I saw a BNSF Locomotive the other day that was the old Santa Fe silver, red, and yellow. I took some picture's and was going to post them, but worried about doxing myself.

Then I started to wonder if I could watch where this train is going etc.

I did an internet search but turned up nothing useful.

Change the last 5 digits for the code of the train station you want, it can be easily found at https://wwe.adif.es/

I don't find it very useful but I thought it was neat because these are the actual displays of the stations

The new Airo trains, which will be running on every trip on Amtrak Cascades by next spring, bring a bevy of new passenger features from upgraded seats to overhauled restrooms. The first trips are scheduled to start rolling out of King Street Station on September 30.

Are we going to get the Stadler (Vossloh) EURO assembled in Canada, or a new North America-specific design? I wasn't expecting new locos to be anything other than more Siemens Chargers.

This special train runs in the western state of Rajasthan. This was off-season for the train [mainly folks take it during the rainy season]. I happened to be the sole passenger in the train in both UP and DN directions.

In this image, one can see the lonely platform where the train is waiting for loco reversal

Amtrak Airo is a new class of intercity, high-speed passenger trainsets being built by Siemens Mobility for Amtrak. The trainsets are based on the Siemens Charger ALC-42E locomotives and Siemens Venture passenger cars, and are intended to replace older equipment used on the Northeast Corridor and state-supported routes throughout the United States.

Service is expected to start on the Cascades in late 2026. Service on the Northeast Regional is expected in 2027, and on the Carolinian, Downeaster, Keystone, Palmetto, Pennsylvanian, and Vermonter in 2029. Service is expected to start in 2030 on the Adirondack, Empire Service, Ethan Allen Express, and Maple Leaf.

Most Amtrak Airo trainsets are designed to operate on both electrified and non-electrified lines without the need to change locomotives. This is achieved through a hybrid configuration using a Siemens Charger ALC-42E diesel-electric locomotive and either an Auxiliary Power Vehicle (APV) or a battery car.

The APV will be used on trains that use track with overhead lines (catenary).

Alberni Pacific Rail along with its partners cut a ribbon marking an extension of its usable rail line before the upcoming tourist season

Fallen in dis-use due to closure of line, this harks back to a different age

This ran on a Narrow gauge line transporting goods. Installed to mark the centenary of the rail station.
