My heart is heavy today after hearing about the passing of Hobo Shoestring. You will be very missed! And your legacy will live on. Made this photo as a tribute. Fly high brother.

Honest Opinion
I'm going to be honest with you, I don't really hype over Steam locomotives, Rather, the commuter trains you would usually find serving your neighbourhood. Unlike steam locomotives, commuter trains are the one you'd see and ride most often. Time after time, as you ride them, you begin to appreciate and notice the small details in them. You almost never find a Steam locomotive out running a regular passenger or freight service (for very obvious reason I don't have to explain), So the chances of you encountering one is much lower.

How many steam engines did New York Central Have?
I'm just curious about how many engines the New York Central had at its prime as only 8 remain now. I couldn't find an answer on Google/Wikipedia, and I'm sure you guys on here would know.

Some trains filmed in the station of Aïn Turki 100 kilometers west of Algiers, Algeria 🇩🇿.
This station has been closed since 2008 as a railroad worker told me. First locomotive is an EMD GT22 CW class 060DH15, and the second is an EMD GT26 HCW 2A class 060DM01.

Restoration of a classic Dutch train (EN subs)
Hi all! I've made a documentary about the restoration of a classic Dutch train. It's about the Mat '36, which was the first electric passenger train in The Netherlands. We've been following the process for the past two years. We made this for the Dutch railway museum, but I've included English subs in case anyone is interested :)

Busiest place to go watch freight trains N. California/Sacramento/Bay Area?
Hi, my son and I often go watch trains pass by but it’s only one or two an hour. Is there a place we can park to get to see them more frequently? Is there a main corridor you could suggest or a depot/hub near us? Thank you, I haven’t found anything doing online searches.

How does this kind of bogie work?
I thought a bogie pivoted around a center point, but this is fixed to the body of the car at two points, making movement impossible, no? What allows this bogie to make rounding a curve possible? If the wheel axles rotate, which parts move/flex to accommodate?
