A photo taken in #Brussels in March 2002: back then, #SNCB #NMBS Class HLE16 electrics used to haul some of the international #InterCity trains between #Oostende and #Köln. These locos were able to operate, i.a., under 3kV DC and 15 kV AC wires.
And: Happy National Day to all Belgians! 🇧🇪🎉🥳🍻🍟

One of the classics when it comes to French locomotives: an #SNCF 🇫🇷 Class #CC72000 diesel, of the “nez cassé”, broken nose, design, ready to haul an #InterCity train, composed of refurbished #Corail carriages.
Picture taken at Lyon-Perrache in May 2007.
Since it’s Saint Patrick's Day 🍀 🇮🇪: going through pictures taken in #Ireland in August 2024, travelling from #Dublin to #Belfast with the #IrishRail #Translink #Enterprise #InterCity. It’s a push-pull train. There’s an IÉ Class 201 diesel, and … (🥁) it’s got a bar-buffet style #DiningCar (sort of).
#FS 🇮🇹 #Trenitalia #InterCity trains, like the #Ventimiglia to #Milano one today, haven’t got a proper #DiningCar in their consists. Yet, in most cases, there’s a multi-purpose car with vending machines and an area with bar stools. The espresso coffee, it costs 1.30 Euros, is actually quite decent.☕️👌
With #Trenitalia 🇮🇹 #FS #InterCity from #Ventimiglia to #Genova and #Milano. Beautiful scenery, as we pass along the #Mediterranean and through coastal towns.
A picture taken at Villa S. Giovanni 🇮🇹 in October 2017: an #FS #Trenitalia #InterCity, hauled by a Class E.402B electric is ready to make its early morning departure. This is, most likely, a Reggio Calabria to Roma Termini service.
A photo taken at #Düsseldorf 🇩🇪 Hbf in April 2007: a #DB Class 120 is hauling an #InterCity train.
Two #FS 🇮🇹 #Trenitalia #InterCity trains are seen here at #Venice S.L. station in the early 2000s. A Class E.402A is hauling the one on the left whereas the one on the right will depart in push-pull mode with its cab-car (driving trailer) leading. All vehicles on the photo display the #XMPR livery.
#Koblenz 🇩🇪 Hbf. in November 2005: a #DB Class 181.2 dual voltage loco, able to operate under 15 kV and 25kV AC overhead wires, has just been coupled onto an #InterCity for #Luxembourg 🇱🇺. The line follows the #Mosel valley, making this a very scenic ride.
A picture taken in autumn 2004 at #Ancona station: this is a northbound #FS 🇮🇹 #Trenitalia #InterCity in #XMPR livery, travelling along the #Adriatica line. The consist, hauled by an E.444R electric, includes #GranConfort type cars - the ones positioned right behind the loco.
A picture from the early 2000s, taken from the window of a #Munich 🇩🇪 bound train: as we pass #Prien am Chiemsee, we come across an eastbound #InterCity hauled by a #DB Class 120 electric, displaying its orient-red livery with “Latz” front. The first car is a driving trailer (cab car), seemingly dead-heading.
A cloudy, or rather foggy, morning at #Udine 🇮🇹 in December 2000, almost 25 years ago: an #FS Class E.444R “Tartaruga” (🐢) electric will soon depart with a southbound #Trenitalia #InterCity in tow.
It seems that today marks the end of #DB 🇩🇪 #InterCity #Kurswagen through cars to #Dagebüll Mole. They did split from #Marschbahn services to #Westerland #Sylt at #Niebüll. I digged out this picture taken in June 2007. Back then, an Austrian-built #Jenbach diesel railcar worked the train.
#Salerno 🇮🇹 in April 2012: an #FS #Trenitalia 200 kph Class E444R #Tartaruga (🐢) electric is hauling an #InterCity train, displaying the XMPR livery, reflecting the carrier’s visual corporate identity back then.
#Hässleholm 🇸🇪 in early 1985. Photo taken on the occasion of my first visit to #Sweden. A Class Rc electric of the Swedish Railways #SJ is hauling an #InterCity train, composed of various types of carriages. They two cars right behind the loco are of the, back then rather new, B7 type.
First train today: #Palermo 🇮🇹 to #Messina by #Trenitalia #InterCity. It’s a push-pull operation: after the ferry-crossing from #Sicily to the mainland, the train will be coupled to a section originating in #Siracusa. I’m travelling in a former, 2nd generation, Grand Confort car, refurbished to an “IC Sun” interior with seat bays for two or four passengers. And: there are vending machines for drinks and snacks on the train, but no @diningcar .
#Rome 🇮🇹 to #Livorno on board #IC510. This is one of #Trenitalia’s (very) long-distance daytime #InterCity trains: 11 hours from #Salerno to #Torino. It hasn’t got a #DiningCar, just an ex-#SelfService carriage with vending machines and a few bar stools.
Passing Roma S. Pietro, we see the track leading into the Vatican. It is used, for instance, if members of the College of Cardinals are travelling as a group by charter train - a stretch of line off limits for the ordinary train buff.

#Munich 🇩🇪 Hbf in March 2002: a consist composed of DB cars in #Produktfarben livery: back then, the colour scheme determined the type of service a car was designed to operate: blue, like these, for medium distance #InterRegio trains and red for long distance #InterCity services.

Hoyerswerda. Nachdem ein Testzug der polnischen Staatsbahn PKP im Juni probeweise im Bahnhof gehalten hat, sieht nun tatsächlich alles danach aus, dass die Stadt mehr oder weniger Anschluss an den internationalen Schienenpersonen-Fernverkehr erhält.hoyte24.de
Seen at Villa S. Giovanni 🇮🇹 about a week ago: an #FS #Trenitalia “Hitachi Blues” Class #HTR412 #hybrid unit on an #InterCity service along the “Ionian Line” from #Bari. These are tri-mode trains, able to operate under 3kV DC catenary, as a diesel unit or even battery powered.
The #FS 🇮🇹 #Trenitalia #InterCity trains running between #Sicily and #Rome don’t have a proper #DiningCar in their consist. However, there’s a snack point (with a coffee machine) in a multi-purpose car. These cars were rebuilt from various types of 1970s #GranConfort or #SelfService diners.
At #Messina 🇮🇹 our #FS #Trenitalia #InterCity is loaded onto a #ferry that takes us to Villa S. Giovanni, in #Calabria, the southern tip of mainland #Italy. The barman on the ferry most likely holds a world record: he is selling food and drinks to hundreds of customers during the short crossing.
Leaving #Sicily 🇮🇹 for mainland #Italy. The #FS #Trenitalia #InterCity service from #Palermo operates in push-pull mode, with the cab-car, the driving trailer, leading. Nice views as we travel along Sicily’s northern coast.
Pictures taken, around the turn of the millennium, on the #Lötschberg 🇨🇭 line, while travelling from #Spiez to #Brig in a Swiss fresh air coach. This is an #InterCity from #Basel, probably IC 331 “Val d’Ossola”, with the first six air-conditioned cars, provided by #FS #Trenitalia, going as far as #Milano 🇮🇹.
