20 April 2010

A full day in Altmühltal. In addition to the heavy freight traffic, the local passenger service was also of interest, being operated by 111s on double-deck push-pull sets. Unusually for Germany, there was no consistency in which end the loco was coupled and any train could turn up facing any way. I had difficulty reading the small numbers on the 111s from a distance as they appear to have smaller digits than most of the freight locos and the running number gets lost in all the UIC guff.

The freights were the real stars, with no less than 38 seen over the course of the day. DBS 152s and 185s handled the majority of trains but there were several other classes as well and also a few locos belonging to other railways or independent operators.

I spent most of the day within a few km of Dollnstein with a couple of hours around midday closer to Solnhofen. Once again, the weather was co-operative most of the day and many megapixels were recorded.
