Swedish narrow gauge steam locomotive built in 1901 in service with Jädraås - Tallås Järnväg where I photographed it a few summers ago, planning to visit again this summer.
In daily commercial service until 1972, as an industrial switcher the last years. #railway#railroad
Miami to Key West.
The Overseas Highway was originally Built as a railway and opened in 1912. this is now a highway for vehicles.
113 miles across 44 islands and 42 bridges.
Quite an engineering achievement.
The remains of the former Partick Central Station (later known as Kelvin Hall Station) under Benalder Street in Glasgow. It was built around 1896 for the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway, and closed in 1965. The station buildings were demolished in 1968.
It's still dark when #Sounder Train 1502 rushes to the platform at Seattle's King Street Station with cab car 304 leading. This Sounder is inbound from Lakewood, Washington with morning commuters. Once this train is emptied, it will quickly return south to Tacoma as Sounder 1503. Meanwhile, #Amtrak Cascades 505 is readied for its run to Eugene, Oregon. #TrainTuesday#Railfan#Railway#Train
A small #CrossBorderRail linguistic observation - I was initially confused by the Polish signage for both 'platform' and 'track' numbers.
Most platforms have 2 tracks !
The British don't distinguish between the two, the Dutch consistently use 'spoor' which is a track - but never talk about platforms.
What can I expect in Italy / Switzerland next week?
@steely_glint Hello there! Italian railway-enthusiast traveler here.
In #Italy we number the railtracks (𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘰) as someone already mentioned, but the PA announcer translation may be confusing because - in the English version - they translate "binario" as "platform", which is obviously not exactly the same thing. #train#railway
At last a major Labour Party promise that most of us can get behind: Labour have committed to a full-scale (re)nationalisation of the UK rail system (with some allowance for small scale focussed private services on the nationalised system).
Lobbying by rail firms seems to have finally been unable to halt the realisation that for Labour this is a major & well-supported popular policy.
Now what would be good would them to apply the same logic to their economic/fiscal policy!
