Sun 23 October 2011

The last day of the trip was spent on the electrified Ingolstadt - Treuchtlingen main line, which winds its way through some gorgeous scenery in Altmühltal. The weather started a bit misty but the day was generally sunny with only a few short lived clouds around mid-morning. As expected, the hourly Regio passenger services were worked by class 111s on double-deck push-pull sets. As on my previous visit to the line, the locos appeared to lead in either direction at random, with around 75% at the München end on this occasion.

There were five westbound freights during the seven hours I spent on the line, many fewer than would be seen on a typical weekday but not bad for a Sunday. Trains of car-carriers predominated but there was also a container train and a train of oil tanks. DB locos of classes 151, 152 and 155 were seen along with an HGK 185 and an RTC 186 double heading with a 183. The only eastbound working was a class 363 hauling a single inspection coach.
