Went reminiscing through some old photos and found a good one from way back in my ramblin' #railroading days

In all my free time (๐คฃ), I've turned into an accidental #HomeNetworking hobbyist, run the automated weekly build system for #OpenWRT fork #ROOter, spoil the giant pile of needy #sheepdogs, and play #mechanic on anything that doesn't run away from me fast enough. Any time left after that is usually "spotting" mechanical things, if it's machinery I'm probably interested. Some #planespotting (also an #ADSB collector), #shipspotting, and grew up #trainspotting (#railfan for Americans).

@garius Yes! I had been a Trains magazine subscriber since I was a kid but until I got online 30+ years ago, I didn't really realize just how many of us there were & how far down certain rabbit holes folks had gone.
The Siemens S200 LRV needs some fanart, so I thought I'd draw up the version planned for use by the Cleveland RTA.
I do think the scheme is a bit on the bland side...would it hurt to bring back the eye-catching traction orange? #railfan

@N3VEM Sorry - stole the image from the PDF here: https://www.atglen.org/pdf/TheAtglenSusquehannaLowGrade/Eden.pdf

@N3VEM Pennsy, very clearly. :-) I have only a passing knowledge of PRR lineside structures, but my *guess* would be a telephone to talk to the dispatcher or block operator in pre-radio (or pre-Trainphone!) days as needed. There trainloads of web resources that cover the PRR and there is probably A Guy who knows the date that it was built.

This is a really well done video. If you are a rail fan, or cyclist, or a Californian, I think you'll like it.

I can finally tick the BR Class 395 Javelin off my train bucket list (and rode on 395012 aka the #TrainBow no less). Unsurprisingly similar to the 80x series, but the ride comfort was a bit better imo.
Hopefully the Eurostar is gonna be something I experience in the not too distant future #Trains #RailFan

I've gone down some pretty deep YouTube holes on the freight #railroads of #MexicoCity, as pictured in the toot above this one.
Sometimes the #railfan slang cracks me up. A locomotive might be called the obvious: locomotra or maquina.
But the switchers used by #FTVM are also called patieras: yarders, or yard switchers.
The best term, though, is cotorra. That's the word for parrot -- a nod to the engines' green and yellow paint scheme.
