Germany

Mainly steam but also some diesel and electric locos in both West & East Germany, mostly taken in the early to mid 1970's. Pictures are in chronological order, oldest first. More will be added as time permits!

The main line south from Horb along the Neckar valley was originally double track, but much of it was singled during a wartime scrap drive, so trains generally pass at stations or loops, as here. A northbound local passenger train is waiting in the loop with a Class 211 diesel at its head as 050 560-2 heads south non-stop through the loop. I'm not sure of the exact location... Monday 4th May 1970. Slide No. 4839.
