In 1983 I spent a holiday in the Neckar Valley region and having a regional rail ticket did a bit of travelling around. I had mainly monotone film at the time and thought this group of pictures may be of interest. Some have been published earlier, but this selection has been grouped including some of them so please forgive any duplication.
Heidelberg Hbf - Station pilot Br260 940-2 in a centre road within the station environs.
Appraoching retirement and resting in the yard, Br160 012-1 - one of the last of its class remaining operational in June1983.
This next sub-group shows on the first two various wagons at Neckarelz. Note what appears to be a modified former tender near to the end of the line.
The third picture was taken from my train as we passed the preservation site at Darmstadt-Kranichstein . The class 24 on record as being at the DME there is 24 009, so I assume that this is that loco.
Br111 089-9 awaits departure to Franfurt from Aschaffenberg.
Br 110 164-1 at Neckarelz Hbf.
That's the lot for now. Thanks for looking and your kind tolerance of these less than first class efforts. My report card says "Must try harder......."
