Thu 02 May 2013

A better day overall with some hints of blue sky, as opposed to the white and grey skies of the previous few days. There was some good light at times but it did its best to avoid illuminating the 218s on push-pull sets that I wanted to photograph. Fortunately the two IC workings and a 294 hauled pick-up goods did rather better and most of the class 611 DMUs passed in sun.

Everything continued as expected on the passenger front but there was more freight activity than I expected. The Roßberg - Friedrichshafen stone ran at almost exactly the same time as on Monday, so it appears to have a regular slot, passing Ravensburg around 11:00. An HGK class 66 went north on a train of oil tanks at lunchtime and a 294 worked a pick-up goods south around the same time, returning north in the late afternoon.
