Again our walk was - at some part - along the tracks. :angel: I didn't stop the time, but I guess every 10 to 15 min there was a train. First train - a work train.
Every 200 meters there's this "milepost". In earlier times those stone posts were every 100 meters. Even numbers in "timetable direction", odd numbers at the other side. In the distance a signal repeater. It tells the next signal shows "stop". A rural crossing, only for the farmer.
Speed sign, it says: 110 km per hour (about 70 miles per hour) One of the old odd "mile"stones. Signal for the next station, aspect stop. A crossing in a small village.
Why would they place these so frequently? Was it an aid to engineers for timing their speeds? Boxcab E50
Always nice to see some lineside details as well as trains. When I built my gauge 1 German exhibition layout I found learning about the german signalling system quite fascinating.
Are there only multiple unit trains on this line? I read recently that the number of locomotive hauled trains has greatly decreased in Germany.
Wolfgang, you have good access to the trackside, here most lines have masses of trees and bushes obscuring any view. Wonderful pictures! :thumbs_up:
There're a lot of bushes and trees. But like you see they have worked a little bit. The rr has to have a free view and so from time to time they cut the trees and bushes. And it's only this part of the line where the cycle path goes along. :angel: Wolfgang
