    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.
    think that has already happened, or nearly so. MARC is borrowing Amtrak P42DCs now, although I believe the odd Amtrak AEM7AC can occasionally be spotted.

    The problem is that MARC in addition to depending on Amtrak to maintain the locos were also their customer for power, and Amtrak electricity ain't cheap. It would make sense for MBTA to make the Providence Line electric, but for much the same reasons are keeping things diesel. Because of the tyranny of CSX et al, neither system has any near term prospect of their other lines becoming electrified so all-diesel helps with flexibility of equipment scheduling and in MARCs case interoperating with VRE.
    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.
    Don't think we've seen enough of large Cummins rail power to say one way or another, but NJT are tendering to rebuild the Cat C175s in their Bombardier dual modes already...

    This rare bird was sold at auction tonight for €480 (+ Buyer's Premium). Looks like it came out of a ditch rather than somebody's collection.

    Siemens Charger 4604 doing high speed testing on the Northeast Corridor in New Jersey, assisted by an electric ACS-64. The diesel is the one with the bright light on its side, the engine bay lighting showing through the side vents.

    I don't think I've seen these before but this video is only 14 years ago and to see the change in that time is amazing. There are seven videos in total. So very interesting.

    That coupling-up was lethal and typical of some of the sloppiness prevalent at the time. I seem to remember that some poor sod was almost cut in half between two laminates at Heuston some years ago. Remember that accidents like Buttevant and Cherryville don't just happen by divine intervention and it's the same old story of familiarity breeding contempt.

    Those look like the JŽ (today ŽS) 666 class (interesting number), which are JT22CW-2s, mechanically similar to the 071 class although built with full car bodies rather than the hood configuration that the Irish locos have, and for 1435 mm track gauge.

    It's hard to see a lot of the English stuff selling ,a lot of pretty generic stuff , although nothing surprises me when it comes to railway heads.

    However, there could be a bidding war for Lot 292.

    http://www.corkauctionrooms.com/catalogue/auction02-10-16/Image_0077_0292_0001_Med.htm

    One bid at a time, gentlemen, no pushing at the back..........

    The thought struck me too but the guy who collected was a long time collector. I passed on a Waterford, Dungatvan & Lismore gate sign last week that was in a Tipperary sale. Probably genuine, but I wasn't prepared to bid without being able to do a hands on inspection.

    Lot 75 is a fake, it depends on where the screw holes are in lot 77 to determine if it is genuine or not. Many many different variants of both of these have been reproduced, and it is a bit worrying to see them being passed off as genuine!
