I failed to get up and go train chasing this morning. 🫤 But here's a last shot I made of it on Sunday. It was nearly dark. Also, this was the closest I ever got to the 4014 when it was in motion. That's one big chunk of iron to have blowing by you ~20ft away!
(Williams Loop, Feather River Canyon, California.)

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.)

The nice and steamy Union Pacific No.4014 "Big Boy," a 4-8-8-4 steam engine built in 1941, rolling through the Sierra along the historic Feather River Route in Northern California this morning.

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!

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!

It seems there are a lot of autistic people on Mastodon. And autistic people like trains, right? Yet I don't find a lot of train-related content on the Fediverse.
In an attempt to change that, I have made a railfan Pixelfed account @railfan where I post pictures of trains and infrastructure, mostly from southern Denmark (living near the border, there will be German trains as well).
You can follow Pixelfed accounts from Mastodon, you don't need another account. However, Mastodon only shows the first four pictures, so for large post you may need to select open in browser to see more pictures.

Oh heck yeah, I just passed this but didn’t have time to snap a photo, so this is from Trains.com.
I was wondering when they were going to get to this paint scheme (and why they did conrail before this one was beyond me)

“The LRV in Winter“
A slippery but picturesque commute in from the East Side. At least it’s not the Shoreway in lake effect conditions. #transit #RTA #Cleveland #railfan -
Confirmed sighting of the new #Amtrak #Acela trainsets in #Boston. There's still plastic wrap on the seats, and the old Acela in the background is the one running service today, but by God we might have the #AveliaLiberty running service soon enough!

Now can confirm that the tracks are pulled and excavators are munching away on the railroad berm; spoils are hauled away in a parade of double-trailer trucks. Pedestrians can still gawk for now from the park drive, but not sidewalk.
Amtrak vehicles also buzzing around the Lake Shore Dr. siding but the new switch waiting nearby hasn't moved.

In addition to being a #straphanger, Pope Francis was a #railfan.
Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, he was the son of a railway worker in #Argentina.
"In 2015, one of #Italy’s railway unions made him a member – an honour he quietly renewed each year."

🇫🇷 Un avant-goût d'un prochain article sur Friendica : le pittoresque village de Monreal dans l'Eifel en mai 2002. A cette époque, ce sont de petits autorails légers RS1 de TransRegio qui desservent l'Eifelquerbahn (transversale de l'Eifel) entre Anernach et Kaisersesch.
Bonne soirée! 🙂 👋
🇬🇧 The picturesque village of Monreal in the Eifel in May 2002. In that time, the railway was served by TransRegio which used RS1 railcars on the Eifelquerbahn from Andernach to Kaisersesch.

🇫🇷 Finalement, je me suis tenu à mon programme, reste la dernière partie, la lecture qui viendra après ce message. 🙂
Quelques photos ferroviaires faites lors de déplacements sur le terrain lors de ma formation en 2005 où en quelques jours, nous avions été voir de plus près diverses installations et procédures des réseaux étrangers limitrophes.
La gare de formation de Forest-Voitures est responsable pour les rames qui viennent garer depuis Bruxelles-Midi comme cet EuroNigt "Jan Kiepura" qui très brièvement (deux ans à peine) relia Bruxelles à Varsovie emmené par la locomotive polycourant de la série 16.
A Tournai, nous avions été voir les automotrices AM96 bi-courant (tranche 441-490) qui officient encore de nos jours sur les trains entre Tournai et Lille-Flandres. Ce fut aussi l'occasion de photographier deux diesel 77-78.
Enfin, nous avions été à Maastricht pour voir la procédure de départ des trains aux Pays-Bas et là, c'est un charmant petit locotracteur vert de Nedtrain que j'avais croisé.
Passez une bonne soirée! :-) 👋
🇬🇧 I could make everything I had on my list today, reading comes after I have posted this message. 🙂
During my schooling, we did make a visit at every neighbours networks to see installations and processes in railway operations.
Forest-Voitures/Vorst-Rijtuigen is the yard responsible for all trains ending or starting from Brussels-Midi like the ephemere EuroNight 349 "Jan Kiepura" that joined for a short time Brussels with Warsaw worked by oldtimer Class 16 which was capable of operating under 4 different voltages.
In Tournai, we had a look at the dual voltage EMU Class AM 96 (Nrs. 441-490) which still operating trains to Lille-Flandres in 2025. I also could photograph two Diesel Locomotives Class 77-78.
Finally, we went also to Maastricht to see how trains depart in the Netherlands and I could photograph that nice green shunter from Nedtrain.
Have a nice evening. 🙂 👋

