HG 4/4 # 708 steams in the morning sun at the DFB excursion train prepares to depart from Realp. The Furka Cogwheel Railway operates steam (and diesel) powered excursions over the very scenic Furka Pass.
This 0-8-0T class rack-and-adhesion steam locomotive was built in 1930 by the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works Winterthur and delivered to the Compagnie Générale de Colonies Paris railway company in Indochina, present-day Vietnam. As part of the reactivation of the Furka mountain railway in 1990, HG 4/4 #704 and #708 returned to Switzerland by the DFB (Furka Cogwheel Railway) in an unprecedented "Back to Switzerland" operation. Following an extensive restoration, #708 was granted an indefinite operating license on June 24, 2025.

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.
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).
