“A local train from Arosa to Chur crosses the Langwieser Viaduct, Langwies, Switzerland. The train is hauled by an ABe 8/12 "Allegra" EMU.”

"In this New York Central publicity photo a 4-8-2 "Mohawk" steams southbound/eastbound along the Hudson River at Cold Spring, New York with the railroad's "Pacemaker" time freight service in May, 1946.”

Steam 2-8-2 SY #1676 in Baotou, China, 2008 by Ben Kletzer

The spectacular slag dump at Baotou steelworks as seen with SY #1676. At one time, Baotou had dozens of steam locomotives in daily service, but by this point in 2008 only seven SY 2-8-2's remained. Already most of these steam locomotives were idle every day, while a massive fleet of new diesels served the steelworks. The once bustling steam shop was already barren of equipment and awaiting demolition. But all of this could be forgotten while watching a SY struggle with 1200 tons of molten steel on the slag tip. Within a six months, the steel mill would be fully dieselized and SY 1676 would be nothing more than razor blades.

He finally arrived! Bloody post sent him back once, so he took a double journey.

It's been exactly a year since I started this whole modeltrain project!!

Just a sketchy frame and a even more sketchy leg

A year later:

I don't even know how many hours I poured into this project, but I documented alot of it on Instagram and YouTube.

The original plan of a 1.6m diorama, turned into 4.3m of modeltrain layout, with future plans to continue on the other side of the room. Let's see how much progress I can make in 2025

Lempäälän wanha asema 14.5.2024, oma kuva

Asemarakennus rakennettiin v. 1876 ja seisoo edelleen paikallaan. Rakennusta on sittemmin laajennettu, mutta laajennusosatkin ovat jo yli satavuotiaita. Wanha asema ei toimi enää asemarakennuksena.

Old Lempäälä station, May 14th 2024, my photo.

The station building has stood here since 1876. It has been expanded later, but even the expansions are over a hundred years old. It's no longer in use as a station.

Any other trainblogs you'd recommend?

Definitely recommend @norfolk-bastard and @penn-central-official. There is a @mta-official and a @tfl-official but they are pretty inactive. I haven't interacted much with either @advanced-passenger-train or @greatwesternway but they seem cool. I am not actually that active on trainblr. More just do my own stuff.

SUPERBOWL

Let's thank the NFL for the annual excuse to party and celebrate the Southern Pacific's superb Owl passenger train which may not have gone to Las Vegas, but it did unite California from San Francisco to Los Angeles!

The Owl was known on the numberboards as #57 and #58 having been upgraded after WWII from the "Owl Limited" which was listed as train #25 and #26 but all of SP's Owls were superb @espee-southernpacifc

... the prewar superb Owl Limited often was rocking a cab-forward fullback fresh from spring training @aryburn-trains

Sometimes SP's Owl ran in 2 sections...

Anyway, I didn't really do any research or have anything to say -- just want to celebrate this superb Owl on the day of the annual sport event in February! -- scheduled post!
