CAUGHT RED HANDED
Tracking Down the Meridian Vice Gang
Germany - 1 to 8 April 2014 - Report by Duncan Cotterill
Introduction
A week long photographic trip to the Rosenheim area of south-eastern Bayern, primarily to try to record the last few workings still entrusted to class 111 electrics. Although not part of the original plan, my visit just happened to coincide with a closure of the line through Passau and the diversion of numerous freights via Rosenheim instead.
Travel Arrangements
Flights from London Gatwick to München were with easyJet. Local transport was by hire car although the trains were used for a day. Accomodation was at the Hotel Goldener Hirsch, in the centre of Rosenheim and within easy walking distance of the station.
Passenger Trains
ÖBB RailJet push-pull sets
- Work international services from Budapest or Wien to München or Zürich.
- Also work some internal Austrian services from Wien to Innsbruck or Bregenz, including IC862.
- The class 1116 loco was always at the west end of the set although sometimes the loco was the wrong way round with the grey end leading.
- One train RJ67 on 01/04/14 was worked by 1116.157, a standard red loco, on a RailJet set.
ÖBB Class 1016 or 1116 on conventional ÖBB stock
- Work internal Austrian IC trains from Wien to Innsbruck or Bregenz (those that aren't RailJets).
- Work around half EC services from Graz, Klagenfurt etc to München, Frankfurt etc.
- Work all EC services from München to northern Italy as far as Brenner/Brennero where a 1216 takes over.
DB Class 101 on DB IC Push-Pull sets
- Work around half EC services from Graz, Klagenfurt etc to Frankfurt, Dortmund, Saarbrücken etc.
- The loco was always at the east end of the set.
ÖBB Class 1016 on DB IC stock
- Work IC2082 and IC2083 Berchtesgaden to Hamburg and back.
- DB 120.135 was used on IC2083 on 01/04/14 and IC2082 on 02/04/14.
Meridian Class 430 EMUs
- Work all regional services between München, Kufstein and Salzburg (except where noted below)
DB Class 111 on DB Regio stock
- Temporary substitutions for late deliveries of Meridian class 430 EMUs
- 3 weekday diagrams covering 9 return trips from München to Salzburg and back.
- 1 weekend diagram covering 4 return trips from München and Salzburg and back.
- Locos worked top'n'tail with 111.019+111.051, 111.025+111.043 and 111.046+111.049 on the 3 sets
- Finished on 5 April with 111.046+111.049 working the final Saturday diagram.
MRCE Class 182 on Metronom stock
- Temporary substitutions for late deliveries of Meridian class 430 EMUs
- 1 weekday diagrams covering 3 return trips from München to Kufstein and back, 4 return trips on Fridays.
- Finished sometime before Friday 4 April.
Freight Trains
- Very heavy freight traffic on the Salzburg route until Saturday 5 April due to diversions from Wels - Passau - Regensburg. It wasn't abnormal to see 6 freights in an hour east of Rosenheim.
- Freight traffic between Rosenheim and Kufstein was lighter than expected on Monday 7 and Tuesday 8 April, less than one train each way an hour.
- Intermodal traffic predominated, mainly in block trains. Containers, swap bodies and complete lorry trailers were all seen.
- Block trains of car carriers, coal hoppers, grain hoppers, oil tanks, cement tanks, chemical tanks and vans were all seen as well as mixed freights.
- DB Class 185 and ÖBB Class 1116 were the most common types seen.
- A handful of DB Class 151, 152, 189 and a single ÖBB Class 1144 were also seen.
- Other operators worked about a third of the traffic with locos of classes 182, 185, 186 and 189 belonging to Railpool or MRCE Dispolok predominating.
- Lokomotion was the most commonly seen operator, either using their own locos or those belonging to Railpool.
- Both SBB Cargo Class 485 and BLS Cargo Class 486 were regular performers on trains heading for the Brenner Pass.
- Other interesting types seen were a pair of TrenItalia Class E412s, a few Railpool or Dispolok Vectrons and an old DB Class 194.
Photography
- Rosenheim to Salzburg is very photogenic, particularly east of Traunstein and between Bernau and Prien.
- There are a number of good positions north of Rosenheim between Großkarolinenfeld and Ostermünchen but not much any further north.
- South of Rosenheim, the Kufstein line is difficult but there are some excellent positions north of Oberaudorf.
- Visibility was poor most of the time with Saharan dust in the atmosphere to blame.
- There were a couple of fairly clear sunny days but the weather was far cloudier than forecast most of the time.
- It was sometimes difficult to move on after getting a few shots at a good location in the knowledge that there was likely to be another train along in a few minutes - a problem I could live with!
