442 271 schlängelt sich als RE 4909 auf der Fahrt von Saalfeld nach Nürnberg durch den Frankenwald und wurde hinter Ludwigsstadt fotografiert.
Für die Baureihe 442 ist es der letzte Sommer beim Franken-Thüringen-Express, denn ab Dezember 2023 wird diese durch die Baureihe 1462 abgelöst.
Grund genug dafür die Frankenwaldbahn zu besuchen, vor allem, wenn man auch selbst diese Züge auf dieser Strecke fährt.
442 271 überquert als RE 4910, auf seiner Fahrt von Nürnberg nach Saalfeld (Saale), das Trogenbachviadukt in Ludwigsstadt.
1293 024 bezwingt mit einem Kesselwagenzug die steile Frankenwaldrampe und bekommt von einer ungekuppelten Schiebelok Unterstützung. Kurz vor Steinbach am Wald wanderte der Zug auf die Speicherkarte.
Für die Baureihe 442 ist es die letzte Wintersaison beim Franken-Thüringen-Express. Zum Fahrplanwechsel im Dezember 2023 werden diese durch die neue Baureihe 1462 abgelöst.
442 276 ist hier unterwegs als RE 4984 von Nürnberg nach Leipzig und wurde zwischen Steinbach am Wald und Ludwigsstadt fotografiert. Auch die zweistündlichen Leistungen bis Leipzig werden zum kommenden Fahrplanwechsel eingestellt.
Ludwigsstadt ist geprägt von der imposanten Trogenbachbrücke. Mit einer ordentlichen Steigung von bis zu 2,8 % geht es bis Steinbach am Wald steil bergauf. Relativ unbeeindruckt der Steigung beschleunigt 442 274 als RE 4987 von Leipzig nach Nürnberg aus dem Bahnhof Ludwigsstadt heraus und überquert die Ortschaft.
101 134 zieht ihre Leerreise von Leipzig nach Nürnberg über die Dächer von Ludwigsstadt hinweg und erklimmt jetzt die Steigung nach Steinbach am Wald.
Kurz vor dem Scheitelpunkt der Frankenwaldrampe (594,54 m über NN) wurde 442 270 vor Steinbach am Wald fotografiert, als er als RE 4985 von Leipzig nach Nürnberg unterwegs war. An der Fotostelle auf 568 Meter lag eine ordentliche Schneedecke! 😎
...hatte 232 356 der Wedler Franz Logistik GmbH am Haken, als sie mit ihrem Zug und Angstlok 232 141 den Standpunkt des Fotografen passierte.
Bereits als die Hinfahrt des Leerzug den Laufweg über die Schiefe Ebene nach Kronach und Coburg nahm war klar:
"die Rückfahrt könnte Interessant werden".
Und so sollte es auch ein paar Tage später werden! In zwei Teilen wurden insgesamt etwa 1500 Tonnen Holz nach Hof gefahren, dort beide Zugteile vereinigt und anschließend Ilim Timber Bavaria in Kaufering zugeführt.
Der Zug konnte kurz hinter Seulbitz auf der KBS 850 festgehalten werden.

Das Wasserschloss Mitwitz steht in der Marktgemeinde Mitwitz zwischen Coburg und Kronach im Steinachgrund an der Mündung der Föritz in die Steinach.
Am 19.10.2022 war zumindest am Nachmittag herrliches Herbstwetter im Frankenwald. Natürlich musste dies genutzt werden und so ging es nach Neukenroth um einen Erfurter Bahnservice GmbH Kesselwagenzug auf dessen Fahrt von Zeitz nach Ingolstadt bildlich festzuhalten.
151 041 zieht EZ 51626 durch den Frankenwald und erreicht in Kürze den Bahnhof Förtschendorf.

