what the actual hell

A sketch of two steam trains, human faces on the front. The title above them says 'The Broad Gauge and the Narrow Gauge'. The narrow gauge train is looking unbearably smug, then broad gauge absolutely raging. In the smoke, they are communicating, the broad gauge saying "You are a locomotive" and the narrow saying "You are another".

It's over: I've already depicted you as the seething broad gauge train, and myself as the smug narrow gauge!

They also had a model railway layout there as well showing off the station and how the old platforms looked back in the day before their disuse.

Looking along the old platforms at March Station in Cambridgeshire.

Looking towards the current day mainline through March along the old platforms.

Looking down the platform towards Wisbech and Spalding.

Looking low to the old tracks towards Spalding and Wisbech.

This morning was at the Friends of March Railway Station opening day at March Station where they had the old platforms open to the public. Me and my Dad went there to have a look and I was able to take some shots of the station platforms and former trackbed.

Looking over a large rail yard, in the middle distance we see a blue and gold liveried VR T class hood style diesel locomotive hauling a train of red liveried wooden bodies passenger carriages away from the station platforms. In the foreground is a then-new N class carriage in VLine orange livery, and in the background is a sliver liveried Hitachi EMU set. A large number of goods wagons fill the background, and a ship and large cranes in the distance betray the existence of a working port.

Today's historic pic: Diesel loco T352 and a train of WW1-era wooden-bodied E class compartment carriages, with economy car 33BE at front, departs Spencer Street station, Melbourne, March 18 1985. Note the N set and Hitachi EMU. The rail yards in the background have since redeveloped as Docklands.

This image best describes Gatekeeping.

That's 458 404&416 brought to Staines and with that my day is complete

London Midland DMU 170514 emits a cloud of fumes as it comes round the bend into Worcester Shrub Hill station. A tall semaphore signal dominates the left side of the picture.

A late summer morning on the 22th of August 1986, and a Dadale Line Class 117 bearing it's KanEast Rail Dark Red and Yellow, orange lined livery stands at platform 1B at Dadale station waiting to depart with a service to Geadton in Stantonshire. The Class 117's where introduced by the Kaningdore Northeastern & Central Railway (KNE&CR) in 1960 to the Dadaleshire area of their network to work on commuter and regional services on their lines east of Dadale to with them being a common sight on many of their Dadale based services such as the Dadale to Trunwich, Dadale to Geadton, Trunwich to Nantwell among other services within eastern Dadaleshire that KanEast served with the units coming in either two to three carriage sets. The Dadale fleet of 117's would pass into Kaningdore Northern & Southeastern Railways (KN&SE) ownership in 1962 and then two years later in 1964 would fall under the ownership of KanEast upon the KN&SE's merger with the Northeastern Stirland and North Coles Railway (NES&NC). Their introduction along with Kaningdore Midland & West Coast Railways (KM&WC) introduction of the 101s on the western half of the Dadale Network in 1959 helped modernise and improve services in Dadaleshire and helped to replace many of the then steam locomotive hauled services in and out of Dadale with the carriages of these services being reallocated to Semi-fast commuter services such as between Geadton and Nantwell via Dadale and the remaining branch line services until the 117s also took some of those services over. The 117s would pass into Dadale Lines ownership upon them taking over KanEasts and WK Railways services within the Dadale area, by then the units were more than 26 years old and Dadale Line began looking to retire the fleet, with the 117s being replaced by the Class 156's on most lines with them remaining in service with DDL until 1992 with only nineteen of them ever receiving DDL livery with the rest remaining in KanEast livery right to the end.

It sure does make the world a better place when, someone just gives kindness and compassion towards others, and makes yourself a far more happier person than what you were yesterday.

So apparently, at the Illinois Railway Museum, a Loona plushie was spotted in the cab of one of their recently restored diesel locomotives, and normie rail fans are going ballistic over it. And I just think this is the funniest thing to get mad over 😂. Like it’s not that serious, folks 🤣

Former Rayonier 2-8-2 number 70 double-heads with Canadian Collieries 0-6-0 number 17 as they both pull an excurion at the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie, Washington. This 1922 Baldwin-built logging Mike is operational today at the Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad at Mineral, WA after a two-year hiatus due to the tourist railroad's closure. #17 was also built by Naldwin, in 1891, as an 0-6-0, but was rebuilt as a 2-6-0ST+T in 1918 ( fuel tender plus a saddle tank to carry extra water. It is still at the NWRM, but is in poor shape, having sat outside after last operating in 1969.

You know I would be more happy to lock up more Trainz related stuff on here, if only 99% of it wasn't related to Thomas and Friends most of the time. It's as if that's all that's being shown of Trainz on social media nowadays.

replaced with proposals by both Councils to electrify the Whitnor Line and have Bi-mode trains operate on the Huffham Vale. The Class 150/2's will soon be in their final days on the line, with some to be transferred elsewhere, sold second-hand to other operators or withdrawn form service.

Okay forget the previous post. I found out there was a Starlink outage last night, and my Dad was trying to fix it and forgot to correct my connection after he was done. So, I'll be uploading the screenshot of my latest Kanton Railverse reskin tomorrow.

At the gym, kicking up a sweet, and already I'm feeling hot and sweaty. 🥵

Welcome back to Naples.

I wouldn't be spraying OHL! Where's staff??!
Why so bad? ⬇️🧵
