Sat 10 Sep 2011

The good weather continued through the day with wall to wall sunshine right up to just before sunset when a cloud took out my last shot of the day.

Although the ECs reverted to their normal route from today, there were still the ALEX services to photograph. As it was a Saturday there was also a 218 on the München - Lindau bike train RE57468, returning as RE57469 and another on the afternoon ECS from Kempten to Lindau. There were also a couple of specials, from Mühldorf to Lindau and back behind a 218 and from Nürnberg to Lindau and back with Bavarian S3/6 Pacific 18.478 and banker V100.1365 (211.365) in charge from and to Augsburg.

For most of the day my luck held and I managed to stumble upon the two specials and the ECS more by luck than judgement. In the late afternoon I moved from familiar territory east of Hergatz to try a couple of new positions between Hergatz and Lindau and managed to miss both return specials and two 218 worked push-pulls in quick succession.
