Today I'm spending a day in Hamburg and the nearby area.
Hamburg Hauptbahnhof - the busiest station in Germany
First I'm taking a train to Lüneburg - which is 50km southeast of Hamburg. The line is operated by the largest non-state-owned railway company in Germany - Metronom.
Rolling stock is from Bombardier, push pull composition of double deck coaches and locomotives.
S-Bahn DB Class 474
Intercity train with DB Class 101 locomotive from ADtranz
DB Class 189 Eurosprinter
DB Class 140 from EVB logistik
Two Eurosprinter locomotives, DB Class 152 and DB Class 189, basically the same locomotive, with the difference that the first one (ES 64 F) is equipped with one electric system (15kV 16.7Hz) while the other one (ES 64 F4) is equipped with all four systems used in Europe (15kV 16.7Hz, 25kV 50Hz, 1.5kV DC, and 3kV DC).
Maschen Marshalling Yard, the largest one in Europe. The total track length here is 300km!
Winsen (Luhe)
Not allowed to drink alcohol. Is it only in 1st class? I have seen passengers drinking...
Lüneburg
Train continues to Uelzen
DB Class 243, the east German locomotive from 1984
Seems to be a retro train with old coaches as well
Does not have to wait long here to see the next train. The line between Hamburg and Hannover is one of the important freight routes, and part of the TEN-T corridor Scandinavian-Mediteranean.
