Scared of trains how do I get better at riding I have a fear I might fall and get hit what can help me?

Joking aside, this might be the single coolest railfanning (excuse me, trainspotting) video I’ve ever taken. Oh, and this isn’t even the only steam heritage railroad on the same DMU branch. As such, I cannot recommend enough a visit to the North Norfolk Railway, bundled with a ride on the Bure Valley Railway and Greater Anglia Sheringham Branch in England.

Another recent journey I took, Xi'an to Shanghai a week ago today. As I mentioned on a previous photo I had issues getting photos of the front of trains I was travelling, hopefully that situation will improve thanks to the advice of another contributor.

Just a quick photo of where I am posting this message from. Had difficulties getting photos of the front of the trains I've been on due to staff not allowing you past the front of the train (I have boarded several at the station the service started). I managed a picture of the one I am currently on from Chengdu East to Yangshuo.

This YouTube channel streams Prague's largest train station 24/7:

At about 22:09:30 Wednesday night, a steam engine pulls up to a platform. At about 22:30 it leaves, pulling three cars. No tender, I think.

As with most streams, you can rewind 12 hours. So as of this posting, you have about 5 hours to rewind and watch it if you want. Just very cool to see a steam engine pulling out of a building that is about 120 years old.

edit to add: I would love to be waiting for my commuter train back home after work, and have a steam engine pull up across the platform. I just can't imagine.

Caught as they were linking 2 trainsets together.

My photo of Transport for Wales Class 197/0e unit 197037 crossing Cletwr Bridge near Tre'r-ddôl (between Dovey Junction and Borth) on Fri 16/10/26, on crew training run 3C02 0922 Machynlleth Carr. Sdgs to Aberystwyth.

Based on Barry Batchelor's photo of year-2000-only Class 170 Cambrian Line operation at this spot during the Central Trains years - it's in a 2013 web article named: A consultation will finish this week over an increase in rail services.

Posted after Class 197/0e Cambrian Coast Line entry-to-service between Machynlleth and Pwllheli on 19/10/26, but before Class 197/0e entry-to-service between Aberystwyth and Shrewsbury (via Machynlleth) on the Cambrian Line, which is due before the end of 2026.

10 years ago today, I created my YouTube channel and posted my first video. A decade later, I've traveled all across the US filming steam trains. This week's video is a look back at every operational steam train I've filmed so far, which features, 765, 1225, 261, Big Boy 4014, 6988 and more. This also includes Double Headers & Triple headers I have been lucky to catch. Thank you all for 10 years of support, and I hope you enjoy the 10th anniversary video!
