Rail Pictures, Railway Photos, Trains from August 2025

323 Photos
August 2025 is marked by a strong focus on modern freight operations across Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland, with multiple sightings of Crossrail Belgium, Lineas, and HSL locomotives hauling container and goods trains, particularly along routes connecting Zeebrugge, Aachen-West, and Antwerpen. The BLS network features prominently, with various units such as MIKA 528, Re 465, and RBDe 566 captured at Swiss locations like Spiez, Thun, and Goppenstein, often under overcast or rainy skies. Special events include the 150th anniversary of the Emmentalbahn, highlighted by historic steam and vintage electric trains near Grieswald and Sümiswald-Grünen. International passenger services are also present, with Eurostar sets photographed in Duffel and SBB/ÖBB trains at Bregenz and Lindau Insel. The repeated presence of maintenance vehicles, such as Scheucher BBA 665 at Pratteln and Infrabel ES 203 in Warsage, points to ongoing infrastructure work. Notable are the recurring motifs of trains passing through scenic Alpine regions, often with challenging light conditions due to weather or geography. The month also documents several open days and celebrations at depots, reflecting a mix of historical appreciation and modern railway operations. EU label: AI-generated content

The akiem PRIMA E 37 519 arrives at Bellegarde station as a locomotive. The locomotive will likely pick up a mineral water train in Thonon or Evian. A look at the overhead line reveals that it is very simply constructed on the sidings, with only one contact wire and no suspension cable.

Former ÖBB Blauer Blitz (Blue Flash) 5145.11 stands in the Heizhaus Strasshof on 21 May 2023. This DMU once connected Berlin and Wien via Praha in the 1960s fast international services, possible due to Austria being a neutral country during the (First) Cold War between 1947 and 1989. This DMU has ben restored to fully operational status.

The last train from Wiener Neustadt to Vienna on 15 September 2024 was this RailJet with mundane red 1216 006 pushing. From 14;00 that day, massive flods took out all railway lines to and from Vienna. Having arrived with 40 minutes delay from Murzzuschlag, this train will leave Wiener Neustadt with an extra hour delay whilst getting completely overcrowded. Next day, storm BORIS took out almost the entire Austrian railway network, sparing only the Tyrol.
