A day trip to Teulada northeast of Calpe travelling on the metre gauge Alicante - Dénia Line. It is being seriously upgraded and last year Teulada was the end of train working, the rest of the journey being by bus. Things have moved on & today the train/bus interchange is at the next station to the north at Gata de Gorges MAN 2500 Series diesel multiple unit 2506 is seen entering the station from Gatos

Amid the spectacular scenery of Snowdonia, Beyer-Garratt NGG16 2-6-2 + 2-6-2T 138 (1958), formerly of the South African Alfred County Railway, climbs the steep gradient south of Rhyd Ddu with the return train to Caernafon. This was my first trip on the railway and was definitely worth the visit. At this time the line terminated at Pont Croesor in the middle of nowhere a few miles north of Portmadog, a 45mile round trip, but today it runs the full length of the line to Portmadog.

A journey on the metre gauge Chemin de Fer de la Baie de Somme from St Valery-sur-Somme to Le Crotoy in northern France. This is the pretty terminal station at Le Crotoy with the turntable & engine shed in the foreground. Our train from St Valery was pulled by Nord 0-6-0 diesel 352 seen in the platform.

The southern terminus of the former ESA metre gauge line from Alicante to Denia was at La Marina station and the original 1913 station building still stands. FGV (Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana) tram 4231 is seen entering the station from the north on an L5 service which will terminate a few 100 yards off to the left at Puerta del Mar. HFF to everyone & have a great weekend.

The 08.55 train from Wernigerode HSB to the Brocken pulled by metre gauge 2-10-2T 99 7234-0 leaves a smokescreen as it curves away from the main line and approaches Wernigerode Westerntor station off left. The former East German Brocken listening station & towers are on the mountain summit above the train. The Brocken station is adjacent and lies at 1125m, so the train faces a climb of 890m from this point to arrive at the top at 10.36.
