Photo of the December 2019 #Samichlaus, i.e. Santa, special on the metre-gauge #SBB🇨🇭#Brünig line south of #Lucerne. A HGe 4/4I electric from 1954 is hauling the train. The #Zentralbahn railroad operates an hourly service to #Interlaken over this line which includes several rack and pinion sections.

#Sofia 🇧🇬 to #Belgrade 🇷🇸 in June 2010. The consist includes a Serbian #ŽS #ЖС seat car and a Bulgarian #BDŽ #БДЖ sleeper to #Vienna 🇦🇹 via #Budapest 🇭🇺. Beautiful scenery as we approach #Niš. The train is hauled by a Class 661 diesel here. Wooden giraffes and other bulky items travel in the vestibule.

Nun habe ich es zufällig endlich auch zu einer DB-FV-Abschiedsfahrt geschafft, und zu was für einer: Der Abschied vom RIC-Intercity bei DB Fernverkehr, heute Abend, gerade jetzt, geht mit dem IC 2026 Wiesbaden – Hamburg eine Ära zu ende 🥲 Schönes Programm, tolles Rundherum, danke an alle,

Seen earlier today on the #SBB🇨🇭#Gotthard line: an #SBBhistoric excursion train. The short consist included the red lightweight #DiningCar #WR700 from 1958 and was hauled by an #Re6/6 #Re620 electric. When they were built in the 1970s, these locos were among the world’s most powerful locomotives.

Good bullar don't grow on trees, especially not where I live. The price to get one is travelling 1000 km north on rather unreliable lines. Trick No 1 is to cross Germany by night: Delay is less bad, if it means more sleep. First time in the new NJ sleeper, and I like it. #HullerOmBullar

I have no idea what a smart mug is, but they indeed paid attention to detail for the new X2000 interior design. As usual with SJ Snabbtåg, there is no ticket check as long as you're sitting on your reserved seat, so it is a very quiet ride up the Västra Stambanan to Katrineholm. #HullerOmBullar

The Snälltåget service to Oslo is an entire rake of former DB carriages. To my great delight including "Krogen", the train's @diningcar.at, which is one of the peculiar former German IR Bistros. Breakfast time! 😋 Preordered breakfast includes a cheese sandwich and a Kanelbulle! #HullerOmBullar

The peculiar interior of the Bistro car with low and high tables and benches in half moon shapes. Swedish and Norwegian flags hang from the ceiling. Two people queuing at the counter.

Krogen from the outside, already in the signature red Snälltåget dining car livery.

Coffee, Tea and Milk for self service on a shelf. Two red Snälltåget mugs in front of them, green landscape on the other side of the window behind it.
