Red Star Train, inside an abandoned rail depot in Budapest. One day, she disappeared. Where she is now seems to be a mystery! #Abandoned #SteamTrain #Photography #Budapest #LostPlaces #Trains

🇫🇷 Je parlais ce matin de Belval au Grand-Duché de Luxembourg. Voici quelques photos ferroviaires à Belval-Usines (devenue Belval-Université) en juillet 2004. Bonne soirée. 👋 🇬🇧 I was talking this morning about Belval in Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. Here are a few railway photos in Belval-Usines (now Belval-Univeristé) in July 2004.

🇫🇷 Quelques vues d’Ecosse lors du voyage en juin 2005 dans les Highlands à Kingussie.

Derrière ScotRail se cachent plusieurs opérateurs : jusqu’en 1997, c’était un des secteurs de British Rail, l’entreprise nationale des chemins de fer britanniques. Entre 1997 et 2004, c’est National Express qui était à la manoeuvre et à partir de 1994 jusqu’en 2022, c’était le groupe First qui opérait le franchise. Depuis 2022, ScotRail est de nouveau publique sous l’égide du gouvernement régional d’Ecosse.

  1. Un autorail Class 170 Turbostar toujours dans la livrée “National Express” arrive à Kingussie avec un train vers Inverness.

  2. En gare d’Aviemore, point de départ de la ligne historique du Strathspey Railway vers Broomhill, un couplage d’autorails Class 158 quitte la gare vers Inverness.

  3. En gare de Broomhill sur la ligne préservée.

  4. Manoeuvre de remise en tête de la machine à vapeur en gare de Broomhill sur le Strathspey Railway.

Bonne soirée. 🙂 👋

🇬🇧 Back in June 2005 for a few railway photos from Scotland during my trip to the Highlands in Kingussie.

Several railway operators are hiding behind the brand ScotRail. Until 1997, it was a sector of British Rail, the national company in the UK, from 1997 to 2004 National Express won the franchise for ScotRail, from 2005 to 2022, it was then First that was operating ScotRail services. Since 2022, ScotRail is in public hands again.

  1. A DMU Class 170 Turbostar in National Express livery is arriving in Kingussie with a train to Inverness.

  2. Two DMUs Class 158 are leaving Aviemore towards Inverness.

  3. The station of Broomhill at the end of the preserved Strathspey Railway.

  4. The steam locomotive is shunting to the other side of the train to go back to Aviemore.

Have a nice evening. 👋 🙂

🇨🇭🚆 #Alstom and Transports publics de la région lausannoise (tl) have signed a €295m contract to modernise Lausanne’s m2 #metro. The project will introduce a new communications-based train control (CBTC) system and upgrade the existing train fleet. The train-centric signalling will allow closer train spacing, increasing frequency, capacity and reliability while reducing waiting times. Alongside this, #trains will undergo mid-life refurbishment in Villeneuve, including updated control systems, improved interiors and exterior refreshes, extending their lifespan. The upgrades aim to support rising passenger demand and ensure long-term performance. Works will be phased, with most installation carried out overnight to limit disruption. The agreement also includes technical support to maintain reliable operations during and after the transition. https://www.alstom.com/press-releases-news/2026/5/alstom-modernise-lausannes-m2-metro-new-cbtc-system-and-fleet-mid-life-upgrade

Lovely morning at Mawson with Andrew Braddock, Sam Carter, and my friend Emad. And I’ve run out of flyers thanks to some very pleasant post-stall letterboxing on this fine Sunday. If you also want to see north Tuggeranong and south Woden friends jump on light rail from Mawson park & ride or bike & ride, reducing cars on the road by thousands more each day, you can sign the petition here: https://epetitions.parliament.act.gov.au/details/e-pet-081-25 #actpol #trains #canberra

🇫🇷 Début mai 2006, j’effectuais une visite au musée des chemins de fer néerlandais à Utrecht, quelques impression de la visite il y a 20 ans.

  1. Les autorails DE-I ou “Blauwe Engelen” (Anges bleus) était surnommé ainsi à cause de leur livrée. Ils circulaient sur des lignes secondaires et même en trafic transfrontalier entre Maastricht et Liège dans les années 1970.
  2. Locomotive de la série 1000, les premières machines des NS aux côté des célèbres automotrices “Hondekop” (tête de chien) et une “Sprinter” de première génération.
  3. Instant de rêve devant cette voiture de la Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits de l’Orient-Express.
  4. Une machine de la série 1100 dans son état d’origine, ces machines sont de fabrication française (Alsthom comme l’entreprise s’appelait alors) semblable aux BB 8100 de la SNCF. A côté, on peut apercevoir un bout d’un autorail diesel Mat’34.

🇬🇧 Early May 2006, I visited the National Dutch Railway Museum in Utrecht. A few impressions of that visit 20 years ago.

  1. The DE-I railcars nicknamed “Blauwe Engelen” (Blue Angel) because of their livery. They operated mainly on branch lines but also in International traffic between Maastricht and Liège in the 1970’s.
  2. A Class 1000 Electric locomotive, the first of the NS next to one of the most known EMU in Netherlands : the “Hondekop” (Dog’s head) and a “Sprinter” of the first generation.
  3. Dreaming for a moment with this carriage of the CIWL (International Company of Sleeping-Cars) Orient-Express.
  4. A locomotive class 1100 in original state and livery. They were built by Alsthom (like the company then was named) and are looking identical as some SNCF locomotives too. (SNCF class BB 8100). Next to it, we can see a piece of a DMU class Mat’34.

Going to be an interesting day. A prop plane Timaru to Wellington. A jet plane to Auckland. A bus to a train to Britomart, Te Ara Tahuhu. A walk to the ferry terminal. A ferry to Waiheke Island. I think the forecast is all good. Tally-O! #planes #trains #buses #ferry

What kind of pro-train propaganda is this? Are the recruiting the youth to become commies with their rock music and trains? Someone get Tucker Carlson to frown disappointedly at this whole idea along with a rant by the crazy "frogs are gay" guy in Texas. /satire I actually love this idea. We need more train interviews in the US. https://youtu.be/aEP7JM_qQZQ #music #trains

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! (Keddie Wye, Feather River Canyon, Northern California.) 5/x #Train #Trains #RailRoad #RailWay #RailFan #California #Photography
