Itโ€™s just been sitting here running for a few days now. I thought it was a weird AC4400CW until I looked up the road number. Outside of Forest City, Illinois in the U.S.

๐Ÿ“ธ OC - Picture(s) - May be used in side-bar gallery (Wales, GB, UK) Class 197 197037 crossing Cletwr Bridge near Tre'r-ddรดl, Ceredigion on Fri 16/10/26

My photo of Transport for Wales Class 197/0e unit 197037 crossing Cletwr Bridge near Tre'r-ddรดl (between Dovey Junction and Borth) on Fri 16/10/26, on crew training run 3C02 0922 Machynlleth Carr. Sdgs to Aberystwyth.

Based on Barry Batchelor's photo of year-2000-only Class 170 Cambrian Line operation at this spot during the Central Trains years - it's in a 2013 web article named: A consultation will finish this week over an increase in rail services.

Posted after Class 197/0e Cambrian Coast Line entry-to-service between Machynlleth and Pwllheli on 19/10/26, but before Class 197/0e entry-to-service between Aberystwyth and Shrewsbury (via Machynlleth) on the Cambrian Line, which is due before the end of 2026.

On Sunday, 22 February 2026, I boarded the inaugural train to call at Northumberland Park railway station near Newcastle, which is next to the existing Tyne and Wear Metro station of the same name, providing a convenient interchange. The inaugural train was formed of 158817, a Class 158 Express Sprinter diesel multiple unit (DMU), at the front and 156489, a Class 156 Super Sprinter DMU, at the rear. They were operating Northern service 2T05, the 07:54 from Newcastle to Ashington.

The train arrived early at the new station at 08:06 and departed on time at 08:10. The first southbound train called at Northumberland Park at 09:02 on the 08:38 service from Ashington towards Newcastle and Metrocentre.

Northumberland Park is the fifth new station to open on the Northumberland Line.

I enjoyed being on the inaugural service. Here are some photographs I took of the station and the inaugural service, together with a few photographs from the official opening ceremony held the following day, attended by local dignitaries and children from a nearby school.

Polish PKP ED250. Peak speed on our rails is probably 250km/h (more like 160-200). Doesn't the coupler impact the aerodyanmics in some way?

๐Ÿ“น OC - Video UP 9565 leads manifest with sick P5/P3

74 Upvotes

On October the 19th I took a trip to downtown Conroe to Railfan at the diamond where the BNSF Conroe sub meets the UP Palestine Sub! While I was there I didnโ€™t expect to catch a train with a sick horn!

Crazy thing was is that I had AirPods in and I was sitting a bit further away from the tracks than usual however a bit later I heard a train horn eventually a few minutes or so later and I realized it was a P5 or a P3! Forgive me I donโ€™t know the difference between the two! Anyway I didnโ€™t have much time so I hop on my scooter and immediately start headed to W Davis street which is the crossing in the video! Without the scooter I wouldnโ€™t have made it he was going to fast since it was a shorter manifest!

I barely made it but the signals activated before I could start filming if I had gotten there earlier I wouldโ€™ve filmed the horn sequence for the other crossings further down they sounded sick as it was also super repetitive!

Sucked I missed it but here you guys go! Barley missed a sick horn but managed to get it!
