#Perković 🇭🇷, a village high up in the Dalmatian mountains, is an important railway hub, as seen on my photo taken in May 2019. From left to right: a #HŽ Class 7122 “Swedish” railcar on a local to #Šibenik, a “German” Class 7123 tilting train on a local to #Split and a Class 2063, 3,300 hp diesel.

Love a train, especially where food is available - the ÓBB RailJet from Innsbruck to Munich today @diningcar.at

🚃🚃 Novel catering trolley on the 1015 Intercity Rome to Arezzo. Bit of inspiration from Indian Railways perhaps but does the job. 🍫🥤☕️

There’s a good @diningcar.at onboard selling a variety of cold and microwaveable food (I bought chicken and noodles for about £7). But there’s also a microwave at the end of each carriage so many people have simply bought their own food to heat up.

Ein sehr schöner Film. Damals ging es noch ordentlich zu und das Personal salutierte zur Begrüßung! www.filmarchiv.at/de/filmarchi...

Business Class on this train costs €23, but honestly I would always pay the extra. There is a @diningcar.at but only selling sandwiches, snacks and drinks... 🇺🇿

Guten Morgen aus dem #Speisewagen des #RJ175. Zum Frühstück gibt es Schinken-Käse-Omelett, dazu Cappuccino. Auf geht’s in den Tag! #bahn @deutsche-bahn.bsky.social @ceskedrahyofficial.bsky.social @diningcar.at @speisewagen.com

Good Morning from the #SBB🇨🇭#InterCity from #Basel to #Lugano. Starting into the day with #Breakfast in the (rather stylish) #Elventino #DiningCar, located in the centre of this #Stadler #SMILE #RABe501 #Giruno trainset. Beautiful view of the Swiss Alps as we approach #Lucerne.

Photo of the December 2019 #Samichlaus, i.e. Santa, special on the metre-gauge #SBB🇨🇭#Brünig line south of #Lucerne. A HGe 4/4I electric from 1954 is hauling the train. The #Zentralbahn railroad operates an hourly service to #Interlaken over this line which includes several rack and pinion sections.

#Sofia 🇧🇬 to #Belgrade 🇷🇸 in June 2010. The consist includes a Serbian #ŽS #ЖС seat car and a Bulgarian #BDŽ #БДЖ sleeper to #Vienna 🇦🇹 via #Budapest 🇭🇺. Beautiful scenery as we approach #Niš. The train is hauled by a Class 661 diesel here. Wooden giraffes and other bulky items travel in the vestibule.

The food on Etihad Rail is complimentary in both classes 🚆 Comfort / Second Class could be a shawarma snack box with OJ, coffee & water, and Premium / First Class includes hot meals such as chicken machboos, cheese parathas, fruit salad & many drink options 🇦🇪 #NonstopEurotrip

The Sofia-Istanbul sleeper has been diverted over this new line, arrival now 07:21 vice 09:56. Departure westbound now 23:13 vice 20:00. Details at www.seat61.com/trains-and-r...

Night trains good

Nun habe ich es zufällig endlich auch zu einer DB-FV-Abschiedsfahrt geschafft, und zu was für einer: Der Abschied vom RIC-Intercity bei DB Fernverkehr, heute Abend, gerade jetzt, geht mit dem IC 2026 Wiesbaden – Hamburg eine Ära zu ende 🥲 Schönes Programm, tolles Rundherum, danke an alle,

Seen earlier today on the #SBB🇨🇭#Gotthard line: an #SBBhistoric excursion train. The short consist included the red lightweight #DiningCar #WR700 from 1958 and was hauled by an #Re6/6 #Re620 electric. When they were built in the 1970s, these locos were among the world’s most powerful locomotives.

Schnitzel und Zwickl #railjet @diningcar.at

Currently celebrating 200 years of railways in Poland and 100 years of PKP.. Including a celebration of travelling in the @diningcar.at

🇵🇱🚅☕Paging @diningcar.at to report a double espresso in a stylish cup on @pkpintercitypdp.bsky.social EIC Lech from Warsaw to Poznań. The waitress looked at me strangely when I asked for a glass of water, though.

My first ride on Etihad Rail is on this CAF unit from #AbuDhabi to #Dubai in the 2+2 layout Comfort / Second Class 🚆 This 1 hour trip starts from just €9.50 and even includes food, water & coffee! 🇦🇪 The ride quality is somewhat bumpy, but everything else is comfortable enough! #NonstopEurotrip

Friendly and efficient crew on the 08:10 KGX-LDS here! And that breakfast frittata was just right…

A photo taken in August 2012 at #Hel 🇵🇱. Pictured here is the #PKP #TLK night train “Mierzeja” from #Kraków which terminated there. A Class SM42 diesel was hauling the train over the non-electrified bit north of the #Gdynia, #Sopot, and #Gdańsk Tri-City area, and across the Hel peninsula.

Der "Emona"-Speisewagen hat einen neuen Betreiber und eine neue, alte Speisekarte: potniski.sz.si/wp-content/u... Angeblich jetzt auch mit Kartenzahlung 😳 @diningcar.at @jaroslavrudis.bsky.social

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...

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!
