Germany 1

Now and then I make a little trip to Cologne in Germany. There's no need to wait for a train on central station. So many different kind of trains! Sometimes I need more than one film. Speed is very important! Cologne is an Eldorado for Railrunners, Trainfans and Trainspotters. Whereever you look it's a coming and going of trains. There are six tracks on the Hohenzoller bridge over the river Rhine near by the station. Often a lot of trains arrive and depart at the same time. It's very difficult to aim my camera at the right train then. In the big hall under the platforms you can eat and drink and buy some trainsouvenirs.


A coming and going of trains. It is a feast for a Railrunner's eyes.
