Yup...no words

Some of this month and last month catches

A follow up to my previous post, here’s the rear locomotives backing out of Thurmond after detaching.

This beauty will have its last trip on May 10th and 11th. It was full of Steampunk and Harry Potter cosplayers today. So maybe check it out if you want some themed photos.

Was suprised to see the "84" as country of registration. But the livery and logos say Belgium

This is a sink in a train compartment. How does it get water ? It even has hot water, how ?

Reopening railways in the UK is a debated topic. Some lines should reopen, but others don't need to. Which line do you think is the most demanded to be reopened? i think the demanded lines have already reopened, those being the Borders railway and East West rail, but who knows?

On the topic of G&W Locos worldwide, here's another from Australia.

Coal mining company Xstrata had a joint venture with UK operator Freightliner to operate coal trains from their mines in the Hunter Valley (north of Sydney) to Newcastle port for export. Xstrata would buy 30 locomotives and a large number of 120t coal hoppers and Freightliner would operate the trains. Xstrata became Glencore, and eventually the train sets were sold to G&W, the new owners of Freightliner.

Rebranding the trainsets with G&W logos, they continued to operate until G&W left Australia in 2019. The Hunter Valley operations are now owned by Magnetic Rail Group and operate under the One Rail Australia branding. Although most of the locos still carry the G&W logo.

This was shot in 2018, and features three XRN/GWU Class (functionally almost identical, they're both C44aci GE products) bound for Newcastle with a loaded coal train for export.

Before you say anything, go to AbandonedRailways.com, there is the Valley railroad which goes through the Raphine-Fairfield, VA area, where I live, go check it out. So one day, I was on my computer after school, but I hear a train horn which I thought was a Norfolk Southern train nearby, then came night I was with my brother, and my sister, playing around and watching a movie, but somewhere around 8 PM I hear this train horn (which was a diesel train horn) and I ask "do y'all hear a train?" they say yes. I ask my mom and she says yes, about 5 minutes later, sounds like a train is up close, around 700-800 FT away (which there is an incline for the trains) and I could hear the railcars. Then about an hour later, boom another train. Letting you know there are ONLY diesel trains in the roster. Anymore information about the railroad?

Curious why this train is special!

And I mean the middle of nowhere too! A random forest in South Wales, even had a little pond!

This thing is leading a local commuter train number 412 (its from 2024)

A full 1 hour ride on the CTA Green Line, from Chicago's West Side to the South Side via the Loop, with a sunset under clear skies.
