Parallelfahrt to Semmering
Sun was totally gone by now, but I didn't care. Semmering railway with all its curves is moody on its own, add to that the beautifully colored foliage: it's probably even better without sunshine.
I had reserved a hotel in Semmering so no hurry as I was finding my way through the forests. I ventually ended up on top of the entrance of the Weberkogeltunnel. This train came as a surprise: I had just shot an uphill scrap train, while all of a sudden another uphill train came around the corner, slowly passing the first one. A video of the moment is right here.
Unfortunately, also the Semmering railway has fallen for the Vectronization of Europe's rail.
