They have signs up warning about them but he still gave me a scare.  There's a guy on Instagram thats collecting them as pets from this location.

I only saw one on a campsite in Sweden.
Here in NL I never did.

Thanks a lot!

you're welcome!

No Trains Today.  On the way home this afternoon, our journey took us under this new railway viaduct construction.  Unable to resist, I put the drone up for a shot, knowing your passion for railways.  
This is the recently-opened north bypass route carrying the TGV (High Speed Train) from Rennes to Paris non-stop without having to go through the station at Laval.  It has been in use for a year or so.

Would've been better with a train on it

Would've been better with a train on it

It would.
Or even with a bit more depth in the railway (making that your leading line)
But that is just personal preference of course

Wow nice work you have a great future.

The central station is in a NFZ as you might expect. So I got you this picture with my phone camera. from the bridge above the railway line.

When droning over the out-of-town signal box the other day, I caught a couple of diesel passenger trains in shot:

There's a large railway viaduct crossing parkland in the valley about a kilometre from here. I want to get a video of a train crossing that. Just waiting for the right conditions

Ai.
That is too bad.
On the positive side.
It is not a freight train
