Wie hast du das denn geschafft?

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

How about Railroader? From what I’ve seen of it it seems it could do that. (But is in the wrong region and time for me personally) But yea, I work in a small yard where we sort ChemOil trains and it’s pretty fun to do.

Könnte durchaus besser funktionieren als mit einem Güterzug.

Würd eher sagen, dass das wie der durchschnittliche Versuch durch Köln zu kommen aussieht. :P

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

Annoying as all hell when that happens. But I love freight too much.

If there’s one thing I’m jealous of it’s that 2h delay is „hard“ for a passenger train xD

I'm so glad to be doing shunting work way off Offenburg currently. All my colleagues are complaining about being parked and forgotten off of Offenburg, reaching their shift limits etc

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

Once I watched a pigeon get onto an ICE train to Kiel. That was hilarous.

Als Güterzug direlt dahinter Tempomat 50 und schöne Landschaft genießen. Nebenbei beten, dass bei der Bz einer mitdenkt und überholen lässt. Wird sonst nix mit pünktlich Feierabend. 😆

Das deutsche Netz hat sich in der Zeit net so verändert. Höchstens paar überwachsene Gleise und Signale mehr als zuvor.

Für Planverkehr wär mir nix bekannt. Gab aber im Thüringer Wald mal eine Protestaktion vom lokalen EVU wo sie ihren Zug "mal" mit Dampf gefahren sind. Nach dem Motto "Wenn die Infra aus den 50ern ist, dann ist es jetzt auch das Rollmaterial"

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.

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

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

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

Modern european locomotives are driving computers made to work in as many different systems as possible lol

commandermarci.bsky.social @commandermarci.bsky.social · 29/10/2024
I can do that in the future, sure. It's a Siemens Vectron, type A40 with Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands and Belgium packets installed. In Germany they're usually referred to as BR 193.
