day and the light was fading fast. With the rain, and snow further up the hill, the 4014 was really blowing steam!