- The best locations are a long way from the nearest station, often around an hour's brisk walk, so it would be a push to do justice to the line travelling by train and walking.
Friday Night is 103 Night
- The evening of Friday 4 April was spent photographing at München Hbf.
- As hoped, 103.245 worked in from München Ost with the stock for CNL1286 to Hamburg-Altona.
- Apart from the Salzburg trains, there were very few 111s around but lots of shiny new class 440 or 442 units.
- The lighting under the train shed was poorer than expected but still just about enough for successful photography.
- No problems with photography despite the very visible presence of police and railway security goons.
Berchtesgaden Branch
- Most services worked by class 427 Flirts.
- Four loco hauled trains a day - two ICs and two regional services to work the stock from/to Freilassing.
- Nice locations around Winkl between Bayerisch Gmain and Bischofswiesen.
Comments and Conclusions
- Less than 50% sunshine but there were so many trains that I still came away well satisfied with what I got.
- Even without the diverted freights, the Salzburg line would have been well worth a visit with excellent photo positions, lots of traffic and plenty of variety.
- It's sad to see the 111s finish on the München - Salzburg route as they've been a fixture since my first visit in the mid 1970s.
- Highly recommended to anyone aiming to photograph electric locos in good scenic locations but getting to the spots would be hard work unless you have a car.
- If anyone does plan visiting this area with a car, it's worth noting that fuel is almost 20 cents a litre cheaper just over the border in Austria.
Tuesday 1 April 2014
Left home at 02:50, drove to Gatwick, parked, bussed to the airport, checked in and straight through security, reaching the departure lounge at 04:25. Well worth the extra speedy boarding fee to miss the queues. EasyJet was into München slightly early then another quick trip through immigration, a short wait for bags and at the car hire desk but still on the road by around 10:00. Straight down the Autobahn to Burghartsöd, between Traunstein and Tiesendorf, for my first train at 11:40.
This was a location I'd visited before, and, as I was feeling tired, I stayed for four hours before moving on. The hoped for class 111s turned up on their expected trains, unfortunately with Meridian stickers over the DB logos, which didn't enhance the pics but did put them into historical context. No less than 23 freights were recorded over 4 hours at Burkhartsöd, plus 21 loco worked passengers (and I missed some). Busy or what? The light was bright but it was hazy and the mountains that should have been in the background for shots of westbounds were lost in the murk.
My second location was equally unadventurous and again somewhere I'd been before. However it might as well have been a new location as the high grass that ruined most of the potential positions last October had been cleared, opening up many more possibilities.
There was a slight change from the 111 plan as the third set worked a later peak hour train than expected, M79035, 17:29 München - Traunstein instead of M79031 at 16:35. This was repeated on the Wednesday but not the Friday. No less than 8 freights and 11 loco hauled passengers were noted in around 2 hours, again with several more that were missed.
Apart from the 111s, all the regional passengers were worked by new class 430 units, 6-car articulated sets built by Stadler and finished in a grey and blue livery. Some peak hour services were formed of two sets.
Long distance passengers came in three varieties. Around half were ÖBB RailJets, invariably with the loco at the west end and quite a few were double sets with a second loco in the middle. One set had a red livery loco, the rest were in RailJet colours but the loco was often the wrong way round with the grey end leading instead of the red end. The Railjets worked hourly services from Wien, generally to either to Zürich or München, and also some internal Austrian services.
Many of the remaining services were worked by ÖBB 1016s or 1116s on conventional stock, including some services to destinations in Germany as well as internal Austrian ICs. EC112 and 113 were top'n'tailed, presumably to simplify the reversals at München and Stuttgart. IC2083 from Hamburg to Berchtesgaden was worked by a 120 instead of the expected ÖBB class 1016.
Remaining long distance passengers were worked by DB 101s on push-pull sets with the loco always at the east end.
Freight power was also varied although 17 out of the 31 freights noted were powered by DB 185s. A 151 worked pick up freights in both directions. There were also 4 trains with ÖBB 1016 or 1116, one of which was piloted by a 1144. Two trains were worked by independent operators' 182s, six by 185s and one by a 193.

