So. Been a while since I've posted photos
Thanks to that, I have a huge number to post, so I'm just going to make a chain of replies with each photo
As a reminder, all my photos are under CC BY-SA, but in these cases, they have all been edited by my girlfriend @nycta, so if you use them you must credit her as well
Keeping CALM
Here, 800106 passes over the Dee river bridge, heading towards Aberdeen, where it terminates
I got this photo whilst waiting for the heritage train
Photo taken by me on a Canon EOS R50 with an RF 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 lens, edited in Lightroom by @nycta
Little more context as to who CALM are and why I think this photo is particularly interesting can be found in my CW'd comment below
Please

FINALLY, a heritage train in Aberdeen
what a treat to see :3
I was so excited to see this when I found out 37403 was on it, since 37403 is, as you can see, a large logo liveried Class 37 which in my opinion is one of the best liveries the Class 37s carried

Holytown Pt 2 - kind of passenger??
Holytown is, in fact, on the line between Edinburgh and Glasgow but only sees the stopper services along the route. Despite this, it gets ScotRail's modern EMU traction, Class 385s. These Hitachi-built trains built in 2018 can run at 160km/h and have 3 or 4 coaches. You'll also often see two 3-car sets coupled together, putting the front gangway to use.
On the other hand, Veramis Rail uses Class 321s for fast parcel work. These trains were built by BREL (British Rail Engineering Limited) in 1988. They're capable of 16*1* km/h (lol) and used to be passenger trains, but Veramis and Eversholt saw the potential for them to be converted into fast parcel trains, so that's what ended up happening.
Holytown Freight Pt 1 :3
From new to old, the Class 88s were built between 2015 and 2016 and are dual mode, running on both 25kV AC and Diesel power. They output around 4MW under electric power and are mainly used for Intermodal services, such as the one seen here.
On the other hand, the Class 37s were built between 1960 and 1965, run on only diesel and have approximately a third of the power of a Class 88 running on electric. Here it's shown in a ScotRail livery which.. Class 37s never had in the past, and so that exact livery is fictitious - two Class 37s currently hold that livery though. Being as it's a 37/4 (37409), it in fact has Electric Train Heating, instead of the steam heating the original trains had.
(Pls boost or else these go nowhere)
Thought I'd repost this photo, since it's one of my all-time favirorites
Taken in Hamburg Hbf, on a Canon EOS R100 with an RF 18-45mm lens
as always, pls boost, it means these photos actually get federated well :3
First photo of mine on this new account!
Colas Rail Class 70, 70802 trundles through Aberdeen, running next to Union Terrace Gardens, pulling a load of 1000 tonnes of clay from Aberdeen Waterloo down to Carlisle.

Ça reste ma photographie préférée depuis que j'ai mon #LumixG7 alors qu'elle a presque un an déjà.

All together now!
This image took... a while to edit. Whilst I'm not completely happy with the colours but my laptop struggled enough editing this, I thought I'd give it a break. (holy shit the CPU is at 82C and 100% on all cores trying to open it???)
Sadly.. this photo was not one photo - this was 4 stitched together in darktable. I wish I could get this photo in one go but given the way the BTS here in Bangkok works, that's incredibly unlikely.
It was taken from the side of W1 National Stadium station, facing CEN Siam station.
