This steam locomotive was built in 1896 by Baldwin Locomotive Works and retired in 1963. It now functions as a teaching tool with its left side painted in traditional black while the right side is color coded to highlight a feature or group of features that make up the total engine.

This monochrome image captures the efficiency and structure of Hong Kong's subway system. The clean lines and orderly arrangement reflect the city's commitment to effective urban transport, creating a sense of calm amidst the daily bustle

The image shows a black and white view of a subway platform in Hong Kong. People are walking along the platform, which is lined by a train with closed doors. Overhead signs display directions and station names in both English and Chinese. The station is well-lit, emphasizing the clean, organized space

Schwarz-Weiß-Foto im Querformat mit weißem Rand. Landschaft mit Häusern links und der Elbe rechts, im Hintergrund ein Berg mit Nebelschwaden. Das Bild ist aus dem hinteren Zugfenster aufgenommen wurden, also sieht man die Schienenstränge, wie sie sich durch die Landschaft winden.

Und weil's so schön war, noch ein 'Schnappschuss aus dem Zug' Berlin-Prag, diesmal minimalistisch-grafisch.

Schwarz-Weiß-Foto mit hohem Kontrast im Hochformat mit weißem Rand. Das Foto ist aus dem hinteren Zugfenster aufgenommen, daher sieht man, wie die Schienen zum Horizont hin aufeinander zuzulaufen scheinen. Die Schienen kreuzen eine Straße, dort entsteht ein grafisches Muster durch Schienen, Straße, Licht und Schatten.

Schappschuss aus Bus oder Bahn
Snapshots taken from a bus or train

This was taken recently from a small train exhibit in Maine. I was on the back of a train on a small platform and took this while kneeling down under a part of the exhibit towards the back of another train

A black-and-white photo, in the foreground is a close-up of very old train tracks with horizontal wooden beams and rocks in between. Metal rails run vertically into the photo showing the perspective of distance. A bit of the back of a train can be seen with the old-fashioned round red white and blue flag on it. The rest of that train is obscured by large black metal beams coming up into a triangle shape over the tracks. The triangles on the upper right and left hand show bits of clouds in the sky and a building on the left.

I missed yet another , but let's ignore this for a moment and pretend it's still yesterday.

Here's one of my recent long exposures from a moving

The image shows a view from a train window, with blurred green foliage and a gray background indicating rapid movement. The window frame is partially lit, highlighting the stillness of the interior of the train compartment.

The video showcases a decorative pillow featuring a black and white photograph of a steam engine's wheels. Initially, the pillow is displayed on a light-colored couch, with a textured white throw blanket partially visible in the foreground. The photograph on the pillow captures the intricate details of the wheels and the connecting rods, emphasizing the mechanical complexity of the steam engine. As the video progresses, additional elements are introduced. Text appears in the upper left corner, reading "DOUGLAS E. WELCH DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPHY," indicating the creator of the design. Circular insets are added to the right side of the pillow, showcasing the same photograph on different products: a phone case, a tote bag, and a rectangular item, possibly a wallet or a small bag. This suggests that the design is available on multiple items. At the bottom of the frame, the text "Steam Engine Wheels" is displayed, followed by the website "DOUGLASEWELCH.COM/SHOP/791," providing a link for viewers to purchase the design. The video maintains a consistent focus on the pillow and the promotional elements, highlighting the versatility of the design across various products.

In evening's glow, the station breathes,
A sleek train waits, reflections gleam,
Shadows drift, lights softly guide,
A quiet hum where journeys hide.

A modern train station bathed in warm, golden light. A silver train with red accents is parked at the platform. A few travelers walk by, some with luggage. The platform is clean and well-lit, with clear signage.

For the first time, I have managed to update all eleven of my country diagrams for the same year! And it's only May!😊 Represented are: 🇦🇹🇧🇪🇩🇰🇫🇮🇫🇷🇩🇪🇱🇺🇳🇱🇳🇴🇸🇪🇨🇭
I started making the diagrams because I missed the (useful) official ones and wanted a planning guide for my travels. I hope they help you too when travelling through central or northern 🇪🇺 (or whatever you need them for)!
👉 You find the 2025 train diagrams on my blog: larstransportmaps.com/

FCC class 400 ("") at les Planes. this train is a local celebrity, every time it comes out people are fascinated by it

A FCC class 400 "frog" train arriving at les Planes station, from the FGC depot in Rubí, in the middle of the vegetation of the Collserola park. It's a three-car set with white-and-green carriages which, combined with the round front lights, make it resemble a frog.
