Notes
For the full background story read the commentary to the previous picture.
The Siemens Testcenter Wildenberg-Wegrath has not only a rather long name, it also has a main loop track of 6.5 kilometres (4 miles) which allows top speeds of up to 160 kph. What this means for a rail fan like me is that there’s a good chance the same train will appear again and again every five minutes or so, and one can try to get different angles. Here, we see the same G 1000 BB as before with the same train on the same track and in pretty much the same spot, except this time, it’s seen from the side!
