Bay Line Railroad EMD GP38 501 (second generation) shunted freight cars in Panama City, Florida.

In the Barceolana airport train station, the Renfe railcar 9-440-022-2 is waiting for its passengers and the departure towards the city center.

The FGV (Ferrocarrils de la Generalitats Valenciana) operates various regional routes in the region of Valencia and Alicante, since August 15, 2003 as a light rail (tram).

Even in the sunshine state of Florida it can be foggy; In Panama City, the EMD GP38 N° 501 of the Bay Line Railroad shunts some freight cars.

The SBB ETR 610 005 is the EC 39 from Geneva to Milan.

Bay Line Railroad EMD GP38 501 (second generation) shunted freight cars in Panama City, Florida. The Type B-B Road Switcher diesel locomotive was built in August 1969 by Electro Motive Division (EMD) under the serial number EMD 35170. I interpret “Road Switcher” as a mainline and shunting locomotive. A smaller CV of the locomotive: built for the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio with number 707, later to Illinois Central Gulf with number 9526, subsequently to Paducah & Louisville with number 2000 and from 1990 to the Bay Line with number 501 ; The number 501 was previously occupied by the GP7 from 1952. The Bay Line Railroad was founded in the early 20th century. At that time, traffic in the ports increased steadily and a modern port was built in Panama City, Florida. This subsequently required a railway line to transport the goods to and from it, which was then built from Panama City to Atlanta, but was never able to have the successful traffic that was expected. The Bay Line Railroad today runs between Panama City (Florida) and Dothan (Alabama) with a branch from Grimes to Abbeville (Alabama). The main line was built in 1908 by the Atlanta & Saint Andrews Bay Railroad (ASAB), with the idea of connecting Atlanta to the to connect the port of Panama City, but this goal was never achieved. Nevertheless, the railway was able to maintain a relatively short freight service. At times there was even passenger traffic. The Stone Container Corporation purchased the line from the Atlanta & Saint Andrews Bay in 1987 and sold it in 1994 to the Rail Management Corporation, which formed the new Bay Line Railroad company. Genesee & Wyoming acquired the assets including the Bay Line Railroad in 2005. The following goods are transported on the route, which is now 154 miles long: chemicals, coal, food and feed, forest products, ores and minerals, steel and scrap. Analogue picture from November 1992 
