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

New trains on old crossings

On Sunday, right before starting the long way home, I spent some time in Güterglück. I was hoping that the name of the town suggested something about the train traffic. I also wanted to make a photo of the old railway crossing. No freight train, but a modern Talent train fit well. Continue reading New trains on old crossings

Overtaken in style

On my way back to the west, I was overtaken near Kurort Rathen by a Metrans train in the direction of Dresden. Continue reading Overtaken in style

Turning around at the waterfront

The location at Usti nad Labem Strekov also looks good in the other direction, albeit not as spectacular Continue reading Turning around at the waterfront

Every beginning has an end

Saturday September 24th, last day of my Czech and Slovak adventure. I went back to the place where the adventure in Czech republic began a couple of days ago. High on the wishlist was this location in Usti nad Labem, featuring Strekov castle and the Elbe river. Traffic was rather dense, a selection below. Continue reading Every beginning has an end

And to end the day

Would the last hour of a very relaxing and well-filled day be as good as the rest of the day? Judge for yourself, I quite like this photo of a RegioJet towards Kosice. Continue reading And to end the day

Closer, but still scenic

The festivities weren’t over yet. A short walk led a bit closer to the tracks, with still another view on the magnificent background. Can’t get enough of it. Continue reading Closer, but still scenic

Showing in full glory

This is what I had been hoping for. One magnificent view followed by another, and so on, and so on. I was having a good time at Strba. Waiting for a couple of trains and then moving on to the next stunning view, this being one of the best of the vacation. Continue reading Showing in full glory

Hiding behind the clouds

The High Tatra mountains are hiding behind… equally High clouds. Tough luck, but train traffic was overcompensating. Below a selection of what I saw. Regiojet was expected, PKP Cargo wasn’t. This line was definitely rocking it, making the far trip here all the more worthwhile. Continue reading Hiding behind the clouds
