πŸ€£β€Ž Meme / Humour I like to think I have what makes an S-Bahn differ from standard more frequent commuter service down to a science, and then I'm reminded of what an "S-Bahn" looks like in Dresden

❓ Question Water stream between the rails

Thumbnail
gallery
195 Upvotes

Heya! I've absolutely 0 idea about trains but at least at some train stations here in Spain there is a constant stream of water flowing with some of these cylindrical bits placed every 30m or so.

Its right in between the actual rails for each direction and runs along the entire length of the station. Can anyone explain what's the purpose of it? Cheers!

Was letting some faster traffic go by in my milk tanker and the local that runs from Liberal KS and back just happened to be running by. An SD40-2 in the lead with two GPs behind.

Hi! So I’m in Berlin which is lovely and all but I really need to be in Hamburg! The train I booked is cancelled and then the next train. I got that notification. I’ve rebooked the next available this afternoon. Does anybody know if it’s likely that will be cancelled too??? Thanks in advance!

I didn’t see any company branding, and I didn’t actually read the number when I was there in person, no branding as far as I can see, it was actively getting steamed up at the time by the looks of it.

❓ Question Do you prefer Santa Fe 3751's 5-chime whistle or 6-chime whistle?

Post image
36 Upvotes

5-chime whistle (LM-192), worn between 1991 and 1995

6-chime whistle (LFM-540), worn from 1995 to today

Personally, I prefer the 5-chime with its rather shrilling sound.

Straight out of a model railroad. This Cargill chemical plant in Blooming Prairie manufactures base oil for adhesives. Tank cars holding certain chemicals must be placed in exact spots. Which makes for some exciting switching moves
