EFE class 80 4-8-2, Chile

The EFE Tipo 80 was a series of 4-8-2 steam locomotives constructed for the Chilean State Railways. The series consisted of 69 engines built in five batches between 1929 and 1953. The first four batches were built by Baldwin Locomotive Works, consisting of twelve engines numbered 801 to 812 purchased in 1929, followed by seven additional engines numbered 813 to 819 in 1937, then five more numbered 820 to 824 in 1940, and fifteen numbered 825 to 839 in 1947, the final three of which were built in the railway's Maestranza San Bernardo shops using spare components. The fifth and final batch was built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries between 1952 and 1953, consisting of 29 engines numbered 840 to 869.

The engines were designed to operate express passenger service between Santiago, Talca, San Antonio, and Cartagena, and would be relegated to more southern portions of the network as the railway electrified. The class was retired around 1980, with most engines scrapped. Eleven examples are known to be preserved.

Oslo metro class OS T1000 at Skullerud, 1969

As can be seen, the one in the pic is at the end of a line - the Østensjø Line of the Oslo Metro (T-banen). This section travels above ground through picturesque semi-rural landscapes, although urbanisation has happened a lot since this pic. The T1000 series (and its T1300 variants) was completely phased out between 2006 and 2010. They were fully replaced by the modern silver Siemens MX3000 diesel multiple units. 

The T1000 were manufactured primarily by the Norwegian company Strømmens Verksted, in collaboration with NEBB and AEG, between 1964 and 1978. Known for their distinct bright red/orange livery, these steel-bodied cars served as the backbone of Oslo's eastern subway expansion during the late 20th century.

Marseille, France, tram in 1961

A “Standard” tram. a 1944 reconstruction of trams from 1925, power: 4 × 42 hp, empty weight 17.2 tons.

Line No. 68 opened in December 1893 and is the only tramway line to remain in service during the later part of the twentieth century. It “stretched from Noailles to Alhambra, serving La Plaine, the Boulevard Chave, the La Blancarde railway station and Saint-Pierre cemetery. The central terminus [was] situated in a tunnel. This tunnel, built in 1893, [was] unique in France and was built to give access to the city centre, avoiding the narrow streets of some of Marseille’s suburbs. Because of the problems involved in converting the line to bus use it was decided to keep the line operational.”

Line 68 [was] 3 km (1.9 miles) long and was out of use for a few years. The decision to modernise it was taken in 1965 and the line had reopened by 1969 when twenty-one PCC tramcars were purchased and the whole track relaid. “The first of the PCC cars arrived on 26 December 1968 and the first tram went into service on 20th February 1969. The last of the old tramcars was withdrawn that spring. Modernisation resulted in an increase in passengers. Numbers increased from 4,917,000 passengers in 1968 to 5,239,000 in 1973.”

avion monoplace (single seat plane) poster, 1912

In 1912, M. Campion presented the original poster "Single-Seat Aircraft," illustrating the innovation and enthusiasm surrounding the early days of aviation. The artwork depicted a monoplane, a then groundbreaking aircraft characterized by its single pair of wings, against an open sky, symbolizing the boundless possibilities of flight.

"Single-Seat Aircraft" embodied the spirit of adventure and exploration that marked the beginnings of aviation. With vivid colours and dynamic composition, the poster aroused wonder and enthusiasm, inviting viewers to imagine themselves cleaving through the clouds aboard this engineering masterpiece.
