Railfanning in the rain
Hi again ...
Well, the title says just about all: My photo session today took place mostly in the rain - however, as it was fairly warm it was not actually unpleasant. Today I decided to head over to Engelsdorf - this station being located close to the marshalling yard of the same name. So, here's what I got...
This here was VT 020 or 650 552, another "RegioShuttle" DMU owned by Mitteldeutsche Regiobahn, seen here working the MRB88293 service to Eilenburg Ost...
...followed by a class 643 "Talent" DMU from the same operator on the MRB88065 service to Wurzen.
The tracks belonging to the marshalling yard are located south of the station. Here, diesel shunter 290 525 is moving around on shunting duty.
The next passenger service to come along was RB26577 from Meißen to Leipzig Central, worked by 642 045, a Siemens Desiro Classic type DMU.
The rain had begun to fall in the meantime, and then ITL engine 185-CL 002 - still wearing the old Connex base colours - came along with a very short container service.
After that, another MRB class 643 "Talent" DMU came along, this time working the MRB88064 service from Wurzen to Leipzig Central.
And after all those units, another "proper" train came along ...this one being RE 17461 to Dresden Central Station, headed by engine 143 205.
I then felt the need for a cup of coffee and walked back to the tram terminus at Sommerfeld, catching a line 13 service to Central Station and then walking up to Augustusplatz...
...finally snapping NGT8 car 1133 "Christian Thomasius" with full body advertisement for the "Deutsche BKK" health insurance on Goethestraße, working the 4E line to Riebeckstraße/Stötteritzer Straße. The Leipzig Opera is only a few metres to the right.
Hope you enjoyed this little set of images!