An der Kohlmühle schlängelt sich 187 138 mit einem gemischten Güterzug durch den Frankenwald in Richtung Kronach.
Mitwitz Moated Castle is located in the market town of Mitwitz—between Coburg and Kronach—in the Steinach Valley, at the confluence of the Föritz and Steinach rivers.
Mitwitz Moated Castle was first mentioned in historical records in 1266. At that time, it was held as a fief of the Bishopric of Bamberg by the Barons of Schaumberg. The lower levels of the north wing and the northern corner tower were already in existence then.
In 1425, the Lords of Rosenau—knights who held extensive estates in the surrounding area—became the owners of the castle. Descendants of the family formed a line of mintmasters from Coburg who became the new owners of the castle and the village of Mitwitz.
During the German Peasants' War, the castle was looted and partially destroyed by fire in 1525. In the years that followed, only makeshift repairs could be carried out before Hieronymus von Würtzburg acquired the property in 1575. At the end of the 16th century, Hans Veit I von Würtzburg—a member of the noble von Würtzburg family—commissioned the castle's reconstruction and expansion into its current external form. He engaged the master builder Daniel Engelhardt for the project; Engelhardt had previously planned the expansion of the Rosenberg Fortress in Kronach. The estate remained in the possession of the Barons von Würtzburg until the death of Ludwig Freiherr von Würtzburg in 1922, at the age of 77. As his daughter Annie von Würtzburg had married Theodor von Cramer-Klett Jr.—son of the industrialist Theodor von Cramer-Klett—in 1903, ownership of the castle passed to the von Cramer-Klett family. Towards the end of the Second World War, the Frankfurt City Library was relocated to the Mitwitz moated castle.
The Renaissance moated castle is a three-story, four-winged structure featuring gable roofs and four corner towers. Its interior houses several points of interest. The central courtyard contains an 18th-century Neptune fountain and a replica of the sandstone statue *Der fränkische Ritter* (The Franconian Knight)—created by Pankraz Wagner between 1572 and 1577—the original of which stands on the town fountain in Weismain. The castle chapel is located in the west wing. The upper floors contain various rooms displaying many original furnishings dating from the 16th to the 20th century. The Mirror Room features a cycle of paintings from 1755 attributed to Georg Anton Urlaub.

Auf der steilen Frankenwaldrampe werden Güterzüge ab knapp 800 Tonnen Wagenzuglast durch einer Schiebelok die Steigung ungekuppelt nachgeschoben. Eine freie und gesicherte Durchfahrt von Probstzella bis Steinbach am Wald ist zwingend erforderlich, denn bei einer Steigung über 25 ‰ bleibt dann bei Güterzügen oft nur ein zurücksetzten übrig, sollte ein Güterzug an der Steigung zum halten kommen.
Am 8. September 2016 hatte 151 103 die Aufgabe den EZ 51626 von Probstzella nach Steinbach am Wald nachzuschieben. Hier passiert der Zug den großen Trogenbachviadukt über den Hausdächern von Ludwigsstadt.

Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472 Kronach - 1553 Weimar)
Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien
Lucas Cranach the Elder (German: Lucas Cranach der Ältere) was a German Renaissance painter. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_Cranach_the_Elder
"The account of the beheading of Holofernes by Judith is given in the deuterocanonical Book of Judith, and is the subject of many paintings and sculptures from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. In the story, Judith, a beautiful widow, is able to enter the tent of Holofernes because of his desire for her. Holofernes was an Assyrian general who was about to destroy Judith's home, the city of Bethulia. Overcome with drink, he passes out and is decapitated by Judith; his head is taken away in a basket (often depicted as being carried by an elderly female servant)." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_beheading_Holofernes

Am 10.05. fand eine Sonderzugfahrt der 18 201 von Leipzig nach Wien statt, Grund genug dafür in den Frankenwald zu fahren. Zwischen Steinbach am Wald und Förtschendorf an der Bastelsmühle wurde der Zug erlegt. Völlig ungeplant gesellte sich noch ein Trabi in das Bild... :)
