Cars, Cars, Cars

Dispolok 182.527 wheeled another train of covered car carriers through the station on Friday 24 February, passing a DB Regio double-deck push-pull set on a Hannover - Norddeich Mole Regio-Express working. The loco is thought to have been hired to TXL at the time.

There were more trains of car carriers than any other form of freight traffic during my visit to Bremen Hbf. It was just the same the previous day around Emden and the previous week at Dedensen-Gümmer. Carrying cars appears to be big business for freight operators in northern Germany and they all seem to have a share of the action, including DB Cargo.
