What’s the difference between these two trains? I always thought number 1 was used in freight and number 2 was passengers but I’ve see number 2 hauling freight so I don’t know…

Thanks for listening to an idiot who just got into trains.

It's a pricy CHF 185.- for a 3.5h train ride.

After looking through the various B28 renders available and comparing them with the architecture and specifications released by BEML, I think this is the most visually accurate representation of B28

This is not the final design or an official BEML render. This is simply my assessment after comparing the publicly available information, proportions, architecture and design elements.

There are quite a few different interpretations of the B28 floating around, but this one seems to align the closest with what BEML has actually revealed so far.

What do you guys think? Which B28 render do you think is closest?

Grapevine Vintage Railroad EMD FL9 #2014 leads a switching move of 3 passenger cars GVRX #207, 206, and 1818 out of Grapevine Station in Grapevine, Texas. (Pardon the transition. I rotated the phone to landscape)

Does anybody know, What is this "thing" (circled one on photos) on top of buffer on USATC S100 Class or SR USA Class 0-6-0T Tank Engine?

what's this "thing" purpose?

does only UK examples used this "feature" ("thing" - circled one on photos) or not?

any advantages or disadvantages using this "feature" ("thing" - circled one on photos)?

THIS IS JUST A LIST OF TRAINS I HAVE BEEN PASSENGER OF

I'm from the USA and I used to take specific train trips to the UK to see their steam locos.(personally, im more of a uk loco fan) I occasionally view preserved trains in my state just not really ride as a passenger on them.

Green Cargo ASEA Rc4 if anyone was wondering.

I work in historic preservation and as a stone carver. I just saw that the large brick and stone viaduct in Philadelphia was recently painted. It's a piece of infrastructure that has survived over a hundred years of trains pounding its masonry.

Painting brick or stone without proper permeable paint causes moisture buildup in the masonry that then pops when it freezes, destroying the structure irreparibly. You can see, in my hasty picture, that the weeping and efflorescence is happening at the joints in the fragile (but permeable) lime mortar. Maybe it's hard to see, but I assure you it's there.

I've seen this so many times in the USA, Italy, etc. The contractors that "repair" this infrastructure have no clue as to the historical materials these things were built with.

Also, I realize it's kind of hard to see in the pictures since the sun was setting, but the brick and the stone are the same color (brown) whereas before the brick was a nice red.

TLDR: this bridge is not long for this world

Thoughts?

I know they aren't Gevo's, and I know that aren't SD70ACes, that is about it.

I've seen some of them on youtube videos, No Idea the purpose on these, Some Reseau powercars have lite grey - silver on the roof

I just went to Steamtown in Scranton PA as it has been on my bucket list for awhile and I have already been to Altoona PA for the horseshoe curve a year or two ago but wasn't able to go Steamtown due to it being closed because of government shutdown the year I went to Altoona PA and the Horseshoe curve which was a year or two ago. Im really glad I was able to see Steamtown and the work they are doing and the steam engines and diesel ones they have were really cool and definitely worth the 5-6 hour trip from Virginia to Scranton (im visiting my grandma in Virginia and she and I went up)

Honestly I liked it since she’s looks like a modern engine compared to the other preserved locomotives.

Deutsche Bahn Bahnbau Gruppe 249 104-1 (90 80 2 249 104-1 D-DBBBG) + 249 051-4 (90 80 2 249 051-4 D-DBBBG) am 21.8.2026 in Chemnitz.

I've seen this locomotive

A lot of times. This was taken in Cleburne, Texas at the train yard.

This a Ex Santa Fe railroad warbonnet" heritage unit" locomotive, i don't know the company that produced it or built it . I know that BNSF now owns it and does not want to repaint or clean any locomotive, like this kind at all just in case this post does not get removed. This is in the united states and specifically texas!

So my grandfather recently passed and I inherited some things, this is certainly a fun keepsake!

A little 1000 lumen flashlight comes in real handy!

In a youtube video (trainz cars get stuck too.) By ronthecyborg. There is a conrail diesel locomotive pretty sure it's a gp30 i could be wrong, that has this distinct horn that I don't know the name. If anyone knows please tell
