In wholesome news, Bolt got a Vectron named after him. https://railcolornews.com/2023/11/2...YWUZHssVgIFV_MRLZXd84YHtDsW7j9mC6ZHO_vQkMjdm0
91's have always struck me as very handsome, especially in the Swallow and GNER schemes. It's a shame the blunt ends look so derpy lol.
My first Train Real World video ACS-64 634 Amtrak 137. Does anyone know why the two lights are turned off on this loco despite having the top light Bright setting as required by the Federal Railroad Administration. https://youtube.com/shorts/eQfDxRhQhmI?si=kEjt-VlfxZVkkkyw
Flying Scotsman at Carslie after running The Waverly (Settle - Carslie) Did have a better picture but it was too large to upload
Omg. Found this utterly heartbreaking video on YouTube. This is actually so sad. I feel so so sorry for any train drivers who have experienced this.
A friend of mine, was visiting Boston - USA, so he went for train spotting, and share the following pictures with me: As you may notice, everything is related to Christmas time. Hopes you liked it.
That is very much the exception and not the rule with our railroads. Mainly the tourist railroads do "Santa" trains, Canadian Pacific has their Holiday Train that does fundraising and donates to the less fortunate, and on occasion you get some commuter railroads that will decorate. I'm guessing this was for a special event though, especially with the Acela all decked out.
I came across these in my archives. Some are over 20 years old. Class 55, 40, 47, and a class 33 all came thru Gloucester in 2013 as I was heading home
Very nice! Lol, loved watching this conversation play out! XD I was going to guess but I wouldn't have stood a chance.
Yea, I heard about that. Absolutely disgusting. I'm very glad companies like Hitachi or Siemens haven't started doing that!
This came up on the CBS Morning Show today while I was getting ready for work. Not quite sure how he found his way up to the tracks, but hey, he's now a free man! https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/new...n-nj-transit-tracks-near-newark-penn-station/
Oh my goodness. This takes me back to when I was on holiday in Boston quite some time ago. I remember those trains and the trouble we had of trying to find the right line and so on. Very neat system they've got over there. Thanks for the photo.
Thank you for the answer I also have another one Orange Line CRRC Sifang Qingdao Springfield Massachusetts 1400s The way I would rank the announcers from Boston it would be equal or better than New York City yet equal to the German DB Baureihe 442 (red and silver) 425 423 Doppelstockwagen 767.2 766.2 780 785 642 612 Ingo Ruff. If you compare the Boston Orange Line announcer Frank Oglesby to LGV Méditerranée platform announcer Simone Hérault the longer you listen to Simone's voice you get bored of it on the other hand you would enjoy Frank Oglesby. the same way as how BKL Emma Clarke Deutsche Bahn Ingo Ruff Österreicher Bundesbahn Chris Lohner are liked by the railfan world. The Blue Line runs like the Thameslink SEHS In game due to a voltage change. At airport towards Wonderland you actually switch to OHLE from Third Rail inside the train electric train heating turned off towards downtown Bowdoin OHLE for Third Rail. Between Maverick and the airport station there is a neutral section which means you go through it then stop. I wonder if the devs are capable of doing it. On the green line I would rather have a type 8 Tram due to it being a low floor design with more space than a Type 7 tram. If you put in the baseball rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees the MBTA Type 8 sounds the same as a R142A 4 train

I do not know if someone else has already seen this - as there are 16 pages!...- but this is a very interesting video - and channel - about trains. I believe it is almost unique, as you clearly see how the driver operates the train in Germany! Which is not common! In this case a BR146 with IC paint scheme. There you can see how it operates the locomotive and its systems like AFB and LZB. I have not seen all, but the one I did it, I noticed, he does not use SIFA . Hopes you like it! The best wishes for 2024!
