RSS Fetcher Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Well, this morning saw us grab our suitcases and head off for our end of year vacation to Leipzig . We had a good dinner already, and now I am well and thoroughly tired. There's hardly any snow left in Leipzig - though where there are some patches left on the cobblestone streets it can be dicey to be walking on it! And it is quite windy tonight. Immediately after arriving at Leipzig Central Station with ICE 1597 I proceeded to snap one of the 182-hauled RE services which operate between Leipzig and Cottbus at this time: http://www.abload.de/img/dsc024869rxc.jpg And as luck would have it, 182 004 with the Porsche livery was out that day B) . It is seen here arriving with RE 28178 which consists o three Bimz type coaches and two "y" type ones, including a Wittenberge type driving trailer. However, I was now told the 182s are merely filling a gap until a new batch of EMUs (class 442, I think it was) will be certified. Later then I rode out on tram line 16 again, travelling out to the Trade Fair Centre in the north of the city, where I then snapped NGT12 car 1215 "Addis Abeba" working the 1641 service, or "Kurs", as it is usually called in German: http://www.abload.de/img/dsc02504jdl0.jpg I shall add any new photos of interest on here as they are created - so to speak .
