24 July 2010

Another dismal day. I travelled from Dresden to Riesa on the Leipzig line then south to Stauchitz on the Chemnitz line, the limit of VVO ticket validity, then north again through Riesa to Elsterwerda, on the Berlin - Dresden main line, and finally to Elsterwerda Biehla, a few km to the north but on the east-west Falkenberg - Hoyerswerda main line.

I didn’t expect to see much at Elsterwerda-Biehla while waiting for my train back to Dresden but four freights passed in eighty minutes, all heading east and none hauled by DB locos. I couldn’t help wondering whether they were heading for the Hoyerswerda - Horka line and what would haul them there.

The return trip to Dresden was broken at Coswig for a short detour to Meißen-Triebischtal, the end of S-Bahn line 1, and back.
