181 Photos

December 2025 was characterized by several special train operations, with a particular focus on historic and farewell journeys. Multiple images document the UEF steam locomotive 58 311 running the 3-Lakes Railway to Titisee, while the PRESS 86 333 participated in the STEAM56 festival at Benesov u Prahy, where various Czech and German locomotives, including CD 841 305 and Rail System 749 262, were also present. The final days of the FORD car trains through Venlo were captured, marking the imminent closure of the Dillingen factory and the end of a long-standing freight flow. Loco-hauled ICR passenger services within the Netherlands ceased after 150 years, with several photos referencing this transition. The SNCF Coradia X 73800 "Baleine" featured in multiple shots around Belfort-Montbéliard and Meroux, highlighting regional TER operations and connections with TGV and TGV Lyria services. Open days and anniversaries, such as the RheinCargo event in Neuss and the SGB museum's 40th anniversary, provided opportunities to showcase shunting locomotives and historic EMUs. Weather conditions ranged from twilight and grey skies in the Netherlands to clear winter scenes in Germany and France, reflecting typical December variety. Overall, the month emphasized change in regular operations, preservation activities, and the interplay between historic and modern railway equipment.