Wednesday 2 April 2014
A better day weather-wise with good or hazy sun most of the day. Visibility wasn't brilliant but was better than on the Tuesday.
Started photting where I'd left off the previous day, south of Prien. After a couple of hours I went to look for a spot between Bad Endorf and Rosenheim where the light would be right for the second 111 set returning to München and found an excellent position in the woods on the west shore of the Simssee near Inzenham. The next location tried was Mauerkirchen, E of Bad Endorf but it wasn't as good as anticipated so I only stayed for a couple of trains. Bernau am Chiemsee followed, again without too much success. By this time the light was further round and with the mountains a lot more visible, it seemed a good idea to go back to somewhere I knew would be good, Weisham, south of Prien. Unfortunately the incessant stream of freights dried up in mid-afternoon but things did pick up again later. All the above was intended to ensure I was in position for the 111 workings but wasn't entirely successful in that regard.
Quickly gave up on trying to record every train as there were so many, only noted those when I was in position. Everything that passed while I was on the move was ignored as it would have meant too many delays if I'd stopped to write them all down.
Similar patterns of freight and passenger to the previous day with similar classes. 111s worked exactly as the previous day including the 17:29 to Traunstein, not the 16:35.

Thursday 3 April 2014
A good start weather wise with some excellent light during the morning. The sky clouded up around midday although there was hazy sun at times for the next couple of hours before it became universally dull.
Went to look at some new spots between Großkarolinenfeld and Ostermünchen on the line to München in the morning, finding a couple of good locations and getting some good shots at Vogl, N of Großkarolinenfeld. Then off to the other side of Rosenheim and a nice location at Eizing, around 6km to the east on the line to Salzburg. It was turning out to be a glorious sunny morning. Next stop was Inzenham to try another location I'd seen the previous day. It turned out to be a cracker but the light suddenly died after what had been an exceptionally good morning. Time to move on.
Off to the east in a forlorn attempt to outrun the cloud. It was certainly brighter than in the west but not really sunny. The first destination was the big curve at Axdorf, just west of Traunstein, a superb location but it needed the sun. I continued east, stopping at a spot east of Traunstein that would have been good for the 111s on a brighter day. Finally went to find a location I'd seen pictures of on the web. The spot at Hörafing, east of Teisendorf turned out to be an excellent position but it needed the light and there wasn't a lot around. Gave up after an hour and returned to Rosenheim and the luxury of a relaxed evening meal and a few beers.

