That's interesting, I mean from your notes, Alan. I always read the makers names when travelling by metro or mainline in Spain ... and Siemens, Alstrom, Bombadier, CAP feature a lot but I have never heard of Vossloh. Who are they?
Fine shot by the way!

Hi Andy Vossloh AG is a rail technology company based in Werdohl in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The SDAX-listed group has achieved sales of around €930 million in 2016 with more than 4,000 employees (as of 2017).

Vossloh is a global market leader both for rail fasteners and switch systems. In North America Vossloh is the leading manufacturer of concrete railway ties. And concerning track maintenance, they offer a globally unique grinding technology, so-called high speed grinding.

Customers are generally public and private railway companies, network operators as well as regional and municipal transport companies.

Since the restructuring, Vossloh has been focusing on target markets China, the USA, Russia and Western Europe. Important European production sites of Vosslohs are located in Germany, France, Luxembourg, Poland and Scandinavia. In addition, the group has subsidiaries in Asia, North and South America, Australia and Russia. Best Wishes Alan.

So one of the giants of the industry completely passed me by!!
Oh well!
Thank you for your detailed notes, Alan. I certainly know who they are now!!
Best wishes,
Andy
