Hamburg to Utrecht

(Please note this post was made 2017-04-06). Day 6 of my summer trip to Europe via Göteborg and Malmö. As I mentioned in my earlier posts (beginning of July 2014) I was making two trips to Amsterdam, one by plane, other one by train. This is my train trip from Copenhagen to Amsterdam with a stop in Hamburg.

 I have left Hamburg and now changing trains in Hannover. There is a faster way with two IC trains to Amsterdam, but I choose to take ICE trains and change 2 times, once in Hannover and the other one is Duisburg.

 I was joined by this company of birds while waiting

 I wonder what they are waiting for...

 Passing by trains

 Fascinating way of coupling two trains

 After some rainy trip through Germany, I end up in sunny Utrecht

 Don't ask me how I got this photograph

Copenhagen to Hamburg

(Please note this post was made 2017-04-05). Day 5 of my summer trip to Europe via Göteborg and Malmö. As I mentioned in my earlier posts (beginning of July 2014) I was making two trips to Amsterdam, one by plane, other one by train.

 I'm leaving Malmö, for a change of trains in Copenhagen.

 X31 from Malmö

 This time it will be ICE-TD train

 This train has a DSB logo at the front

 The train has been in service on this route from 2007, and it seems that the 2017 will be the last year.

 Back in 2014, X2 trains from Sweden were using the regular platforms, and actually continued all the way to Østerport

 IC4 train at Næstved

 Miniatur Wunderland - That is the reason why i decided to stop one day in Hamburg

 It is the largest model railway installation in the world
