    nice video of the Prague trams from a tram from yesterday. Apologies for the audio and people talking that I didn't think would be picked up.

    Some pictures from the now disused Navan to Kingscourt line. In no particular order and excuse the poor quality of some. Taken walking from the old crossing on the Windtown Rd, across the Kells Rd and on nearly as far as Tara Mines. Enjoy

    Didn't know where to put this one, since it's a "fan" workup.

    Back in the early 1970s, a rather confusing map of the New York City Subway was designed by Massimo Vignelli. The unique (and confusing) feature was the separation of alternate services into different lines on the same map, when it was all the same railway line; it was quite unpopular.

    Someone created an unofficial map of the London Underground in the same style as the Vignelli map; I'm using links because it's a bit too high-res to post.

    That London Underground mao has an error (or at least one) - it misses Pinner Station on the Metropolitan line - between Noth Harrow and Northwood Hills. Oooops.

    Fast steam on 1,067 mm (3' 6") gauge: South African Railways in 1991, featuring 4-8-4 types pulling freight trains. First one is class 26 no. 3450 "Red Devil" on the line from Kimberley to De Aar; second one is featured briefly, less-striking black-liveried class 25NC no. 3485; this class was originally built as class 25 condensing locos (to try to reclaim water lost from steam exhaust) but eventually rebuilt as non-condensing.

    Were the short lived converted AEC railcar to DVT sets ever hauled by 141's?

    I can remember them with C Class Metrovic.]

    Not as far as I can remember (although I may be wrong). From my memory, those trains were hauled either by C (B-Class 201s or 121-Class locos until the NIR Class 80 sets came along. :cool:

    The 141/181s never hauled the AEC sets, however the 121s did work them in push-pull mode on the Bray-Greystones shuttle after the withdrawal of the Cs in 1986 until the AECs were withdrawn in 1987.

    Interesting photo of New York Subway R-44 cars on the Long Island Railroad (Jamaica Yard; date 20/02/1972) for speed tests (when the Federal Railroad Administration still allowed that sort of thing); they did set a speed record at almost 88 mph. Long Island RR M1 car #9041 is to the left for size/style comparison. (Photo credit Steve Zabel, part of collection of Joe Testagrose.)

    Great video altogether. Joe St.Leger there with his yellow mack and tripod - no doubt Roches Stores bags nearby.

    Interestingly the scene at Manulla showed how, even in a run-down state, the railway was still multi-purpose with mails and parcels being transferred. Much better for An Post to have everything going by road now. Also, Foxford appears to have had little spent on its reopening - why not Avoca and other stations. Sorry - why do I bother. Thanks for posting the video. :)

    I think that video is the actually first time I've ever seen an image of Joe on board a train as distinct to him being trackside. Wonderful stuff altogether and thank you to Oscar Bravo for posting it :)

    New Siemens 125mph Tier 4 passenger diesel on test in Pueblo, Colorado
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1eUxiuqhbM


    4601 is hauling some Kawasaki bilevels also rated to that speed owned by MARC (Maryland-DC commuter rail). Michael Cahill, head honcho of Siemens Rolling Stock North America who pops up here is a 1989 UCD graduate.

    Some of the other units are en route to Maryland for high speed testing on the Northeast Corridor, where they will replace AEM7 and HHP8 electric locomotives. These will also operate in Washington/Oregon, California, Illinois on Amtrak-State services replacing federally owned P42DC locomotives and some State owned F59PHIs, and a modified version with a sharp nose on the private Brightline service in Florida.

    As far as Maryland MARC goes, it's going to be an utter waste once the AEM-7s go (which Amtrak will no longer service due to switching over to the Siemens-built ACS-64s and also no longer having the contract for operating the Penn Line service), because the Penn Line (MARC's local Northeast Corridor/former Pennsylvania RR commuter service) will be changed to all diesel and take no advantage of the overhead wires.

    BTW, thanks to US (federal) crash-strength regulations, the Siemens Charger's weight is up to 120 tonnes (30 tonnes per axle). These smaller-capacity engines rev much higher than older two-stroke diesels too, so let's see what the laws of thermodynamics do to them.

    Those Canadian National Geeps have some years on them, even with the number of times they were rebuilt. Like I said, let's see if the Siemens locos with Cummins engines can get up to the same age.
