Historic train spotting and always fun to see a picture/angle one hasn't seen before. I wonder if @crs1026 is in the crowd :)

 
Saw the CN Business Train in Pickering today:

Something little different. For some reason this popped into my FB feed. For some reason I couldn't copy the text that accompanied it but, apparently this was a conversion in Austria in the 1930s. DC overhead power was inverted to 3-phase AC, then rectified to DC and fed to motors attached to 3 of the drivers. All of the electrical hardware was inside the hollowed-out boiler jacket.

All was lost after Germany invaded.
