The trip is continuing further west to Frankfurt.
Here are some trains at the Nuremberg station, before leaving to Frankfurt. This one above is Bombardier Talent 2.
This one is the luxury version of Intercity, also known as Metropolitan.
ICE-T train will take me further to Frankfurt.
Frankfurt is the main financial centre of Germany and Europe.
Frankfurt main station has 24 platforms and is one of largest one level railway hall.
Next day, the trip is going along the Rhine and Moselle rivers. Here is the Rhine river seen from Intercity train.
The final destination today is town Cochem. To get there there is a change of trains in Koblenz.

Here is Stadler Flirt used for VIAS service. Swedish X74 for MTR Express is using a similar model.

On the eastern side, the VIAS company is operating.
The railway from Koblenz to Frankfurt is on both sides of the Rhine river.

Burg Pfalzgrafenstein.
Next stop for me is town of Rüdesheim am Rhein.
Many cargo trains are passing here.
The town as many others in this area are famous for its winery.
Cargo trains are passing here with a very high density. Together with a cargo shipping on the river, this route makes an important path from north to south in Germany.
The trains are passing nearby the town, and there have been plans to build a bypass tunnel to avoid the noise for the citizens and tourists.
Among all the cargo trains, few passenger trains are passing here.
The train station building of Rudesheim.
Now it's time to move further back to Frankfurt.
The train is passing by Wiesbaden.
Back in Frankfurt. This is Bombardier Itino, a familiar diesel car in Sweden, also known as Y31/Y32.
This train is only operating in Sweden and Germany.
