On finals to land at Prestwick airport in Ayrshire Scotland is this RAF Airbus KC2 Voyager (A330 243MRTT) aircraft based at RAF Brize Norton on 10 Sqn. This aircraft is equipped with 2 air to air tanking points which defines it as a KC2 but the RAF has the capability to fit some Voyagers with 3 Tanking points known as KC3'S. This aircraft is a perfect choice for a tanking airframe as the A330 shares the same wing as the four engine A340 so where the second engine on each wing would have been on the A340 it is strengthened which is perfect for a refuelling point instead. This aircraft was delivered to the RAF in May 2014 making it the Ninth delivery in the fleet of the Future Strategic Tanker Transport programme and thus completing the core programme.
A shameless re-post for this last picture of the series. My only photo of this locomotive. It is rare and very not-rare at the same time: the loco got destroyed not much later after the photo was taken, but I stood here with 100+ other participants to a TSP trip.
Trois-Ponts. October 23, 1999.
Running 2 hours behind schedule, the eastbound California Zephyr arrives into Glenwood Springs with an unfamiliar leader at the helm. The westbound service had just departed Glenwood, running on time at that point, only slightly contrasting its counterpart bound for Chicago.

As the days shorten in late October, the light doesn't get much better than this as the westbound Sunset Limited arrives into Houston. Amtrak Train #1 is seen rolling out from under UH-Downtown on the Passenger Main of UP's Houston Subdivision. In a matter of moments, it will pull to a stop at the Houston Amtrak Station.
I took the picture from the roof of Post Houston, an excellent mixed-used adaptation of the former Downtown Post Office (which itself was built on the former site of SP's Grand Central Station).

Trať / line: CZ / 322 (Frýdek-Místek - Český Těšín)
Os12809 (Frýdek-Místek > Cieszyn, PL)
V grafikonu 2025/26 na slezské trati 322 naposledy kralují provozu Regionovy, ve dnech školního vyučování ráno a odpoledne na 3 párech zdvojené a na 2 párech doplněné 842 s vozem Bdtn. Ranní posily bylo možné vyfotit pouze do konce školního roku. Od prosincové změny jízdních řádů sem kraj plánuje BEMU pantery v rámci nové polookružní linky z Ostravy přes Karvinou a Český Těšín do Frýdku-Místku, kde se již staví dobíjecí stanice. V Dobré u Frýdku-Místku jsem v ranním slunci zachytil mezinárodní Os12809 vedený dvojicí regionov, které byly až v roce 2025 převedeny z domovské Opavy pod depo Valašské Meziříčí v souvislosti s nasazením ETCS na páteřní trať z Ostravy, po které dříve najížděly na výkony do Bílovce a Nového Jičína.
EN: The 2025/26 timetable marks the final era of *Regionova* dominance on Silesian line 322; on school days, three pairs of services run as coupled units in the morning and afternoon, while two pairs are supplemented by a Class 842 railcar hauling a *Bdtn* trailer. Opportunities to photograph the morning extra services were limited to the end of the school year. Following the December timetable change, the region plans to introduce BEMU *Panter* units here as part of a new semi-circular route connecting Ostrava, Karviná, and Český Těšín to Frýdek-Místek—where a charging station is currently under construction.
