Od dzisiaj tj. 21.07.2026, linia kolejowa 78 (Sandomierz - Grębów) została zamknięta pod gruntowną modernizację. Stanowiła ona jedno z ramion trójkąta składającego się ze szlaków Sobów - Sandomierz oraz Sobów - Grębów i umożliwiała przewozy z Sandomierza w kierunku Stalowej Woli bez konieczności zmiany czoła w Sobowie. Z całego trójkąta uchowała się najdłużej przed remontem. Odcinek z Sobowa (Tarnobrzegu) do Sandomierza został oddany do użytku po remoncie właśnie dzisiaj, za to między Sobowem, a Grębowem linia jest rozkopana od października.

From today (21.07.2026), the railway line no. 78 (Sandomierz - Grębów) has been closed for modernisation works. It was one of the sides of the triangle consisting of the Sobów - Sandomierz and Sandomierz - Grębów railways and enabled trains to pass from Sandomierz towards Stalowa Wola without the need of changing direction in Sobów. It managed to hide away from rail works the longest as the line from Sobów (Tarnobrzeg) to Sandomierz was put into service just today. The line from Sobów to Grębów has been closed since October. In the frame EP09-034, a member of a slowly diminishing loco series is hauling train IC 3136 „Witos” from Przemyśl to Warszawa. In a couple minutes it will arrive in Sandomierz.

I had planned for a day out but wanted a couple of shots of these visiting industrials lineside first. In the event I only lasted until I took this shot. Probably the effects of prolonged sunshine and heat....

The Severn Valley Summer Gala is a new event and quite low key. Loadings in the morning seemed reasonable without being packed out. The Kerr Stuart is from the Foxfield Railway [I suspect it will stay in the area to appear at the Welland Steam Rally though the loco has not been announced yet]. The Neilson is visiting from the Chasewater line.

Neilson 0-4-0ST No 11 2932 of 1882 and Kerr Stuart 0-4-0ST Witch class 4388 app Foley Park tunnel on 18-7-26.

The working is the 11.25 Bewdley to Kidderminster shuttle service.

While Amtrak has had ALC-42's since 2021, July 2026 marked the first time the P42 successors were assigned to the Sunset Limited. On this warm summer evening, the very first Train #1 behind Chargers preforms its station work at the Houston Amtrak station.

Unfortunately, some factors outside Amtrak's control spoiled this first westbound trip for the ALC-42's. The train lost 3 hours between Beaumont and Houston: first due to a CPKC grain train stalling out on Dayton Hill, and then further due to some poor dispatching by UP in the Houston Terminal. Then heavy rains washed out the Sunset Route west of San Antonio, so this train would be killed there. The trainset would be spun at San Antonio and return to New Orleans on Friday as Train #2.

For the United States' 250th anniversary of independence, many American railroads painted locomotives in celebration. While Amtrak did repaint an entire Acela trainset, they also more modestly added decals of a couple different designs to handful of both diesel and electric locomotives.

Here is the America 250 decal on AMTK 318, seen during the locomotive's Houston station stop while on the first trip for Chargers on the Sunset LImited.
