08 October 2010

Another day on the photogenic Hof - Reichenbach line. Variety was the theme of the day with four freights hauled by a 232, a 241, a 233 and a 223, the last banked by a pair of 202s.

218.468 worked the Leipzig - Hof diagram again. The only other interest on the passenger front was a special worked by a pair of 798s belonging to Passauer Eisenbahnfreunde.

Once again the weather failed to live up to the forecast with thin cloud taking the edge off the light for most of the day.
