Off to Koblenz for a few days photography, mainly in the Mosel Valley, a line with heavy freight traffic, loco hauled local passengers and rare class 181s on InterCity services, all in excellent scenery.
After an early morning drive to Gatwick, easyJet flew me to Köln/Bonn, arriving a couple of minutes after the booked 09:25. Everything went smoothly and I had collected my bag and found my way to the station by 09:45, in good time to buy a ticket and catch the 09:51 RE to Koblenz. However, I hadn’t reckoned with the ticket machine from hell, the dreaded Adamatic 9000. It didn’t just want to know where I was going, it wanted to know absolutely everything before condescending to issue a ticket. I almost got one question about the treaty of Brest-Litovsk wrong and who knows what would have happened then. In the event, I caught the train but only just.
Koblenz was reached just over an hour later and, after dropping my bag at the Hotel Hohenstaufen near the station and buying a 7-day ticket for the VRM area (€57.40), it was off up the Mosel in search of some trains. A trip to Bullay to check out some photspots was followed by a brief photosession at Hatzenport before spending the rest of the afternoon around Winningen.
There was some sun around during the afternoon but, despite the line being busy, only a couple of trains were well lit. In the early evening the cloud melted away and the day ended with a number of shots in glorious sunshine.
The line was busy with a good variety of classes seen on 18 different freights. On my previous visit, in October 2010, most of the RE trains and a few of the RB trains were worked by class 143 electrics. This time it was even better with 6 out of 7 REs and 9 out of 15 RBs worked by 143s. One set had a loco at each end, both working. All the IC trains were hauled by 181s as expected and Orientrot 181.213 put in an appearance.

Another day in the Mosel Valley, starting in good light on the section between Neef and Bullay. The middle of the day was spent on the east-west section through Pommern but the sky rapidly clouded up and I headed north in search of the sun. Winningen looked promising but by the time I’d walked out to the spot west of the station any hope of getting the sun had gone. After a couple of hours I gave up and returned to Koblenz.
Another busy day with 21 different freights seen. All the ICs were hauled by 181s again and 9 out of 10 REs and 12 out of 19 RBs were worked by 143s. This time there were two different sets out with a 143 at each end. In both cases both locos were working.

The morning was spent north of Bullay, trying a shot I hadn’t got the previous day. There wasn’t much light around but a couple of trains were photographed in half sun. By late morning the sky was completely overcast so I headed back to Koblenz and took a train down to Oberwesel, on the left bank of the Rhein, to check out the shot off the old town wall. Back in Koblenz, the light was improving so it was back up the Mosel to Kattenes to try a couple of shots, unsuccessfully, before returning to Winningen for another excellent evening.
No less than 24 freights today including the very welcome appearance of a class 139 and a class 140. The proportion of RE trains worked by 143s reduced to 7 out of 12 but 18 out of 23 RBs were 143. The number of sets with locos at each end increased to 3. All ICs were 181 again.

Back to Bullay for the morning yet again. This time the cloud broke from time to time and a handful of shots were taken in good light. The afternoon was spent at Oberwesel where there also a few sunny breaks.
Despite it being a Saturday 13 freights were seen in 6 hours on the Mosel line, including a pair of 140s on a coal train. Loco haulage of local services increased even further with all 7 REs and 11 out of 13 RBs worked by 143s. All the ICs were 181 worked except for Saturdays only IC2427 from Trier, which had a 101.
On the Koblenz - Mainz line all local services were worked by MittelRheinBahn class 460 “Desiro” EMUs with 101s on most IC trains. I was pleasantly surprised to find most IC trains were hauled with only 1 out of 12 trains being propelled. In addition to the 101s, a couple of trains were worked by 120s and there was one with a Dispo class 182.5 (booked). No freights were seen on the left bank, possibly due to a signalling problem north of St Goar that was causing delays to passenger services. On the right bank there were plenty of freights, hauled by a wide variety of locos.

The last day of the trip started with a trip to Ediger-Eller to try some shots on the bridge there from various positions. At midday I moved on to Bullay with the intention of catching a bus to Pünderich where there are some nice shots across the river. Unfortunately there were long gaps in the Sunday bus service so I tried the bridge at Bullay instead. It didn’t make a lot of difference anyway as the light went before I could get any shots. Then it was just a case of heading back to Koblenz, collecting my luggage, having another argument with a ticket machine and catching a train back to Köln/Bonn Flughafen for the flight home.
Even on a Sunday freight traffic was buoyant with 15 freights seen in less than 11 hours including 3 trains worked by 140s. There was a big change on the local passenger front with 9 out of 12 REs but only 6 out of 17 RBs being loco worked. All the ICs were hauled by 181s.
