    Short video from the US Library of Congress, showing the excavation of New York's Pennsylvania Station and the tunnels to/from New Jersey, from 1905. The temporary construction railway system appears to have been some sort of narrow gauge, interestingly enough.

    Video from August 1989 shows 4472 in Adelaide, South Australia along with S.A.R.'s famed 4-8-4 520 (the streamlined one, Pennsylvania Railroad T-1 lookalike) and 4-6-2 621. Pacifics on both 1435 mm and 1600 mm gauge operating in this video.

    Some colour videos of full-length trips along the long-gone Second and Third Avenue elevated railways in Manhattan, New York. The narration can be a big grating, but still has a lot of detail. The entire Second Avenue line was not in existence by 1942; everything north of 59th Street was gone by then. Also, the Third Avenue line had been demolished from Chatham Square to South Ferry by the mid-1950s. These days, there is a short subway line under Second Avenue running from 63rd Street to 96th Street into the Broadway Line, the first segment of a system that's supposed to eventually extend from Hanover Square to 125th Street.

    indeed. many of them that are sadly no longer with us, maybe even all of them, probably would be an asset today had they been left.

    Not Irish, but that classic opening scene when there was real trains, what a train journey and that Deltic screaming pass at 1.56m, GET CARTER, they don't make good British films like that anymore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhisIT_CuQ8

    Most train deaths are not qualified for Darwin Awards, due to how common they are. It'd have to be a truly unique disaster that involved a train.
    Not a Darwin (but not safe either)
    • Whizzing (doing No. 1) on an electric wire
    • Smoking in an oxygen tent
    • Being hit by a train or automobile
    • Aerosol cans, etc., in the oven
    • Climbing into zoo cages
    • Falling off precipice while posing or p***ing
    • Carbon monoxide poisoning
    • Most autoerotic deaths
    All too common!
    And one can be alive and earn a Darwin Award; the rules allow for removal of one's genes from the gene pool by self-sterilisation. Not to mention that the winner must be capable of sound judgement.

    There was a nice 'past, present and future' event today involving four trains running together on the UK East Coast Main Line.

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles to avoid the DRS fee.

    Santa Cruz & Monterey Bay Railway (this segment presently called the Santa Cruz, Big Trees & Pacific Railway) running against traffic on the Beach Street tramway in Santa Cruz, California on 19/12/2012, having departed from the Boardwalk station. The train is the "Christmas Town" train bound for Watsonville. The train runs on more tramways in Santa Cruz, notably Chestnut Street. (The railway was originally 3-foot gauge when built by the Santa Cruz and Felton; later part of the South Pacific Coast Railway, and converted to standard gauge by the Southern Pacific Railway.) Locomotives are F7As painted for Iowa Pacific.

    Any up-to-date word on Metrovick No.227 that was displayed as C202 at Cahirciveen and then dumped near the site of Grace Dieu Junction in Waterford?

    I ask because I came across this print of a painting of the loco while dumped at Waterford. It's by Dublin artist Tony Gunning. Prints are available here: https://fineartamerica.com/products/railway-siding-tony-gunning-art-print.html

    Two videos from a recent trip to the US. I was at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania and caught an Amtrak train as well as two massive freight trains.

    WAGR X class with the original Crossley engine. To think that the A class probably sounded like this in their early days...

    The sound in the shorter clips of moving trains sound more authentic, comparable to the A & C classes.

    The engine in the longer clip, running on tickover, sounds much sweeter than our Crossley engines in service. I imagine this engine was completely overhauled.

    The biggest difference is the almost complete absence of smoke. In CIE service, the A class especially was very smokey, known as fug = fume fog.

    One summer evening, a number of children on the footbridge at Bray crossing became ecstatic as a trail of smoke heralded the approach of the 1707 from Connolly, "it's the steam train" they shouted.

    C202 was lifted from Kilmacrow today by Waterford Crane Hire for onward movement to an unknown location.

    The caption says the load was 23 tons. In working order the locos weighed about 60 tons. Am I to take it that the engine, generator etc are absent? and are the bogies with it?

    Thanks to the poster for informing us so promptly.

    All internals (bar cab components) were removed from 227 (which is the correct number - or 106 as an NIR engine) before NIR sold it to the Cahirciveen group in 1997 for £600 - it's engine (along with the others) was returned to IE by NIR for overhaul and re-use in the 141/181s.

    Bogies were still attached until the lift today - presumably they will go with 227 seperately.
