My second day on the Mittenwaldbahn got off to a very slow start. Every potential spot I visited had something seriously wrong with it, often just that the sun wasn’t high enough to get over the mountains at this time of year, not that there was a lot of sun to start with. I also got out of sync with the trains, hence the lack of sightings before midday. By late morning the sky was clearing nicely and the afternoon was practically cloud free.

I spent the middle part of the day around Klais before heading north to a spot between Eschenlohe and Ohlstadt when the sun dropped behind the mountains at Klais. Despite taking a number of shots with roads in the foreground or background, none of the pictures were ruined by vehicles getting in the way, a very rare occurance indeed. Not a bad day overall.

All the passenger trains seen were worked by 111s at the south end of push-pull sets, including the additional München to Garmisch working seen late on. The Bahnland Bayern blue liveried loco, 111.017, made two trips over the line but I managed to miss it both times. all the other 111s were in the standard red and mostly very smart.

A southbound freight hauled by an ÖBB 1016 and a 2016 took me by surprise as I left the spot north of Klais. It stopped just beyond the station for some reason, allowing me to get ahead of it but coming before I could climb up to a good position.
