Notes

A closer look at the VT 612 in Shades of Red, taken moments before as the train was heading into Goslar station. It just happened to drive along while we were taking pictures of the historic train. To get back on the “Shades of Red” topic, it actually has a different shade of red than in the other picture. The train consisted of two two-car DMUs (so four cars in total), with the front unit having received new paint recently, while the rear one was already quite faded.

I’d normally have cropped away some things, but I actually like the background that Goslar provides here. I’m not sure what I was standing on while taking this picture, though. Who needs a gravel platform that you aren’t even allowed to walk on completely? I don’t know, but that’s what we got in Goslar, as an extension of the otherwise perfectly normal platform. Trains never stop at this part, so it’s truly pointless.
