#FotoVorschlag: Eisige Zeiten // Icy times

Ich habe gestern für eine Weihnachtsfeier im Dezember ganz mutig einen Zug von München zurück nach Hause gebucht. Und das weckt Erinnerungen an Dezember 2023, als es in München einen so heftigen Wintereinbruch gab, dass der komplette #Zugverkehr ausgefallen ist. Eine Kollegin hat mich und meine Zugmitstreiterinnen mit dem Auto mit nach #Regensburg genommen, wo sich nach viel Hin und Her, Warten und Bangen abzeichnete, dass es endlich einen #Zug raus aus #Bayern schaffen würde. Der ganze #Bahnsteig hat gefeiert. 😂

Yesterday, I booked a #train back home from Munich, where I'll be travelling in December for a Christmas party. This reminds me of December 2023, when there was such a heavy #snowfall in Munich that all trains were cancelled. A colleague kindly drove me and my fellow travellers to Regensburg, where, after hours of waiting, uncertainty, and hoping, there was finally a train leaving #Bavaria. The entire #platform cheered! 😂

This image captures a winter scene at a train station. The platform is blanketed in a layer of fresh snow. A vintage steam locomotive, emitting a plume of steam, is positioned on the tracks, adding a nostalgic touch to the scene. The station itself features a covered waiting area, where a few people can be seen, likely waiting for their train. Overhead, electric wires crisscross above the tracks, and the surrounding buildings and trees are also dusted with snow. The sky is overcast, enhancing the wintry feel of the image.

#Belzig for #TrainTrackTuesday

This is where I found myself stranded on Saturday afternoon while trying to get to a family wedding. After travelling for 14 hours between continents with no issues, #DeutscheBahn struck again. The train was initially delayed by 35 mins and then stopped 40 mins short of my destination: Because it was running so late, they cancelled it to prevent further disruptions. 😑 The replacement connecting train was also cancelled (naturally), so I would have had to wait another 1.5 hours for the next one. By then, of course, the wedding would have been over.

So, my husband picked me up by car, and we raced to the wedding instead. In the end, I managed to hug the happy couple, pose for a quick family photo, and – three minutes later – we were on our way home, as everyone had already packed up and the venue was closing. 🥲 At least I got a slice of the wedding cake to take away. It was delicious!

On the bright side, the little café inside the #trainStation had a field day when dozens of people suddenly found themselves stranded in the soggy weather. 🤑

A view through a metal fence shows a train platform with a red Deutsche Bahn train stationed on the tracks. Passengers are waiting on the platform, some walking around. The platform is lined with overhead wires, signs, and a clock. In the background, there are buildings and trees under an overcast sky, giving the scene a slightly muted, autumnal atmosphere.

Inside the station, a busy waiting area filled with travellers. People are seated at tables, standing in queues, or walking around with luggage, including suitcases and backpacks. The room is brightly lit with modern lighting, and there is a large, artistic wall decoration of a castle or landmark. The atmosphere is lively, with a mix of individuals and groups.

For late #Mohntag (CET) and early #TrainTrackTuesday (PT), here's a #remembrancePoppy on a #DLR #train (#DocklandsLightRailway, a driverless metro in #London I used to ride every day, though I only got off at #TowerGateway station when Bank was closed for some reason, so actually quite rarly 🤔)

As it's #RememberanceDay in the Commonwealth states on November 11, I thought it fitting.

A red Docklands Light Railway (DLR) train, adorned with a remembrance poppy on the front, approaches Tower Gateway station on an elevated track. The train, marked with the number 58, is positioned on the right side of the image, moving towards the platform. The platform is sheltered, with a sign displaying ‘Tower Gateway.’ The urban background includes buildings and a cloudy sky, while the platform is equipped with safety railings and a tactile yellow line for passenger guidance.

Die Deutsche Bahn verbaut erstmals #Schienen aus klimafreundlich produziertem #Stahl.

In einem Pilotprojekt liefert #Saarstahl rund 1.000 Tonnen, hergestellt aus #Schrott im #Elektrolichtbogenofen. So entstehen bis zu 70 % weniger Emissionen. Die ersten 22 Kilometer werden in drei Bundesländern verlegt.

Trotz hoher Kosten ist der Einsatz ein Schritt hin zu nachhaltigeren #Lieferketten in der Bahnbranche.

Deutsche Bahn setzt erstmals Schienen aus "grünem" Stahl ein

Die Deutsche Bahn hat einen Vertrag mit dem saarländischen Hersteller Saarstahl für Schienen aus klimafreundlich produziertem Stahl abgeschlossen. Erstmal geht es allerdings nur um wenige Streckenkilometer.

A straight, single railway track stretches into the distance, flanked by gravel ballast and patches of green grass. The track leads to a quiet, rural train platform on the right, featuring a small shelter with a roof, seating, and a signboard. The platform is bordered by a metal railing. The scene is framed by trees and shrubs, with an overcast sky lending a calm, serene atmosphere to the setting.

A view from a bridge over rails. The rails provide lines leading towards the center of the frame, to another bridge. This bridge in the center is framed in either side by beautiful yellow autumn trees. Across this bridge drives a blue tramway. The shutter speed is so long, that the motion blurs the driving tramway.

#TrainTrackTuesday from the summit of #Snowdon (aka #YrWyddfa)! ⛰️

This is the #SnowdonMountainRailway (SMR), a narrow-gauge rack-and-pinion #mountain railway, that has been taking passengers from Llanberis to the summit since 1896 (!).

Here are some other facts you might enjoy:
- It's the only public rack-and-pinion #railway in the #UK.
- The average speed of the train is 5 mph (8 km/h).
- The total track length is 4.7 miles (7.5 km).
- It carries around 140,000 passengers each year.
- A round-trip to the summit takes approx. 2.5 hours, including a 30-minute stop at the summit visitor centre.
- From the #summit station, it's only 68 ft (21 m) to the summit cairn (though it's quite steep).
- Trains are scheduled at 30-minute intervals, subject to passenger demand.
- The SMR currently operates 3 coal-fired steam locomotives and 4 diesel locomotives. Last week, only diesel locomotives were in service, as the heritage steam locomotives typically run from June to September.
- On its official opening day in April 1896, one of the locomotives derailed and fell down the mountain, resulting in one fatality. Following this incident, the maximum allowed train weight was reduced, and a gripper system was installed on the rack railway. It's been full steam ahead ever since.

(Sorry for the rabbit hole. I'm not usually into trains, but even I found it quite interesting)
