A bit late to the party, but better late than never... Saturday 14 May saw the last day of operations by Southern using the Class 455, an electric multiple unit built between 1982 & 1985 for inner suburban services south of London. To mark the occasion, Southern organised a farewell charity tour joined by over 500 enthusiasts, the tour raised £25,000 for mental health charity MIND, a fitting tribute to these classic trains. The Southern units are now awaiting their meeting with the scrap merchants, but this isn't entirely the end of the class, as several remain in operation with South Western Railway. What really attracted me to the Southern units was their slightly different cab design, an alteration carried out by Southern in removing the gangways offering access between coupled sets to install air conditioning for the driver's cab. Wanting to get some photos of the Southern units before they hit the chopping block, I headed to Clapham Junction to see units from both operators passing through, before transferring to Victoria to see the end of the tour. I'm not old enough to be particularly nostalgic about these 1980s units, neither do I particularly dislike a lot of the modern stock for what it is, but the enthusiast in me has a real soft spot for the classic, rugged utilitarianism of these trains, and I am sad to see them go. One of the difficulties of the preservation of this generation of trains is that it certainly doesn't have the same appeal as steam or early diesel/electric traction. That being said, the dwindling numbers of 80s era stock still have examples of many classes either in operation or at least some form of preservation. Long may that continue... #throwbackthursday #thursdaythoughts #uk_railfeatures #railways_of_our_world #trb_express #featurefriday #ukrailscene #class455 #metromarauder #railtour #emu #southern #southwesternrailway #classictrains #railenthusiast #fridayfacts #gb_rail_features #historyinthemaking #britishrail #wearerailfans (at London, Unιted Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeCheNXjP7y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Being a switchman in BN’s 31st Street Denver Yard with SD-9 6217 on January 15, 1987 probably wasn’t an enviable job. Is it quitting time yet?

At the same time as yesterday, my birthday wish is probably came true when my mom and my brothers, and I went to Durango for going to the regular and yet smoking train for a huge ride. And it feels like rode Disneyland railroad, but taking us to the whole new level in Frontierland as part of the old west, and this is why I’m really wish I want to go there from a very long time since I was a kid, so here we are being on better train in Durango and then rode from there to Silverton, Colorado is the best ride ever. I love to thank them for taken me to Durango & Silverton Railway for my early birthday since yesterday. #durango #durangocolorado #durangosilvertontrain #classictrain #colorado https://www.instagram.com/p/B0O9b6hFe1c/?igshid=kvzorayawwqs

#Repost @classic.trains (@get_repost) ・・・ August of 1968, these brand new C636's are likely on their first or second revenue trip as they roll through Manteno, Illinois. IC raised eyebrows when they ordered 6 of these beasts in 1968. They were initially used on the mainline but were soon relegated to hauling coal in southern Illinois and western Kentucky based out of Paducah where the big backshop could keep an eye on them. Every so often, one would escape and head north to Chicago on a coal train.

Final #timelapsetuesday brings another favorite, when I had the honor of painting the #silversky train originally a remnant of the #californiazephyr. The #riograndezephyr used the same route between Denver and Salt Lake City. All cars in the Rio Grande Zephyr had the prefix #silver in the name, the SilverSky was a vista -domed buffet lounge observation car. #art #arte #deltondemarest #denver #denverart #mtn94 #mtnhardcore #silversky #observationtrain #vistadome #axisatninemile #weathered #classictrain #trainbridge #colorado #mountains (at Axis at Nine Mile Station)
