A Fitting Backdrop

With the UNESCO World Heritage site of Völklinger Hütte, the only preserved ironworks from the heyday of industrialisation, in the background, SaarRail 151 161 enters the yard at Völklingen with the Suppenzug (Soup Train).

 

These trains transport molten iron 17-km along the main line railway between the blast furnaces at Dillingen Hütte and the processing steelworks of Saarstahl AG in Völklingen.
