Life is good
We ended the day along the water in Visé. First a couple of trains, then a beer on the waterfront with friends. Continue reading Life is good

The start of a busy week
After the short visit to the Liège – Luxemburg line, we headed towards line 24 for some freight trains from Germany. On Sundays, after 3pm, a whole bunch of trains that had been waiting in Germany head into Belgium. Continue reading The start of a busy week
Grass is green, trees are orange
On a beautiful sunny Sunday a passenger train heads south, linking Liège to Luxembourg via the magnificent valley of the Amblève river. The cows remain highly uninterested, the green grass must be way too good – and the last they will get for a couple of months. Continue reading Grass is green, trees are orange
A busy Sunday
And yes, I was lucky in Güterglück. Of the multiple freight trains that I saw, I’ll show 2. Very surprising to me to see so many freight trains on a Sunday. I wonder if this is normal in the east of Germany. Continue reading A busy Sunday
And to end the day

This line was definitely rocking it, making the far trip here all the more worthwhile. Continue reading Hiding behind the clouds
Sticking my head through the fog
A chilly autumn morning, one of the first ones of 2016. Through the fog I reached this spot, only guessing it’s the spot I had in mind. One opening at the right time was sufficient to reveal a splendid view on the High Tatra mountain chain. Traffic seemed to be rather dense, and interesting: a passenger pulled train each way per hour, followed by one … Continue reading Sticking my head through the fog
Dog watching
A dog is watching curiously at 3 men holding cameras, not knowing they are actually pointing at the train instead of his furry highness. Continue reading Dog watching
