    Are you on the Rheine, Germany?

    Alan, you're probably correct...that looks like a DB Juice Jack on the east bank of a river that appears to have a 5-7 Knot current. My experience on the Rhine is limited to one boat cruise, and even less anywhere in Germany proper, but I would guess that this was taken somewhere within 20 Km upstream of the Lorelie(sp?).

    (What else would you expect from a Foamer, who has also been a fresh water sailor most of his life....?)

    St. Goar is the location along the Rhine River.

    There is a constant parade of trains along both sides of the river, so you can do your railfanning whilst enjoying a river cruise [​IMG]

    The red passenger cars appear to be double-decked, is this a common configuration on DB, in Europe? Are they used for commuter service or normal inter-city coach traffic? The close-up of the last car appears to show cab windows, is this a push-pull configuration?

    I have uploaded a MPEG file (3.19MB / 10 Seconds) that shows the entire clip these last three came from.
