18 316 Weinsberg departure
Here's a memory of the relatively few public outings of the incredible four-cylinder Pacific 18 316 with its 2,10 m driving wheels.
On October 4, 1997 it pulled a special to Nürnberg. My friend Jörg and I jumped at the chance to shoot the train at Weinsberg with its semaphore signals. The train had a scheduled stop at Weinsberg to meet a regular passenger train. We thought that shooting at both ends would be viable. It was.
We were right in time for the departure. We left the car on the "dark side", dashed across the tracks and joined the photoline.
A cracked wheel sidelined the 18 316 permanently a few years later. It remains a display at the Mannheim Technoseum.
