Another dull day. Instead of heading straight to the Liberec - Zawidow line in the Czech Republic, I decided to make more productive use of the day in Germany by having a look at the Hoyerswerda - Horka line, a good move as it turned out. I’d ridden the line in July and noted a number of potential photo positions that needed checking out from the lineside.

There wasn’t much freight traffic and the passenger trains were worked by the expected ODEG class 650 railcars but a few reasonable positions were found.

On arrival at Raspenava I discovered that the Liberec - Zawidow line was closed between 08:00 and 17:00 every day this week for engineering work. I’d hoped to spend the rest of the week here but now needed to rethink my plans.
