Perched high in a 13th<\/sup>century stone tower on the Oberwesel city wall, I made this photograph of a container boat navigating up river on the Rhein as a northward freight of GATX tank cars rolls by behind a Bombardier Traxx electric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of two very busy railways, a busy water way and a medieval town set in a supremely picturesque setting make Oberwesel, Germany among my favorite places to photograph trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this visit the pesky fluffy clouds tended to stay out of the way of the sun, which had been an annoyance on previous visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the course of just a few hours, I exposed weeks worth of photographs. Although this view minimizes the wall itself, I made plenty of photographs of Oberwesel and its architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
