Strasbourg trains

Post by John Ashworth »

A few shots taken between Strasbourg Station and Strasbourg Airport by John Ashworth, 15 May 2010

I like the streamlined diesel railcar in the first picture. The DMU in the last four shots is the one I took to the airport.

Nice pictures, John.

I was just looking where to post pictures of a French train in Luxembourg. Maybe this Gallery is the right one.

By the way: The streamlined diesel railcar (which also runs in Germany) call we

Whale - because of its looks.

Thanks, Andreas. It does look rather like a whale!

A lot of the British diesel locomotives were given nicknames by railway enthusiasts. Some were based on what they looked or sounded like, others I have no idea. Growler, hoover, shed, grid, gronk, crompton, teddy bear, rat, tractor, whistler and more.
