The Zillertalbahn, Austria - a steam-hauled
mixed train makes ready to depart from Mayrhofen
on its return journey to Jenbach, Feb 1970
Snapped by GC whilst skiving
from a school skiing trip nearby |
![TEE at Jenbach](TEE_Jenbach_2_70sm.jpg) |
|
A Trans-European Express passes through
Jenbach (same day as above)
The original slide was badly
overexposed, rather faded and a bit spotty - a
wonderful thing, this digital photography! |
![CP 2-8-4T Porto](cp0181_1_7_72sm.jpg) |
|
CP 2-8-4T 0181 heads a passenger train near
Contumil, Porto, Portugal 1 July 1972
It's that Portuguese trip again. |

|
Portuguese metre-gauge no E96 heads away from
Sernada do Vouga with a train for Aveiro, 28 June
1972
The archetypal branch line
train... |
![A39 at Inchicore](a39_10_4_96sm.jpg) |
|
Preserved and restored to the original silver
livery, Irish Railways A39 stands outside
Inchicore Works, 10 April 1996
And what a livery! It wasn't
very practical in service - they were soon
repainted green. |
![IR 144 at Limerick](IR144_Limerick_24_10_92sm.jpg) |
|
Irish Railways GM No 144 stands at Limerick
on a short train of ageing passenger stock, 24
October 1992
Like so many Irish stations, a
real station - how we remember them. |
![SNCF 25210](sncf_25210_6_8_92sm.jpg) |
|
SNCF BB25200 no. 25210 arrives at Questembert,
Brittany with a westbound passenger train, 6
August 1992
Classic French loco-hauled
passenger train. |
![GT multiple unit, Lison](GTMU_Lison_7_8_92sm.jpg) |
|
Turbotrain, Lison, on the Cherbourg - Paris
line, 7 August 1992
This multiple-unit hurtled
through Lison in the Paris direction, as I waited
for a Cherbourg train. These gas-turbine powered
units operated before electrification of the
route - I suspect they have gone now. |

|
SNCF BB22200 no. 22374 "Noyon"stands
at Redon, Brittany, 6 April 1993
Another real train... (unlike
Sprinter-land) |
