Afternoon all!

As we're currently in Leipzig once again for a few days, I would like to regale the Continental railfans among you with a set of images I took today while I was at Thekla Station on the outskirts of Leipzig for a round of railfanning...

Numerous V 90 type shunters from what was Deutsche Bundesbahn territory originally have found a new home in the Eastern states by now - one of them being 294 663 at the head of the first working I snapped.

Funnily, the semi-fasts on the Leipzig-Hoyerswerda line call at Platform 1 in both directions, which means that services bound for Leipzig run on the left-hand track. Here, 143 093 is heading RE 26056, which had left Hoyerswerda at 9.32 am.

294 820 was repositioning itself, possibly after completing a trip working somewhere.

After that, it was 155 time, with this working headed by 155 191 being the first of four I captured today.

203 311, which is assigned to DB Netze, was transferring a tamper from somewhere to another place.

The next 155 I captured was 155 133, heading another mixed freight...

...followed by 155 075, coming in from the east.

Meanwhile, 145 031 was pulling a string of empty car carriers.

This is the same formation which had been working 26056 previously, and was now returning to Hoyerswerda on the RE 26057 service - with the driving trailer in the lead.

After all those electrics, HHPI's 29004 "Dave Meehan", also known as 266 027, was flying the flag for the fossil fuel department, working a string of coal hoppers.

145 027 almost snuck past on a light engine working...

...followed by 151 024.

185 163, which had a number of hoppers and wood carriers up back, has been refitted with Norrland type snow ploughs, which were not originally fitted to 1st generation TRAXX locos.

But the real lucky catch for the day was 261 012, a new Voith Gravita 10 BB type shunter coming in on a positioning move B) .

And after capturing RE 18458 from Cottbus, which was headed by 143 058, I decided to call it a day and headed back to the city for something to eat!

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed these images...
