The first week of august was hot, incredibly hot, in the Alsace region. After a short night I decided that it was time to get up early and enjoy the cool morning temperatures along the tracks. Well, a little before 7am I was standing next to the tracks in only a t-shirt. At least temperature was still bearable.
Of course I got to see some trains: lots of vintage stuff like TGV Réseau and Sybic locomotives, but the banger came at the end: an empty car train from Busto Arsizio to Gent-Zeehaven. This would have been a good train to hitchhike back home.
