The 12.4 km long TMB (Tramway du Mont-Blanc) rack railway has been running from Saint Gervais les Bains Le Fayet station to the Nid d'Aigle in the Mont Blanc massif since 1913, with the first section to Col de Voza having been opened in the summer of 1908. A curious feature is the ‘naming’ of the vehicles: they have no identification or number but are named after the director's daughters, and each train has its own colour. At the hairpin bend between Le Fayet and St-Gervais, the Blue MARIE with the control car of the same name is on its way from the Col de Voza to the Saint Gervais les Bains Le Fayet train Station.

On 3 July 2015 NS 1733 calls at Wijchen with her DD-AR to Nijmegen. Note the automatic Scharffenberg couplers of the locomotive, that enabled 1700s deployed on regional services to couple and uncouple fast at greater stations, albeit that this feature was no longer used from 2012 after time and again, this coupling during station dwells often failed, leading to delays of ten minutes or more.

Dutch treat for RegioJet? Rail Force One is a Dutch freight operator that leased one of her Vectrons, in casu 193 627, to RegioJet that has expanded so fast, that they had to draft in any rentable loco -mostly Vectrons, andf that results in a nice variety on the Czech Rycklyk line R8 Bohumin<=>Brno Kralove Polje -and at least until end of September, RFO 193 627 is at the party. Here she has arrived at Brno Kralove Polje with R1118 from Bohumin. Sadly, this loco has lost these beuatiful colours since 2023...

‘Foreign’ signals and overhead lines quickly give it away: this SBB RABe 512 was not photographed in Switzerland; since the 2025/26 timetable change, the SBB RABe 512 has been reaching Annemasse in France, albeit, like its ‘predecessors’, the SBB RABe 511, only on the single track ‘G’ electrified with 15,000 volts and 16 2/3 Hz.

Rail Experts 9901 -ex-LOCON 9901- hauls a hisatoric EMUs, flanked by two box wagons, through Wijchen toward Maastricht for maintenance on the EMU and passes through Wijchen on 10 NOvember 2019. During LOCON days, eight former NS Class 1600/1800 carried this nice livery and after LOCON-Benelux' downfall some electrics that were bought by RXP and RFO continued to carry this livery. But in 2026, RXP 9901 is the only locomotive remaining with this livery.

Completely gone from Dutch tracks are the once ubiquitious TRAXX Class 186.0 and the ICR coaches. On 26 May 2017 NS 186 018 hauls such a rake through Tilburg Oude Warande. In 2018 NS used a sale-and-lease-back construction with Akiem to cut costs on the locos and from December 2025 all NS Class 186 were returned to Akiem, who lost no time in removing the yellow and blue.

The 12 km long Coleraine - Portrush branch line is usually served by older Class 450 diesel railcars. They run hourly and provide good connections in Coleraine to the Belfast - Derry and Derry - Belfast trains, which cross in Coleraine every two hours. At the terminus in Portrush, the NIR diesel railcar train 8457 ‘Carrickfergues Castle’ with railcar 454, centre car 794 and control car 784 waits for the return journey to Coleraine.

The days of manually operated signaling are numbered in Niebüll and the era of Class 218 also draws to a close.

Koploper 4011 passes through Tilburg-Reeshof on 23 July 2021. This EMU is now part of the collection of the Nederlandsch Spoorwegmuseum at Utrecht-Maliebaan, having been handed over in 2024 in preparation of the phasing out of these once ubiquitious EMUs that modernised Dutch InterCity traffic from 1977 onwards.
