I thought I’d give Dracula Daily another go this year and started listening to Re: Dracula, the audio podcast version, and it is really really good!! It’s like reading it, except everything feels a little more fleshed out, a little more alive, a little more real.

#dracula daily #re: dracula #p #i'm once again kind of... touched by all these peasants; the inn people and the wagon driver and the passengers #and how much they try to warn jonathan off of what he's doing #the wagon driver who gets to the meeting point deliberately an hour early #just so he can go '' WELL! Looks like nobody's here to pick you up Mr. Englishman; what a shame; you better come Back With Us To Town And-'' #and then of course that's when dracula gets there but like. he tried. he went out of his way to try and the whole carriage of passengers #was in on it too

An introduction to VR passenger carriages, part 1: the blue carriages

In our next series of introducing our rolling stock, we will be looking at passenger carriages. I was actually thinking of doing multiple units next, but @hapotonradio requested I do the blue carriages and a lot of people seemed to like the idea so here we go.

I can already hear foreigners (and non-rail enthusiast Finns too) going "what the hell are the blue carriages?" Well, the blue carriages were/are the first Finnish steel-bodied passenger carriages, with over 600 units (depending a bit on what you count as being actual blue carriages) of different types built between 1961 and 1986. Today, almost all of them have been retired. Which is a shame, because they were sexy.

The first 15 blue carriages were built by the West German Maschinenfabrik Esslingen, who also designed them, in 1961. This original batch were equipped with different types of boggies, from which the Minden-Deutz boggie was chosen for the eventual mass-produced series built in-house by the VR Pasila workshop starting from 1964 (Valmet also built a small number of carriages).

A combined 1st and 2nd class carriage as built, 1964. At this point they still had steel covering the underbody from the sides. These hems were later removed to better display the arousing technical bits. Olavi Karasjoki, Suomen rautatiemuseo.

The initial batch consisted of ten 2. class carriages (littera Eit), four combined 1. and 2. class coaches (lit. CEit) and one 1. class coach (lit. Cit). As you can maybe figure out, the -t at the end stood for teräs, steel, to distinguish from the old wood-bodied coaches. In addition to the regular first- and second-class coaches, the blue carriages' base design was adopted for restaurant cars (litteras Rbkt, Rt, Rkt and Rk), combined condutor's and luggage cars (lits. Fot, Efit and Efiti), sleepers (CEmt), aggregate cars to use on non-electrified tracks (Eifet), carriages with children's playrooms (ELht), postal carriages (Pot), military transport (Ems), prisoner transport (Nom), special carriages for the president and cabinet (A), and even a one-off disco carriage. The latter in particular fucked severely. All those sweaty bodies having it on inside a train...

Some sources also list the Eil-class local traffic coaches as blue carriages, but since they had some structural differences and were originally painted red rather than blue, I'm going to cover them in a separate entry.

Over the quarter of a century the blue carriages were in production, numerous improvements were made to the original design; most notably, the original top service speed of 120 km/h was increased first to 140 km/h and then to 160 km/h in some units.

By the time the last blue carriages were delivered in 1986, their star was already waning. In 1988, the first new Intercity carriages (in a white and red IC delivery) were delivered, and Intercity trains replaced the blue-carriaged special express (erikoispikajuna) trains as the flagship product. With the arrival of the Intercity carriages, and the double-decker carriages from 1998 onwards, the blue carriages were phased out.

Blue carriages at the Turku depot, an Eifet aggregate car repainted in the Intercity livery in the 1990s and CEmt sleepers (both carriages visible behind the Eifet; the sleepers have asymmetric window arrangements). My photo

Today, the only blue carriages still in use in the iconic original livery as sleepers in night trains to Lapland, and prison transport carriages. Some restaurant cars, aggregate cars and conductor's carriages still exist, but they have been repainted in the newer liveries. Several blue carriages have also been preserved by different instances and they're relatively commonly seen in heritage/museum trains these days.

Starlight Express Appreciation Month

Day 7: Buffy

I missed yesterday but here’s my gal Buffy. come get some cake and coffee y’all ;)

Favorite Actor: Nancy Wood, her voice makes me chuckle

Favorite Song/Scene: A Lotta Locomotion

Favorite Costume: I don’t really have one but I like the stripey arms on the Bochum version. Her costume in general is actually one of my favorites out of every one from the show.

Favorite Ship: Buffy and Ashley, of course

Headcanon: Besides Belle the Sleeper, she’s the oldest of the coaches and was built in the late 20s. But she’s just as playful and fun as when she first hit the rails.

Unpopular Opinion: Do people have unpopular opinions about Buffy?

Gotta say, absolutely love the fact there's so much public transport and that cities are structured to be so much more walkable in the part of France where I'm staying. Currently at a place with #brain weirdness such that I know I do not have the attention span necessary to be a good driver, so it's nice to not have to be like, "fuck, I gotta recruit one of my friends who can drive to take me to the pharmacy since it's more than 2 miles away" lol

#My dad who has only recently come to terms with having adhd is always like 'uhhhh why should that matter I drive and I can't pay attention #to the road lol' as if I don't have to act like the passenger in a horse-drawn carriage who is seated next to the driver ready to dispatch #ne'er do wells (read: tell him when he needs to get his eyes back on the road because he is constantly looking at his phone and getting dis #distracted lol) #Definitely will have to work on the whole Being Present and not fading in and out of the moment when I graduate but for now I am a passange #passenger prince :-)

Starlight Express Appreciation Month

Day 12: Belle the Sleeping Car

Hey sexy mama

Favorite Actor: PP Arnold, that voice oh my god

Favorite Song/Scene: Her duet with Poppa in Starlight Express :,)

Favorite Costume: Broadway, but that London costume is something else

Favorite Ship: Belle x Poppa/Momma, what else

Headcanon: She’s a first class carriage def, like she smells like expensive perfume and fine wooden cabinetry

Unpopular Opinion: I love her as much as the next person and wish she would return to the show, but oh my god is she pointless in the Broadway version. Homegirl wakes up, sings a song, and then goes right back to sleep. Like couldn’t they have had her race with Poppa instead of Dustin? It would have been so easy, why didn’t they do that?
