My favourite ÖBB 1144 at Zell am See.

I like those too; neat, compact locomotives.

I didn't realise Tesco had their own trains now, every little helps I suppose



Actually this is the first time I've seen a none 'power/energy supply' goods train for a while, nice to see the rails carrying something else.

And a push/pull unit on the narrow gauge Pinzgauerlokalbahn.

...where it was also Dampfzug day (sorry for photo, wasn't time to run over and get a better one).

This 1144 is called Rupert!

Saw some neat double-bonnet freight locos, like a big BR class 17, but couldn't get a decent photo from a moving train. I think they are class 1163 (electric shunters).

They have been about for years. Safeway (now Morrisons) also do or at least did it too.

I remember seeing the Safeway train on the Far North Line at Forsinard behind a couple of '37s' many years ago. I took a picture which got published in Rail Magazine.
I got £15 out of that! 😆

To be fair I don't travel next to the West Coast Main Line (I was on the M6 next to it) very often, the lines near me are far more likely to have those energy fuel trains on. We guessed it (Tesco) was going to Heysham Port or Scotland.

It was built in the year of my birth.
