Thanks! Now if I want to catch a sunrise so far from where I live, I have to get up much earlier since Daylight Savings Time is ended for the year!

In these pictures, the zoom view is of four containers seen in the wide view, but the BNSF loco
is moving behind the train at 50-60 mph in the zoom view. Only one picture was possible, and it
captured both of the loco's ditch lights, and by only inches on either side. How about that, my friends?

Hi Trainspo Community!

In my first post in this thread I would like to honour the backbone of RhB freight service until middle of this decade.

Now it's time to say goodbye. The old fleet of RhB Ge 6/6 II will retire until middle of this year. On the 9th May of 1958 the first loco with number 701 was put into regular service and not scraped until the beginning of 2021. I only started photographing in the middle of 2019 and my first image of this wonderful old red locos I did not take until the autumn of 2020 sadly.
Hope you like these two images.


Greetings from Switzerland.

@Maersk.146 Thank you.

Due to corona no public historic rail operation with guests are allowed in Switzerland but today (and yesterday) the "Ballenberg-Dampfbahn" was running with the G 3/4 208 narrow-gauge steam loco and historic carriages for instruction trips between Interlaken Ost and Meiringen in the Berner Oberland.

In the 1980s the BLS group (Lötschbergbahn, SEZ, GBS, BN) purchased 22 push-pull sets of the type RBDe 4/4 (now RBDe 565). Until today 21 of 22 are still in regular operation but will be replaced with new step-free access Stadler FLIRT shortly.
In this picture is BLS RBDe 565 727 on its way towards Langnau i.E. Due to construction work, the trains of the lines S4 and S44 were terminating in Uetendorf instead of Thun. In the background is the large village of Uetendorf and a bit further you're able to see the beautiful mountains of the Berner Oberland. Picture was taken in end of February 2021.

Let me know if you're interested in more pictures of the railways in Switzerland 😃

Hello Trainspo Community!

I joined this page recently and I really enjoy it. Im a passionate railway photographer from Switzerland. Below you can find some of my favourite pictures from 2021. If you have questions or any others comments, feel free to ask 🙂


This photo was taken on the Bernina Line. It's part of the Unesco World heritage line leading from Thusis in the Albula valley to the italian town of Tirano. In the picture you can see a pair of "TW III".


This shot was also taken along the world heritage route. Shortly before reaching the town of Filisur, the railway passes the "Schmittentobel" viaduct. The train shown in the picture is the Bernina Express. It features bright panorama coaches which give an amazing view of the surrounding landscape. The train is pulled by a "Allegra" two system Multiple Unit. Its the only type of electric train on the network of the Rheatian Railways which is fitted for both 1,000 V DC (Bernina line from St. Moritz to Tirano) and 11'000 V AC (RhB "Stammnetz").


We're staying in the canton of Graubünden for the next picture. It shows a Be 4/4 push-pull train set between Klosters and Davos. Davos is known for the yearly occurring WEF (Word Economics Forum). The Be 4/4 entered service in 1971 and were back than the first "real" commuter trains in Graubünden. They were used for S-Bahn service in the metropolitan area of Chur. Shortly after this shot was taken, the units retired from regular service.

I hope I was able to give you a small peak of my images. More will come soon.

Greeting from Switzerland
Justin

BNSF 7832 West hauls containers past new corn fields. Palemon, MO, 8 May 2021
For something different, try creating a 3:1-ratio panoramic photo,
either by cropping a single photo or by stitching several together.
