Two DB ICEs (1 and 3) in Frankfurt Hbf in September 2019. I had just ridden the ICE1 from Basel Hbf on a very rainy day. Frankfurt is a strong contender for one of my favorite stations; not as much diversity as Munich Hbf, but you get to see the whole yard coming into the station.

NSW Government Railways #4490, a class 44 built in 1967 by A. E. Goodwin, it was a license built version of the Alco (American Locomotive Company) 1800 hp "World Model", in turn based on the Alco FA of the 1940s, but with an extra flat cab added in the back. 4490 was retired in 1994, and still in operation for excursions; it left for an excursion later that day. Photographed at the NSW Rail museum, Thirlmere, NSW, June 2022.

The most important American locomotive that you've never heard of: Baltimore & Ohio #50, built in 1934 by the Electro-Motive Corporation with Public Works Administration funding. It was the first mainline diesel locomotive in the US, and was the mechanical prototype for the streamlined E and F series that sold thousands, revolutionized the world, and killed steam in North America. Now preserved the National Museum of Transportation, .

Chesapeake and Ohio 490, a streamlined L1 4-6-4 rebuilt in 1947 from an unstreamlined 1926 4-6-2. Intended to haul the "Chessie" DC-Cincinnati express as an interim until the massive M-1 steam turbines were ready, the M-1s and Chessie itself were cancelled in 1948 and the L-1s retired in 1953. 490 is the only survivor, donated to B&O Museum in 1968. It remains there today, a true relic of the last gasp of US steam.

The now abandoned Cascade Tunnel in the former town of Wellington, WA. Site of the deadliest avalanche in US history and once a bustling rail town, the tunnel was abandoned in 1929 when the new (and currently in use) Cascade Tunnel was opened. It now has a very post apocalyptic vibe. But beware of bears!

Hashtags are the best way for people to enjoy our photography and find what they like seeing. But only if we use the same ones. I am trying to collect the most useful for artistic photos (I dislike non-themed ones like PhotoMonday, as they tend to be snapshots. I usually do not to post snapshots unless they are adding to a textual story)

Please reply to this post with any you like (that I have not collected) and we can keep boosting this list around.

Sunday
- serene images
- neolithic sites
Monday


Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday
- Geysers, hot springs, steam vents
Friday
- Windows and wall openings
Saturday

Non-day tags that I often use:








- anything frozen


- ancient sites, industrial, anything manmade and decaying



Disliked tags that seem to be mostly snapshots
