European Railway 43: Germany, Switzerland, France, Poland, Czech Republic

SWITZERLAND – First we visit a suburban station on the route to Basel and then we travel to the impressive Limmattal marshalling yard just outside of the City. A wide variety of passenger stock is seen as well as plenty of freight activity. A visit is made to the Rh tischebahn as we call into the busy Reichenau-Tamins station to the west of Chur. With snow on the ground we witness the results of a two-hour stopover with express passenger, S-Bahn local passenger & freight services all seen with a mixture of motive power at the front.
GERMANY – a look at the endangered class 420 electric multiple units at work near Stuttgart and Frankfurt-am-Main.
FRANCE – an extended look at diesels on passenger services throughout the country.
CZECH REPUBLIC – this is the first of a two-part feature looking at the railways that run north of Prague up towards Germany along the Elbe River valley.
GERMANY – we conclude our mini-series on the freight lines around Oberhausen and Duisburg with a look at freight and passenger action on the line that runs up to Emmerich and onwards into The Netherlands. This is a fascinating location in an area which is popular with European railway enthusiasts.
POLAND – our final section comes from the main line to the north of Krak w and the junction station at Kozl w. Intercity, local passenger, standard and broad gauge freight services are seen at this busy railway location. The LHS broad gauge line also runs alongside the standard-gauge tracks here. A triple-headed class ST40 freight and a double-headed ST44 train are seen running to and from Katowice.
