👻🚂Locomotive graveyard. Lebanon’s ghost train stations stand frozen in time and choked by unchecked plant growth.

The first railway opened in 1895 under the Ottoman Empire. It ran from Beirut to Damascus. By the 1930s, Lebanon had joined the Orient Express network via the Taurus Express link through Homs.

After decades of decline and wartime damage, the final train service ran in 1990.

A busy day at #Skoltegrunnskaien in #Bergen in the mid-20s. While the passengers on the docked steamship had to find alternative ways into town, the #train on the right was there exclusively for the goods.

The #railway tracks out here on the quay were opened in 1921 to streamline logistics, allowing cargo to be transferred from keel to wheel.

A black and white photograph from the 1920s. On the left, a large steamship is docked. On the right, a steam locomotive sits on tracks in the cobblestone pier. People stand on the quay between the ship and the freight train. In the background, cranes and a mountain silhouette are visible through the smoke.

Can you tell what it is?
Crazy day for me!
My 3 year project is now sent for publication. This is a model I built for it (randomly mashed in my particle engine) The game, Coaster Loco, will hopefully be approved for in a few days :D

🚂 Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad No. 643, the sole surviving H-1 class 2-10-4 "Texas" type steam locomotive engine built in 1944 by Baldwin. Weighing around 520,000 lb, it is one of the heaviest steam locomotives ever built.

Photos from 2018, when it sat #abandoned in an impound. Now it is restored and part of the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum in Sugarcreek, Ohio.

One of the things that make riding on a museum steam train memorable. The steam billowing between the carriages with the open balconies.

This image captures the interior corridor of what appears to be an old-fashioned train carriage. The perspective is from inside the train, looking through an open doorway. The door frame and walls are made of polished wood, giving the scene a vintage feel.

In the background, there is a closed wooden door with frosted glass panels, and some steam or smoke is visible, partially obscuring the view. The steam or smoke adds a sense of movement and atmosphere to the scene. The floor of the corridor is also wooden, and the lighting is somewhat dim, contributing to the nostalgic ambiance.

On the left side of the image, there are green upholstered seats, and a person is partially visible through the steam or smoke, standing near the closed door. The overall scene evokes a sense of travel and history, with a focus on the details of the train's interior.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: the Jacobite heading towards Mallaig (or the Hogwarts Express heading towards the school, depending on your preference). Either way, it's just left Glenfinnan.

A steam train locomotive resting on the platform at Sydney’s Central Station 🚂💨 Even without moving, it has so much presence and history. Moments like this make busy stations feel timeless.
