Mon 16 Sep 2013

My final day on the Gäubahn and the sun actually came out for a couple of pictures in the morning, a 101 and a 185 of course, not the 115 I really wanted. The blue patch turned out to be a freak event and the rest of the day was completely overcast. After the 115 had passed in full gloom it was time to move on to the Oberpfalz, north-east of Nürnberg. On the way I stopped near Etzelwang to see the afternoon freights from Amberg and Plzen making their way westwards in the drizzle.
