2009: RANDOM ROLLINGSTOCK / RAILCARS FINALE

 

Hello, again viewers.

This post marks three milestones.

Firstly, we finally find ourselves at the end of our 2009 coverage and have started preparing to move into 2010. Given the continuing wide variety of topics photographed, we will be mostly continuing the random guff-type posts both here, and on our travel blog. 

Also, the site passed 320,000 views while I was partaking in my 14th Philippine trip in September. An amazing achievement and I thank everyone who has visited over 25 years.

On a less happy note, Blogger is being even worse than its usual demented self, with some changes about to be placed on either some or all, of my sites.

While an explanation was issued, it was in that sort of language only these tech companies seem to understand.

So, while for now I still have some posts set to appear here, I am on the lookout for a viable replacement for Blogger. Something it seems many are in the process of doing :-(

The ROTEM railcars were all delivered with traditional PNR logos.

I've no idea who this lovely lady was, but she was somehow related to the Rotem sets and these tests.

 Still so new that the seats and floor remained covered in plastic, and the air-conditioning purely awesome..
