Pairs of red electrics leading more or less uniform consists of coal cars make for great subjects as they wind their way along the supremely scenic Rhein Valley.<\/p>\n

Most locomotive-hauled trains traversing Germany\u2019s Rhein Valley work with just a single locomotive, and an ever-greater number of passenger trains use electric multiple units.<\/p>\n

By comparison to continual parade of these more common trains, dual-red electrics on coal trains\/and empties are relatively rare, and only make an appearance every few hours (often just after you move to change locations).<\/p>\n

Here I display two empty trains train, both exposed on 10 September 2015. The first is a morning view on the Left Bank with a pair of DB class 185 electrics, the second is in the evening on the Right Bank across from Oberwesel.<\/p>\n

Both feature scenery and sunlight.<\/p>\n

\"Glorious<\/a>
Glorious clear morning sun makes for a post card view of DB 185s passing Boppard-Hertenach on the Left Bank. Exposed with a FujiFilm X-T1.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Late<\/a>
Late in the day, a pair of elderly class 151 Co-Co electrics lead empties exiting a tunnel opposite Oberwesel. Within half an hour the sun had dropped below the ridge line, leaving this scene in shadow. Exposed with a FujiFilm X-T1 digital camera.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
