Well, today we were having beautiful weather again, and I made good use of it . So, without much preamble - here's what I got:

While stopping by at Central Station I first captured 101 058 while she was shunting in to collect her InterCity.

I then rode out to Miltitz at the western end of tram lines 8 and 15. While there, I snapped NGT12 car 1214 "Lyon" taking a break on the outer track of the reversing loop before heading back to Meusdorf on line 15.

On my way back into the city centre I stopped by at Parkallee where Leoliner car 1312 "Großzschocher" came along on line 8.

I took another break at Lindenauer Markt where I first captured NGT12 car 1217 "Travnik" on line 15...

...and this Leoliner double unit working the 7 line to Sommerfeld with car 1309 "Böhlitz-Ehrenberg" at the head.

On my way to Miltitz I had the impression of the Sportforum stop offering a good photo spot, and so I disembarked here again and snapped NGT12 car 1209 "Hamburg" while it was emerging from the underpass.

Just a small impression of traditional architecture and modern transport .

Tram line 14 is still working only the route from Central Station West Side to the Angerbrücke tram depot and normally operated with single Tatra T4D-M motor cars. Here, car 2114 is pausing before reversing through the loop to the left of where I was standing.

Then I rode out to Plagwitz Station on the S1 S-Bahn line. The station is just as decrepit as Leutzsch, but reeking of atmosphere for some reason. You can almost imagine hearing conversations from times long past... Seen here is engine 143 879, working the S 9546 service to Miltitzer Allee.

I narrowly missed the bus I was planning to catch in order to return to the nearest tram line and had to wait another fifteen minutes. However, I then heard a heavy diesel motor rumbling in the station, which caught my attention and made me head back. And lo and behold - there was 29005, a Class 66 engine owned by rolling stock leasing company Beacon Rail and hired to freight operator HHPI. The engine has been given the name of "Ted Gaffney" and carries the NVR number 92 80 1 266 029-8 D-BRLL. Needless to say, this encounter rounded off the day for me, as I had never managed to snap a Shed before! B)
