A photo taken in April or May 2001 at #Bozen #Bolzano 🇮🇹 station: an #FS E.656 “Caimano” electric with a consist of “Gran Confort” carriages, some (like the first one behind the loco) in #XMPR livery and others still displaying their original #Bandiera paint scheme.

9/11 or the Paris terrorist attacks of 13 November 2015: one will always remember where one was when the terrible news popped up. We were in Venice ten years ago. The following day, we visited the French Pavilion at the Biennale d’Arte, adorned with messages of sympathy and grief. 🖤

A #Lötschberg🇨🇭#EuroCity bound for Germany 🇩🇪 seen at #Spiez in the early 2000s: a #BLS #Re465 hauls a long consist of DB cars. The #verkehrsrot paint scheme has been applied on the first one, whereas others display the orient-red #Produktfarben livery. A #WRmz137 type #DiningCar is positioned fourth.

and the westbound departure from Berlin tonight is equally cancelled (the train still being in France).

et du coup, ils ont supprimé le retour sur Vienne (et Berlin).

#Brussels 🇧🇪 in March 2002: an #SNCB #NMBS Class 20 electric is seen here with a #EuroCity consist. This used to be the usual setup for loco-hauled trains on the line to #Luxembourg 🇱🇺 for many years: the six-axle Class 20 was able to develop the power necessary on the gradients of the #Ardennes line.

#Nice 🇫🇷 station: an #SNCF #BB22200 electric with a night train from #Italy 🇮🇹. The #FS sleeper is positioned right behind the loco.
Photo taken exactly 25 years ago. I very well remember the date: I had just learned about the terrible Kaprun funicular disaster, watching TV in my hotel room in Nice.

Pictures taken a week ago while at, and around, #Copenhagen 🇩🇰: #DSB #IC4 diesel units to, and from, #Kalundborg, as well as Class EB #Siemens #Vectron electrics on double-deck commuter services, and on #Hamburg 🇩🇪 #EuroCity trains, were among the vehicles seen.

Donnerstag letzter Woche, aus dem Zug von Villach nach Salzburg. 🙂

Earlier this week at #Villach 🇦🇹: an #ÖBB Class 4746 #Siemens #DesiroML suburban unit in #InterRegio configuration, for future medium distance services, with a #SnackZone space and some seats labelled first class, yet being identical to 2nd class seats, leaving aside the seat covers.

offenbar die hier. Frachtflug aus Seoul, eine 747. Die Anflugroute hängt glaube ich von der Windrichtung ab. Bei (seltenem) Ostwind geht es direkt über die Stadt.

#November #Basel🇨🇭#Jura as the fog dissipates.

#Villach 🇦🇹 Warmbad station earlier today: an #ÖBB #Siemens 230 kph Class 1216 electric, certified also for running in #Italy 🇮🇹 and #Slovenia 🇸🇮, is seen here on an S4 suburban service from #Hermagor. The 8,600 HP developed by this loco are more than enough to haul the modest three car consist.

Going through the pictures taken today while on a hike along the #Rilke trail, starting at #Duino 🇮🇹 castle. Wonderful views on the Bay of #Trieste as the path follows the #Karst ridge.

A late morning visit of the lovely #Monfalcone 🇮🇹 train station, very charming, even a bit sleepy, off peak today. Things seen: a #Mercitalia class E.412 - a former “Brenner Lok”, the #Trenitalia #ICN774 from #Rome on its way to #Trieste, and some vintage #FS “logo inclinato” signage from the 1980s.

A few impressions from last night’s #ÖBB 🇦🇹 #DaNi #nightjet trip from #Hamburg 🇩🇪. Arrival into #Munich after breakfast, which was served in the cabin by the sleeper car attendant. (I travelled in sleeper economy.) There’s also a portion from #Amsterdam. This explains the #Vectron in #NS 🇳🇱 livery.
November 4, 2025 at 5:04 PM
Done! And they put a nice header photo. Must be the Öresund crossing, right? 🤓 #TextBildSchere

Hamburg 🇩🇪 Hauptbahnhof. A last look at the #DSB #Talgo from #Copenhagen 🇩🇰, before heading for dinner (and a local beer) up to the #Wandelhalle. Last step for today: boarding the #ÖBB 🇦🇹 #nightjet.
November 3, 2025 at 7:41 PM
… and a few more design features of the new #DSB 🇩🇰 #Talgo: meaningful signage (timings, car positioning, vacant lavatories), generous luggage racks, dedicated bike space in both end cars, and “touch-free” activation of the toilet flush.
November 3, 2025 at 4:37 PM
Interior design features of the #DSB 🇩🇰 #Talgo. A good mix of bays of four (bays of two or four in 1st) and airline style seating, w/ tray tables and tablet holders. Individual reading lights. One “European” power outlet per seat, no USB or wireless charging. Comfy seats, recline within a seat shell.

another photo of the train at the platform. (Odense this time.)

Hello from the first ever #Copenhagen 🇩🇰 to #Hamburg 🇩🇪 #DSB #EuroCity #Talgo service 🥳🎉.
The trainset is brand new, rather stylish and there’s, almost, level boarding throughout. No #DiningCar though, but I spotted a ☕️ vending machine. And I’m in seat 61 😉. @seatsixtyone.bsky.social @talgo.com

It seems that today marks the end of #DB 🇩🇪 #InterCity #Kurswagen through cars to #Dagebüll Mole. They did split from #Marschbahn services to #Westerland #Sylt at #Niebüll. I digged out this picture taken in June 2007. Back then, an Austrian-built #Jenbach diesel railcar worked the train.

#Salerno 🇮🇹 in April 2012: an #FS #Trenitalia 200 kph Class E444R #Tartaruga (🐢) electric is hauling an #InterCity train, displaying the XMPR livery, reflecting the carrier’s visual corporate identity back then.
