MY FATHER, MY
BROTHER AND I TOOK A TRIP TO GERMANY BACK IN 1981. WE HAD LUNCH IN A
THE LITTLE TOWN OF RÜDESHEIM ON THE RHINE RIVER. THIS EASILY WAS
THE BUSIEST RAILROAD THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. THERE WAS NONSTOP
ACTION. A TRAIN EVERY 4 TO 5 MINUTES, MOSTLY PASSENGER, BUT SOME
FREIGHTS TOO. WHEN WE GOT DONE WITH LUNCH, I SNAPPED PHOTOS OF 3
TRAINS AS WE WALKED TO OUR PARKED CAR. AMAZING. |
