Karlsruhe had a different locomotive in the east end pilot stabling point this weekend; privately owned and rather beautifully restored class 362 number 362 769-2

Nice!

By the way, is that 1116 062 behind?
I can't quite see the number ☺️😆

Yes it is. There's also three SBB International units in the background, one is named "Freiburg".

Random class 303 mockup and 'real' pictures, also, 3 class 311 pics at the end too (although the picture sequence appears to be out of order some times when I see the post)

Nah, it's always be the 'Great Worsen Railway'.

146 230-8 Arriving in Karlsruhe on a service to Immendingen. I like these trains; they may be a bit older than the "BWegt" liveried units behind, but they have lots of space for bicycles.

That said, this would be full later in the day which is why I got up at silly O'clock last week to transport this bike to my workshop...

Brussels Zuid at lunchtime today, not sure where its heading ( probably France).

This photograph cropped up on a group, via my Facebook

I remember most of the buildings still standing, but derelict
The bridge over, from the ‘railway hotel’
(later ‘Flying Scotsman’) had gone

Ugly train of the day...???

Another in my infrequent series of 'Trains at Mechelen 🇧🇪' series.

The station is being slowly refurbished...

Springburn, Glasgow 😍

That said, that so isn't the Cowlairs Incline, which is the climb out of Glasgow Queen Street station and is largely in a tunnel 😆:
