These visualisations of a day of trains in various countries have been going for a while, but I just saw one of Switzerland pop up on my feed. And it got me thinking, since Switzerland has a Taktfahrplan… why not beatmatch the music to the Takt? Please […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Aaaaand I’m back home. A bit of contrast coming from hiking in shorts in Switzerland to waking up to views of frosty mountains from the night train back home.

Ah yes, the classic zh_SV locale on the door leading to the power unit on this X2000 (This unit was initially sold to China and later bought by SJ back to Sweden, apparently they kept some trivia since!)

A little AJC later and we’re onto the next X2C (upgraded X2000) and should still be more than fine to make our final night train tonight! The seats on this train are an upgrade from whatever train you came from before. Hard to beat this new X2000 interior.

Status of my journey home in one picture. (To no fault of Snälltåget - it was just the usual Hamburg - Padborg shenanigans.)

Thanks #OpenTransport2026 for an amazing week. Learned and laughed a lot. See and talk to you all soon! Now it’s time for me to fall asleep on this Nightjet new generation built in 2020-something hauled by a Re 420 built in 1974. Old meets new in one of the best ways possible surely.

Today we rode the Brienz-Rothorn-Bahn which is still hauled by steam power! Just a casual 2250 masl top station that was built in the 1800s. Hiking up here was a bit more extreme. It’s possible to follow a ridge for 20 km to get back to Interlaken, but that […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Having some fun this weekend in Central Switzerland riding old mountain trains and hiking. Yesterday we took the Schynige Platte-Bahn hauled by a He 2/2 loco which must have been one of the earliest electric mountain railways? Details welcome if anyone knows! […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

When in Köln! Found the spot where apparently loads of people train spot, judging by the desire path leading to nowhere but a sight over the tracks. Before we left there’s another person showing up to ask as to take a photo of her with the trains behind. Good times 🤓

@tml Autocars look like this on SNCF Connect, with the bus icon and the arrow which leads to schedule information. And if the ”car” leg would be a schedule it wouldn’t likely match exactly the minimum connecting time of 9 mins in Saint-Charles. Looks to me […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Vacation at home part 1 was playing video games for a few days. Part 2 is orienteering and picking cloudberries on the mountain. Picture 2 shows Sweden’s biggest waterfall Tännforsen in the distance. I love living here despite being 8 hours of travel from civilisation 😅

@bovine3dom My guess is that with that approach the time to find possible departures at each stop will be the factor making it slow working with long query time windows and many calendar day variations. Memory locality has been one of the most important […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
