September 4, 2015—Freight in the Mosel Valley

Nine years ago, my Irish friends and I were exploring railway operations in Germany’s scenic Mosel Valley.

I made this view from the wall in a vineyard of a DB freight heading northward (eastward) toward Koblenz.

While not as busy as the Rhein Valley, there are endless perspectives on the railway in the Mosel Valley and we were certainly entertained by a continuous parade of freight and passenger trains.
