Central Bahn Charter_83022_St Goarshausen, Germany_180924_01
Whilst travelling back to the UK by train from the OeBB event in Switzerland, a short stopover was made on the eastern side of the Rhine in Germany. Unfortunately traffic flows were extremely poor during my 1.5 day visit - in most hours the only services I saw were the local trains to and from Frankfurt Main. Meanwhile, on the western side of the Rhine, it was one freight after another. This is the 3rd time in succession I have found traffic flows on the eastern side of the Rhine very limited.
One of the few trains that did run on the eastern side of the Rhine was a Central Bahn charter train unexpectedly too. Here we see Central Bahn locomotive 110 278 passing through St Goarshausen with a loaded charter train from Soest to Mainz Hbf on the morning of the 18/9/24, which ran as train number 83022 (thank you Wouter for the train ID).