🇫🇷 Pour les amateurs de trains du BeNeLux et qui se débrouillent en anglais, voici que grâce aux Grenier Ferroviaire, je découvre un groupe d'amateurs anglais. C'est un groupe tel qu'on en trouvait au début d'Internet mais les vieilles recettes sont souvent les meilleures : https://groups.io/g/BeneluxRailGen Ce groupe est également disponible en tant que flux RSS!
Sur le site du grenier ferroviaire, on peut en outre retrouver les listes (de matériel) de Iain Dobson et son "Ramble", une sorte de newsletter avec un résumé des informations ferroviaires : https://www.tassignon.be/trains/documentation/documentation.php#ramble
🇬🇧 For railway enthusiasts who are interested in BeNeLux railways, I just discovered via the "Grenier Ferroviaire/Spoorse Zolder" a english group with lots of informations. It's a group like we use to know at the begining of Internet but old recipes are often the best ones! So, if you like here it go (also available as RSS feed!) : https://groups.io/g/BeneluxRailGen
Iain Dobson "Ramble" and "Current lists) are also available on the Grenier Ferroviaire/Spoorse Zolder : https://www.tassignon.be/trains/documentation/documentation.php#ramble

🇫🇷 Il y aura d'autres photos de mes pérégrinations bruxelloises demain, ici, et bientôt avec un plus long article sur ma page Friendica...
Pour terminer la journée, deux photos de tramways le long du canal : une vénérable motrice 7900 pratiquement cinquantenaire et une rame moderne...
Passez une bonne soirée! 🙂 👋
🇬🇧 There will be more photos from my peregrinations in Brussels, here, tomorrow and soon on my Friendica page...
Last two photos for tonight with those two tramways alongside the "Canal" : a venerable almost 50 years old PCC car 7900 and a modern one...
Have a good evening

🇫🇷 Ce soir, direction la côte de l'East-Sussex à Newhaven et retour en février 2005. A cette époque, outre les omniprésentes rames Electrostar, on pouvait encore croiser des rames "Slam doors" de la série 423/1. 🙂
Passez une bonne soirée!
🇬🇧 Tonight, let's go the East Sussex coast in Newhaven and back in February 2005. In that time, the Electrostar EMUs were the new normal but an old "slam doors" Class 423/1 unit could also be spotted. 🙂

Two of my coworkers took #Amtrak's new (temporary) service for its inaugural run all the way from Chicago to Miami a few days ago.
All 48+ hours of it.
In coach, because public media isn't exactly flush with cash.
Here's what they saw and experienced along the way:

🇫🇷 Bienvenue à Clapham Junction, la gare la plus fréquentée du Royaume-Uni! C'est ce qui est indiqué sur les quais.
En novembre 2004, lorsqu'aller au Royaume-Uni ne nécessitait qu'une carte d'identité, j'avais fait une journée de "trainspotting" à Londres. Le trainspotter, est un amateur de trains qui note dans de petits carnets les numéros des rames mais par extension les photographie aussi. Et il y en avait des amateurs au bout des quais! Cela reste un souvenir mémorable car avoir autant de trains sur une seule vue, c'est vrai que c'est impressionnant! Les trains sont bien électriques, il sont alimentés par troisième rail. A cette époque, il y avait encore les fameuses rames "slam doors" (portières manuelles). Une brochette de rames modernes et plus anciennes est représentée ici.
🇬🇧 Welcome to Clapham Junction, Britain's busiest railway station. That's what stands on the platforms signs.
In november 2004, travelling to the UK was very easy, an ID-Card only was required. I decided to make a day abroad to London to go "trainspotting". A trainspotter ist a railway enthusiast who notes train numbers, study history, ... but it is also someone who take pictures of trains. There were lots of trainspotters there when I arrived in the early afternoon. This is one of the memorable spotting experience because seeing so many trains in a few hours was really extraordinary. In that time, the "slam doors" EMUs were also still in revenue service. Note that the trains are running with electricity provided by third rail. A bunch of old an new EMUs are pictured here.

🇨🇵 Inoui!
Non, pas la photo, c'est le nom curieux donné aux TGV... Ambiance matinale avec ce TGV vers Marseille en decorum en gare de Luxembourg. Par contre, toujours surpris du résultat obtenu avec un smartphone...
Passez un bon vendredi!
🇬🇧 Inoui!
That's the name the French gave to their HST... Early atmosphere in Luxembourg with this TGV to Marseille in Background. I'm still impressed of what smartphones can achieve today in photography...
Have a good friday!

🇫🇷 En 1989, les sociétés nationales de chemins de fer coopéraient dans le cadre du réseau EuroCity, voulu comme successeur du réseau TEE (Trans Europ Express). C'était aussi avant les Thalys et autres TGVs entre L'Allemagne, La Belgique, Les Pays-Bas et la France. Nous voici en gare de Charleroi-Sud (aujourd'hui Central) avec l'EuroCity 40 "Molière" Dortmund - Paris via Köln - Aachen - Liège et Namur. La locomotive est une "polytension" capable de circuler aux Pays-Bas, en Belgique et en France. Elle a remplacé une autre locomotive lors du tête à queue à Liège-Guillemins.

Pues no sé nada sobre esta foto, sin embargo me encanta un poco. La hallé hace años, creo que en una tienda anticuaria. Carece totalmente de metadatos pero así es hasta mejor, ¿no? Atrás nada más dice, “Kodak: Official Sponsor of the Olympic Games.”
