Last couple of days in Europe. We took the InterCity from Amsterdam Zuid to Utrecht Centraal. Service every 10 minutes. Amazing.

Off we go to Amsterdam on the Eurostar from Paris Gare du Nord. Formerly the Thalys services and the rolling stock is showing its age. #trains #eurostar #railfan

The Paris Metro is quite something. I didn’t realize that there were elevated sections. #trains #paris #metro #railfan

Paris Metro Line 12 feels a bit like a museum with the older rolling stock. #paris #metro #railfan

Took the train from Interlaken to Brienz. Stunningly nice route along the lake and the station in Brienz is beautiful. #sbb #trains #railfan

Off to Brienz on a regional train. More akin to a heavy-weight tram. One track over is an ICE from DB. Such variety of trains here. #sbb #trains #railfan

Brought the "good" camera along on a walk yesterday and caught a GO F59PH pulling a shorter Stouffville Line train just east of Danforth. This locomotive was delivered to GO new in March, 1994 (refurbished in 2011). I think they are the best looking of the GO locomotives. #GO564 #railfan #trains

One of the new @viarailcanada.bsky.social Siemens Venture train sets at the Montréal Maintenance Centre. Taken 6-10-2024. #viarail #trains #railfan
This image shows a modern VIA Rail Canada train situated in a railyard. In the foreground is one of VIA Rail's new Siemens-built *Charger* locomotives, part of the "Corridor Fleet" used primarily for routes between Windsor, Toronto, Ottawa, and Quebec City. The locomotive has a sleek, aerodynamic design, painted in grey and yellow with a large VIA logo on the side, and a prominent red maple leaf on the car directly behind the locomotive. In the background, several older green and yellow VIA Rail trains are visible, some showing signs of graffiti. The location appears to be a maintenance or storage facility, likely in Toronto, given the presence of various rail lines and industrial buildings. Would you like more detail about the train model or the location?

Throwback to December 29, 2024 when we were up near Bala, ON and I got out to see the northbound Canadian on a rainy morning. #viarail #trains #railfan
The last car of a streamliner passenger train. The VIA Rail Canada “Canadian” clears a level crossing on a grey day with snow banks on the side of the road.
