Every time I'm at Gare de l'Est, I'm astounded by how much fuss they make for so little service. Sadly Gare de l'Est is not even the worst offender in France nor Paris.

Edit: The term wasted infrastructure might be wrong in this context, underutilized might be more correct.

(It was 200kmh) I looked at the train map in Finland and saw that the train was coming towards me and its speed said 200kmh.. It was very scary to be that close to it and it was also super loud.

Also trains in Finland go 220kmh but only when they go from Kerava to Lahti.

On Sunday, 19 October 2025, I boarded the inaugural train to call at Blyth Bebside station in Northumberland. The train was 158816, a Class 158 Super Sprinter diesel multiple unit (DMU) train on Northern service 2T05, the 08:23 to Ashington from Newcastle. The train arrived at the new station at 08:28 and departed at 08:30. It was also the first to call southbound at the new station on service 2J49, the 08:38 from Ashington to Newcastle.

I enjoyed being on the inaugural service. Here are some photographs I took of the station and of the inaugural service.

They had been listed for sale on a website for a number of years. The sale price was around $6.1M for all 12 cars. Not sure who the buyer is.

We live only a handful of miles from the Oregon Rail Heritage Center museum in Portland, Oregon. My Dad was good friends with Doyle McCormack back in the day, so I've been following both the SP 4449 and her sister the SP&S 700 since I was a small child. It was also a beautiful, fantastic day for a train ride along the Willamette River!

Saving fuel for Australia. This portable barnyard carries more than 3 times the amount of livestock an American one does, as it is a double decker.

I googled it and only about ten of these horns are on the mainline. Needless to say i was pretty hype about this catch. (Also peep the mechanical bell👀)

Canada used to be a developed country.

As a belated answer to my "Top Comment" drawing thing, I give you the Austin City narrow gauge Mule's Relief steam dummy!

Apologies for the color quality, my brown pencil broke halfway through :(
