Neu ab 1.11.: 2 tägliche Zugpaare Baku🇦🇿 - Tbilisi 🇬🇪, künftig gibt es nebem dem Nachtzug auch ein Zugpaar tagsüber. Leider mWn nach wie vor nicht von Leuten mit 🇪🇺-Pass benutzbar.

The @diningcar.at on Norway's brand-new FLIRT NEX, man I can't wait to enjoy a warm cup of tea here as the snowy landscapes pass by... 😋 (By the way, proper dining seats are just behind the camera in the first photo!)

And then, finally, a good train! We're on SJ's old but very cozy loco hauled Intercity service towards Oslo. The train features a bistro car, coffee supply is provided. 🥰 #HullerOmBullar

A quiet and cozy ride in a comfortable seat through beautiful landscape in the soft late afternoon light. This is exactly how I like my train trips! 🥰 #HullerOmBullar

After Kil, the Värmlansbanan curves through a hilly landscape with countless lakes. The sun has just set and all is illuminated by a magical light! 🥰 Fortunately, we can enjoy this a little longer as we (again!) don't cross the border to Norway and leave the train at Arvika. #HullerOmBullar

#Sarajevo 🇧🇦 station, one early morning in September 2008. In the foreground we see the train bound for #Ploče 🇭🇷 by the #Adriatic Sea, via the scenic Ivan Sedlo mountain pass line, Konjic and Mostar. In #BiH, a #ŽFBH Class 441.3 electric is hauling the train composed of former Swedish #SJ carriages.

Geen magnetronwerk in deze restauratie. Een echt erg lekkere goulashsoep en daarna een prima Schnitzel. Dit is wel reizen met stijl. 😊

#İzmir 🇹🇷 #Alsancak station in June 2010. A #TCDD overnight service has arrived from #Ankara, hauled by a Class DE22000 diesel. Engineer and Conductor are shaking hands. This is what railwaymen and -women do in many countries, at the beginning or the end of a shift, wishing each other safe travels.

Not exactly a photo of a European cross-border high-speed train, but it is almost as international as it can get. This is a #Subotica 🇷🇸 to #Szeged 🇭🇺 service at #Röszke, worked by a Serbian Railways Class 812 #Šinobus of German design, displaying the #Uerdingen diamond on the front. 📷 August 2012.

Jetset in Wien: Paralleleinfahrt von Kyivjet 🇺🇦 und Comfortjet 🇨🇿 #DaciaRuthenia

Heute gab’s wieder das 1er Menü im @diningcar.at @speisewagen.com der @ceskedrahyofficial.bsky.social im RJ 251 von Breclav nach Wien Hbf

Good bullar don't grow on trees, especially not where I live. The price to get one is travelling 1000 km north on rather unreliable lines. Trick No 1 is to cross Germany by night: Delay is less bad, if it means more sleep. First time in the new NJ sleeper, and I like it. #HullerOmBullar

I have no idea what a smart mug is, but they indeed paid attention to detail for the new X2000 interior design. As usual with SJ Snabbtåg, there is no ticket check as long as you're sitting on your reserved seat, so it is a very quiet ride up the Västra Stambanan to Katrineholm. #HullerOmBullar

The Snälltåget service to Oslo is an entire rake of former DB carriages. To my great delight including "Krogen", the train's @diningcar.at, which is one of the peculiar former German IR Bistros. Breakfast time! 😋 Preordered breakfast includes a cheese sandwich and a Kanelbulle! #HullerOmBullar

Comfy treinen, deze RailJets. Tijd voor een klein bezoekje aan de @diningcar.at . 😋

On the #Brussels 🇧🇪 to #Milan 🇮🇹 #EuropeanSleeper 🇪🇺 today, a “test” ride inside Switzerland. Hauled by a Class (6)193 #Beacon #Vectron, it includes couchettes, an iconic ex “Type P” stainless steel sleeper, and a “Bimz” seat car with opening windows, still displaying its light blue #InterRegio livery.

There is no denying the bad ride quality of these trains, mainly down to track quality, however I still managed 5 hours sleep and woke up to some stunning #TrainWindowViews and a nice @diningcar.at breakfast in northern Thailand 🇹🇭 #NonstopEurotrip

🌙 Es muss nicht immer die große Nachtzugfahrt sein. In der neuesten Ausgabe der Zugpost geht es um einen kleinen, aber feinen Nachtzug, den kaum jemand kennt. zugpost.org/nachtzug-mal...

Mein heimlicher Lieblings-Nachtzug

Nicht legendär, nicht besonders lang, dafür urgemütlich. Es muss nicht immer die große Nachtzugfahrt sein.

Interessante Fuhre hier in Spielfeld 🤓

Congratulations to @jonworth.eu on completing his record attempt for the longest train journey in the EU! 🚆🎉 We’ve just updated the route he took, hopefully we got it all right! → viaduct.world/share/j/F1lP... Looking forward to seeing who takes on the challenge next and tries to beat the record!

Last night on an #ÖBB 🇦🇹 #Graz to #Vienna domestic #InterCity. The train included #SBB🇨🇭#EuroCity #Transalpin cars. Originating in #Zurich, they were (re-)used for a Vienna round trip. As a consequence, the #DiningCar was Swiss, the crew and the menu Austrian. Enjoyed a Wiener Schnitzel for dinner.

#Lupoglav 🇭🇷 is a major stop on the #Istria railway line to #Pula, and still a quiet place this afternoon. A single #HŽPP Class 7122 railcar is awaiting further duties. Built in 1980 by #Fiat, this unit originally served as #SJ 🇸🇪 Class #Y1. This is why it’s nicknamed “Šveđanin” by local railfans.

I’ve a soft spot for these venerable AB30 sleeping-cars. Built in 1956 as P-types with 20 duplex single compartments, completely rebuilt in the 1990s with a more conventional 10-compartment layout usable as single double or triple. Only European sleeping car in stainless steel.

The Brussels-Milan European Sleeper passes Lake Lugano!

Calendars are here! 🚆📅 A big thank you to @tobiaswatzl.bsky.social for making Trains on viaducts possible! Together with Rails in European Cities, it’s one of our two calendars for 2027: two different perspectives on trains, journeys and railway networks. Pre-order now. Shipping starts 1 Oct.

Heading up into the Alps now!

Good morning! I’ve bought breakfast (it’s included in sleepers, extra in comfort standard and couchettes). We’ve just called at Arau, 3h15 late.

Tracks Worth Taking #4 🇷🇴 Romania's Olt Valley between Sibiu and Râmnicu Vâlcea is a true hidden gem. Enjoy rural scenery, visit a monastery along the way—and if you're "lucky", ride a nearly 100-year-old Malaxa diesel railcar still in regular service. 🚆 #MyTrainMap

PSA: im slowakischen Speisewagen (Wagon Slovakia) auf den EX Bratislava – Košice gibt es nun (im umgebauten ex-ÖBB-Speisewagen) Bier vom Fass 🤩

"Someone's sitting there!" My seat for the 20 minutes under the sea. On a eurostar train, both Train Managers have to sit in the vestibule of the extreme coaches for the duration of the Channel Tunnel transit. It means that we are in position should an evacuation be necessary.
