This morning I’m posting from a NI Railways train en route Bangor, County Down.
I’m reviewing Scandinavian photos for my book on European Railway Travels.
This view of a Finnish intermodal train near Oulu didn’t make the cut.
I exposed it on Fujichrome slide film using my Nikon N90S with 135mm lens.
At 7:30pm tonight, Thursday 9 March, 2017, I plan to present my illustrated lecture called Night Trains, Pendolinos, Iron ore, Timber and Trams to the Irish Railway Record Society in Dublin.
This will be delivered at the IRRS premises near Heuston Station in Dublin (opposite the entrance to the car park). I will begin at 7:30pm (1930).

That’s an Eric Clapton Song right?
Shortly after midnight on the morning of 26 July 2015, Dv12 diesels depart Oulu yard with a laden timber train.
I exposed this view thanks to the help of my Finnish friend and railway guide Markku Pulkinnen.

For more than a half century, Dv12 diesel hydraulics have worked Finland’s 1,524mm gauge lines. (Purists will note that in their first decade this type was classified as Sv12).
During my recent visit to Finland I was delighted to find many of these old diesels still on the move. Some have been painted in the new white with green livery, but others were struggling on in their traditional paint, albeit with a green splotch painted across the front.
The Dv12 is to Finland, what the GP9 was to America, and the 141/181 Class General Motors diesels are to Ireland.
These are just a few detailed views made of these classic locomotives.
