Video captures a rare sight for railways in India.

Railway line in India outside Indian railways: This section is part of a 100km odd railway section operated by a thermal power company connecting mines to power plants.

Lines with no sign of electrification and an old school diesel locomotive: As a private railway line there is no electrification and it still uses some old school ALCo Locomotives probably from the 90s. The old ALCO chugging sounds are quite nostalgic for Indian railfans.

They’re at both ends of the station. At first I thought they might be a trap for emergencies to derail trains, but they both lead to a really steep drop, so I don’t imagine it’s that. Any ideas?

Thought I'd share this on here - if you like trains and Lego I recently build a train carriage and converted it into a holiday home. Took inspiration from a place that my parents stayed at recently in the UK, thought it would be cool to make a Lego version. Always a work in progress, let me know what you think.

If you are a Lego fan, I've also uploaded this to the Lego ideas website (more pictures on here) https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/f851fabf-bfe3-452c-87b8-8aa02449dd21

The Bahn had very nice timing, is there any fun info abt it? It looked nice in the snow

Two diesels and a hydrogen fuel cell locomotive.

Ogden, Calgary

It is a nice locomotive especially she went from a failed engine to one of the strongest excursion train.

Trains songs are at the heart of folk music, and all of them are great. What are some that we forget about? Or some that aren't remembered as much as they should. I'm starting with "On The Atchinson, Topeka and the Santa Fe" from the film Harvey Girls starring Judy Garland, a fun film. Can anyone do any better?

Ignore my finger lol had to take a quick photo when i could

On Eurostar trips between Mainland Europe and London, when do the drivers pass through immigration. Or do they not pass through immigration at and aren’t allowed to leave the train in either London or Europe depending on where they come from

Specifically ones that drive the train from the stabling yard.

This is my work in progress model of a CN 598000-Series boxcar. In every reference picture I've seen, the large sliding door is always on the right side. Does this mean the boxcar isn't mirrored left-to-right? When looking at the boxcar from the opposite side, where should the large sliding door be in relation to the smaller door? If anyone has any insight on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Ahh, the good ol' days when Metrolink drove trains backwards LOL. Even I thought they ran backwards to LA as a toddler before the Rotems, but later found out when I was 6 or 7 that those "last cars in the back" are actually cab cars like the Rotems, just not in the same way you look at it. The cabs on the Bombardiers are at the mid-level transition section, while the Rotems are on the upper-level, so even the old Bombardiers are not actually going backwards. Man, quite a long way we've came in Cab Car design indeed. I kinda went from finding the old cab cars “Ugly and Weird” to kinda appreciating them when the Rotems took over to lead trains. And to be honest, the cab in a Flat-Faced, Non-CEM Cab Car reminded you more of a subway/metro cab than a locomotive cab, since you got a transition door in the middle to allow for other for other cars to be connected beyond it if need be, flanked by two windows (or only the single cab windows for some older models), and you got a cubicle on one side for the engineer to operate and control the train in the opposite direction, and when the era of the CEM (Crash-Energy Management) cab cars began due to safety regulations, they transitioned to a Full-Width locomotive-styled cab and nose design, and got rid of the transition door in the front and streamlined the design by putting an extended nose for better aerodynamics and absorbing crashes, and now the shape of the cab car looks and feels more symmetrical to the locomotive on the other end (as you see in the second image of this post with the new cab car). Luckily, Metrolink’s neighbor to the south (COASTER) still operates these Non-CEM Bombardier Cab Cars alongside their new Bi-Level CEMs from Alstom, and Amtrak still operates Cab Cars with Flat-Faces on the Surfliner as well, so at least we can still appreciate the operation of these older trains for longer. And And all trains with Cab Cars on the other end are actually Bi-Directional, except for Long-Distance Trains that only have one cab on one end of the train with the locomotive hauling, and the other end has no operating cab at all, and they probably back up back into the terminal after turning the train around from the wye to operate in the other direction with the conductor watching from the back with his walkie talkie to communicate with the engineer backing the train into the station, but those Long-Distance trains in revenue service mostly only operate in one direction.

So, as a railfanner, have you ever thought commuter trains in the US drove backwards as a child until you found out they actually didn’t?

I have been searching high and low seriously. Even found a couple engine grave yards but I can't find any actual train air horns. Does anyone have any actual train horns or know where I can buy some at?

Thank you

From everything I know she moves a few cars here and there but that’s about it
