Day 2 of 2025 saw sun and clouds. When this train to Gent passed me, I saw mostly clouds. It wasn’t as bad as a few hundred meters more towards Lokeren. There, sun and rain added some spectacle to the photo.
Timing is everything, as a few minutes earlier the foreground scene was also lit by the sun. And a few minutes after this shot, I had to run and seek shelter for the rain.

This train runs daily between Antwerpen-Noord and Gent-Zeehaven. I’ve often seen it with a Traxx locomotive, so I was happy to see it with two series 13 locomotives.
