Foreign power leading an Intermodal far from home. Loco: NS ES44AC (Horseshoe Curve) Route: Cajon Pass
Ok stupid newbie question… What is “Trains on diversion”? I’m not getting the correlation between the topic (by definition) and the photos. Is diversion meaning something different here?
Route: Glasgow Cathcart Circle Trains: BR Class 314 SCR and BR 101 BLG Two sets of 101s have been hired by ScotRail to operate extra services on the Circle today

An ICE service on diversion passing Hagen-Westerbauer from Hagen Hbf to Wuppertal Hbf. Route: Rhein-Rhur Osten Loco: DB BR 406
^^ To be honest i am also not sure whats the point of this task? I am not native speaker and when i translate it so diversion means something like reroute or railway switch. But when i look at the posted pictures some of them fit the criteria but some not. Not sure if some trains are in places/routes where they usually do not in service? Can someone clarify this?
Class 375 Victoria - Ramsgate service Diverted via Dartford for weekend engineering works. Sehs 375 and 465
My understanding is a train on a route where you wouldn't expect it to be on and some photos fit that definition but DTG Jamie, can you clarify this for BLRy and Fear-Factor, thanks

Route: West Cornwall Local Train: Class 37/5 RSR Originally timetabled to conduct ballast renewal along the Atlantic Coast Line to Newquay, Railfreight Class 37667 races west through Truro in the UK. The locomotive and its Seacow wagons are instead being diverted for emergency repairs near Penzance following a night of heavy rainfall that washed away some track.

Yeah that's a great shot, definitely a deserving winner! I was slightly confused by the theme, I thought it meant trains going opposite directions or paths to each other, but I realise now it was just supposed to be trains being diverted to a different line, whether that be because of track maintenance, an emergency, or schedule conflicts.
