Nice weather, nice Diesel and a bunch of dangerous chemicals. What else could there be?

Tonight I had shunting duty. I built a train. It was terrifying. It was magnificent. It had a total of two wagons. Empty wagons. #train

Went to refuel our cute little shunter. It's quite thirsty I'll give it that. Was quite fun to finally go faster than 25km/h with it lol #train

Insane. I actually managed to get to my destination without stopping for no apparent reason. #train

Don't think I got to drive such a clean locomotive yet. #train

Sunny day. In the middle of the picture a fairly new locomotive of the type BR 193 from SBB Cargo can be seen. It looks like it just rolled out of the factory with how clean it is.

Doing shunting work is fun but incredibly tiring. #train

No context. Just a rainbow I saw at work. 🌈 #train

From a locomotive's driver seat a rainbow can be seen in the distance.
It's afternoon, but still daylight. Four tracks in parallel indicate a siding for overtakes where I got sent into to wait for faster traffic to pass me.

One fun part about driving freight trains is you get lots of chances to shoot photos. #train

It's a cloudy, wet day.
In the middle of the photo a grey SBB locomotive can be see waiting for an overtake by faster traffic. It has a train full of containers behind it.

When waiting on my train home I saw this motive at the Cologne Trade Fare/Deutz station and found it to be pretty. #train #photography

It's a summer afternoon. The picture is divided into 3 'levels'. On the upper level you can see the cloudy sky and a tall building. On the middle level there is a train leaving the upper level of Cologne Trade Fare/Deutz station with some visible catenary. On the lower level you can see a signal from the side on a mast and the roof of the lower 2 platforms of the station with some adverts.

This shift was pure pain. It took me 3,5h to get from Duisburg to Cologne as on the entire way there was massive traffic congestion going on. Locomotive is a swiss Re482. #train

Re482 locomotive with tank cars attached standing in Cologne waiting to proceed on its way.
It's night but illuminated from above with yellow-ish light, the perspective is from the side to see the livery on the locomotive.

Love the vibe of driving at night. Feel free to guess where that is if you like :3 #train

The picture is from within the cab of a locomotive looking at a train station at night.

Have to take the chance and snap a photo while waiting for overtakes to happen. This is in Flieden, facing south towards Hanau where I took the train further down to Mannheim via Darmstadt. Loco is a Swiss Re482 TRAXX F140 AC1. #train

Locomotive 482-026 waiting patiently in Flieden for overtakes from high speed rail. It's an overcast day, the train is facing the south towards Hanau.

Train from Hamburg Harbor to the south of Germany. I took this picture in Lehrte freight yard if I’m not mistaken. On that night it was so foggy I could barely see 30m in front. Made for a nice background, though. Locomotive is a Swiss Re482 TRAXX F140 AC1. #train

A train I got to drive from Switzerland's border in Muttenz to Mannheim-Friedrichsfeld. The locomotive is a BR 193 Siemens Vectron Variant A22 with D, A, CH, I and NL packs installed. #train

It's a cloudy, rather grey day.
