Keeping with the same company as the Rossiya (Trans-Siberian), Indian Pacific, or California Zephyr, one of the most famous passenger trains on the Trans Mongolian Railway is Train 275/276. This daily train operates between Beijing to Ulaanbaatar, with a journey clocking in at around 30 hours. Leading these trains from the Chinese border near Zamiin-Uud to Ulaanbaatar recently are the TE33AC's, General Electric GEVO's built to Commonwealth of Independent States standards. The train itself is long for sure, one of the longest on Earth. They're typically made up of 27 cars and capable of transporting approximately 1200 passengers.

Here having just crossed the Gobi Desert during the overnight hours, Train 275 nears its destination as it drops down the horseshoe curve at Khonhor. This day's train was a "short" one at only 25 coaches.

The term "lengthy" doesn't really do this train justice. It's more like a land going version of a White Star Line ocean liner. But man, seeing this turquoise snake was the highlight of every trackside excursion.

On the 16th July 2026 with the weather looking absolutely beautiful I spent a lot of the day at Fairwood Junction, In the local area or at the pub in Westbury, Some really nice shots of the Railway & Railfreight during the day with the odd unit thrown in too to compliment the sun burn. Also visited the Bath, Wilts & North Dorset Gliding club at Kingston Deverill who we're very active and very friendly people in the afternoon given the freight had somewhat dropped off for a few hours at peak.

Operated primarily by Southern on the UK rail network, unit 377702 is part of the Class 377/7 sub-class. These trains are dual-voltage, meaning they can operate both via an overhead line (AC) and a third rail (DC). They are frequently seen on commuter routes around London and the South East, such as services running along the West London Line between East Croydon and Milton Keynes seen here heading south on the WCML passing Carpenders park.
