227 Photos

April 2025 featured a notable focus on Czech and Slovak steam locomotives, particularly at the Luzna u Rakovnika railway museum, where several ex-CSD engines such as 464.102, 423.094, 434.2186, 354.195, 433.049, and 534.0323 were documented during the museum's 25th anniversary celebrations. The STEAM-53 event at Benesov u Prahy also brought attention to preserved Czech steamers like 354.7152 and classic railcars such as M296 1021/854 021. Freight and passenger operations in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany were well represented, with multiple appearances of Lineas class HLE 13, HLR 77-78, Captrain and Medway Bombardier Traxx units, and DB Cargo Siemens Vectron locomotives, especially around Antwerp and Kaarst. Several images highlighted international freight movements, including tank and shuttle trains, and the use of dual traction for heavy steel trains to Antwerp Harbor. Multiple photos captured handovers and loco exchanges at border stations like Bad Bentheim and Moerdijk. The presence of strike-related extra-long NMBS MS80 units and special liveries such as Lineas 186 454 "No Time To Waste" added variety. Heritage events, museum open days, and retro liveries were recurring themes, with further coverage of open days in Ceske Budejovice, Ceska Trebova, and Vrutky. Overall, the month was marked by a combination of historical celebrations, freight corridor activity, and operational highlights across Central Europe.

T478-1002 was one of the prototypes of later class 751 and had somewhat more rounded cabs, earning her the nickname Bardotka (after the French actress Brigitte Bardot -who might have find reason for annoyment being compared to a Diesellocomotive) and has survived and resides now at the railway museum of Luzna u Rakovnika. There she stands on 13 May 2012. 
