Paint It Yellow
If I’ve got to photograph multiple units then I’d prefer them to be painted in nice colours. The Oberpfalzbahn’s new class 648 units in yellow and blue make a pleasant shot if you can find a location where a short DMU doesn’t look lost in the landscape.1648.202 passed Escheldorf, north of Reuth (bei Erbendorf) while working OPB 79714, the 07:57 Regensburg - Marktredwitz stopping service on 7 May 2016.
On previous visits local services on the line had been operated by the Vogtlandbahn with Class 642s but the transfer to the Oberpfalzbahn wasn't much of a change as both companies are part of the Länderbahn group, owned by Netinera, itself owned by Italian State Railways.