Friday 4 April 2014
A dull overcast start with no let up in the weather forecast. Most of the morning was spent looking at positions south of Ostermünchen before returning to Rosenheim. My plan to leave the car at the hotel and take to the rails was thrown into disarray because there were no parking spaces left. The car was eventually abandoned in a nearby housing estate to be recovered later.
Travelled on a Meridian unit to Kiefersfelden, last stop before Kufstein, to avoid a 1 minute leap onto the next unit back or a 1 hour fester if I missed it. Back to Rosenheim and onto the next Salzburg train, worked by a pair of 111s. Off at Freilassing and up to Berchtesgaden and back on a Flirt before returning to Rosenheim on a unit. The third 111 set was seen to be back on the 16:35 from München, albeit running 20 minutes late.
After retrieving the car and parking it at the hotel, it was off to München Hbf for a night photo session before returning to Rosenheim on the last 111 worked train of the day. Of note was that the trains expected to be worked by 182s on Metronom dostos were all units and a rake of Metronom dostos was parked up at München Ost without locos attached. The obvious conclusion is that the 182s had finished some time earlier.
Plenty of spots were found during the day with Rosenheim - Freilassing the best section by far, particularly east of Bergen. From not far west of Bergen to Bernau looked fairly useless and from Bernau to Rosenheim, all the potentially good locations were already known.
On the Kufstein line there were a few reasonably open locations north of Flintsbach but none of them looked particularly special. Fischbach, S of Flintsbach to Niederaudorf, N of Oberaudorf looked much better than the rest with shots on both sides of the line for trains in both directions.
The Berchtesgaden line looked difficult for most of its length but there were open spots with mountain backgrounds on both sides of the line near the summit between Hallthurm crossing loop and Bischofswiesen.
On the Rosenheim - München line the only spots noted were in the Großkarolinenfeld - Ostermünchen area, as already found.
Night photography at München Hbf was more difficult than expected with the main train shed much gloomier than anticipated. The D700 struggled with the low lighting but the D600 coped much better and just about managed shots of moving trains at 1/125 sec on ISO2500.

Saturday 5 April 2014
Quite a busy day with a lot of driving to get to reasonable spots for the final day of the 111s. 111.049+111.046 were caught at Vachendorf, near Traunstein, Baierbach, near Rosenheim, Weisham, near Prien, and Hörafing, near Teisendorf before bad light stopped play around 15:30.
The other working of note was the ECS of the other two 111 worked sets returning from Freilassing to München with three 111s at the front and one at the back. Only the first two were powering though.
The rest of the afternoon was spent on an exploratory trip to the Berchtesgaden branch where the 1016 was photographed in poor light at the locations seen from the train the previous day. The shots would have been worth having if the sun had been out.

Sunday 6 April 2014
A day of rest and quiet contemplation. It rained during the morning so I sat in the car and watched the trains coming and going at a couple of spots east of Rosenheim. There was a surprising amount of freight in the morning but it soon dried up. No 111s alas, Saturday really had been the last day.
During the afternoon the light improved and I went to try a spot near Bad Endorf, getting one shot in hazy sun there before the light went. The rest of the afternoon was spent south of Prien where, despite looking promising at times, the sun remained stubbornly behind the clouds.

Monday 7 April 2014
A brilliantly clear sunny day at last. The morning was spent at Gutmart between Großkarolinenfeld and Ostermünchen where there was plenty of freight, particularly early on. This is a good morning position where you can walk round the curve as the sun goes round.
It was nice to get a wide variety of traction including a 151, SBBC, BLS and Trenitalia engines on southbound trains but frustrating to miss a real 194 in green going the other way on hoppers.
Moved on to Baierbach for the middle of the day, staying until the light moved round far enough to photograph the line to Kufstein. Unfortunately stayed too long, making the afternoon difficult. Tried several locations between Flintsbach and Oberaudorf, finding some super spots in places identified from the train. Getting the shots was difficult as there wasn't much freight about and the long gaps between hauled passengers meant that it was a losing battle with the shadows most of the time - must try again!

Tuesday 8 April 2014
Although the forecast was poor there was quite a lot of blue sky first thing. Went to a spot near Ostermünchen first and got three shots in sun, admittedly one was a unit and another an ICE. By 09:00 the sky had filled in.
It still looked fairly clear to the south so I went to Niederaudorf again, arriving just as the light died. A useful morning checking out shots on the east side of the line. There were some good ones but they need to be done early before the light gets too far round.
Similarly the afternoon was spent sussing out spots on the west side of the line. There aren't many good spots for SB trains as it's difficult to get the mountains in. Northbound locations are much better but, hauled trains were thin on the ground at the right time of day. There were plenty of units and RailJets being shoved but not much else.
Left for the airport about 17:30, much earlier than necessary, but there was no chance of the light improving and the sun would have been behind the mountains at the best spots even if there hadn't been clouds in the way.
