This track might need the weed sprayer before the grinder

So you could send a train from Mullingar to Athlone then? :pac:

Edit: Didn't see the previous reply...

Athlone-Mullingar inspection car run?

That's one way to clear a line.Let's hope the bean counters in I/E don't see this or they might try and get rid of the weed sprayer as a cost saving measure.:D:D

a proper community railway

This is from Brooklyn, New York; not sure what year. Peter Witt tram (8000-class) waits for an interesting-looking work engine with boxcars to pass, on Second Avenue near the junction with 39th Street.

Speaking of which, here is Toronto's remaining Peter Witt bracketed by a PCC leading and a CLRV trailing at the Beaches Easter Parade. There's an issue with the Witt braking system so it doesn't get let out solo any more.

Bit of a stretch but this is a dual breakthrough of two parallel TBMs on a subway extension in the northern end of Toronto.

The BBC4 programme repeats to tomorrow Wed 12th at 10pm - The Golden Age of Steam - concentrating on narrow gauge preservation with a truly awesome section on the Ffestiniog railway - not to be missed. How volunteers engineered a section called the 'Deviation' and dug a cutting, blasted a tunnel and built a bridge, just like the navvies of old.

"Night Express" train between Berlin and Lund, Sweden. Crosses the Baltic Sea on a ferry. (Of course, if Ireland was on 1435 mm gauge, trains could have been doing this to/from Britain already.)

One of the best photos I've seen of the former elevated tramway in Hoboken, New Jersey (Frank Sinatra's birthplace). This would be the approaching the highest point of the tramway, which ran towards Jersey City Heights and Union City. Apparently, this photo was taken on the second-last day of service prior to its abandonment, according to the source.

Another big US tram station. This is of the two-level Public Service terminus in Newark, New Jersey prior to opening in 1916, showing upper level. After converting trams to buses, the lower level remained in use until 1966, and the upper level until 1978; the structure was demolished in 1981 instead of refurbished, which kinda shows the short-sightedness of the then-new operator, New Jersey Transit.

This tram was one of the furthest-travelling routes that operated out of the above tram station: the Newark–Trenton "Fast Line" interurban tram, which had its own dedicated alignment between New Brunswick and Trenton. The alignment is still in evidence, although it is currently used for high-voltage power lines.

There's an excellent pic of the train in this week's Railway Herald as well, can't copy or link to it though. This was the second trial train but the first with newly restored Met No 1.

Fair play to LUL in allowing steam underground given their paranoia about fire after Kings Cross.

A couple of Class 20s have been painted in LU colours as well, they regularly deliver new stock to LU at West Ruislip.

Will be back in UK in Jan myself looking for work off my old employer, a lot of which is on LUL

Kiwirail DL Class.
I was unlucky enough to have my Auckland to NP flight cancelled on Tuesday and a 5.5 hours bus ride instead, though on the plus side got to see 4 of these hard at work at the Ngaruawahia crossing. Double headed northbound cleared the single lane bridge, followed immediately by a single loco on a container and car train heading south over it to be further followed by another northbound on hauling mostly empty container wagons. Busy times, the 2 northbound ones couldn't have been more than 6-7 mins apart

I thought the photo thread was for photos and the 'porn' thread was for videos?

This thread is more the international and unusual, e.g. the trams above, the photo thread is more Irish stock. Bring it on, either way.

I saw the steam locos on this line in the 80s, albeit in the summer, but did not film it then during the Martial law period in Poland as this was probably a capital crime!
