Classic Chrome: On this day, 24 May 1996 Views along the Rhein.<\/p>\n

On this day in 1996, my father and I made a circle trip along the Rhein from K\u00f6ln to Koblenz, traveling south via the Right Bank and north via the Left Bank lines.<\/p>\n

Working with two cameras, I exposed these views on Kodachrome and Fujichrome slide film.<\/p>\n

Looking back, its amazing to see how much has changed on German railways in the last 22 years.<\/p>\n
