I’m getting fed up with the weather over here. For the third day since I left home the forecast has been for mainly sunny weather but the reality has been almost unbroken cloud for most of the day. At least today I got a handful of shots during a few short sunny breaks in the morning.

I spent the morning in the Elbe Valley around Königstein but gave up in the early afternoon as the last chances of any sun faded. The afternoon was spent buying maps in Dresden and taking a trip out to Tharandt and back, just for the hell of it.

If anything, the Elbe Valley was a bit quieter than on Sunday but there was still a healthy level of freight traffic worked by a variety of classes. The highlight was a blue Pressnitztalbahn 145 carrying the number 145.023 on the front. I thought it was unlikely that DB would have sold one of its 145s to a competitor and had a closer look when it came back. The UIC number was 145.083!

Passenger trains were as expected with an ÖBB 1216 on EN459 and CD 371s on all the EC trains. The S-bahn services were solid 143 but I did see a 145 on a dosto push-pull set stabled outside Dresden Hbf in the afternoon, presumably the loco that works a few Freiberg services for crew training in preparation for the class taking over S-Bahn line 1.
