Early this Sunday morning, we headed back to the railway tracks for trainspotting. The plan was to see steam locomotive 52 7409, just like the day before, only this time at full speed on a different route.
Well, as is so often the case, the train was once again out of sync. So all that was left was to

Two trainspotters arranged to meet up again for some trainspotting. This time, their target was steam locomotive 52 7409. Fresh from its restoration, it was making a 240km round trip through the Spessart region, along the Main and Tauber rivers to Wertheim.

On Saturday evening, Tron and I went to Aschaffenburg Central Station again. There, steam locomotive 35 1097-1 was to pick up its passengers again for the return trip to Treysa.
The wait was once again a test of patience. After more than 60 minutes and a track change, the special train arrived at Aschaffenburg

On the evening of December 20, 2025, Chris and I went trainspotting together again. If only he had told me beforehand how much patience I would need. As it turned out later, our photo subject was running quite late. All that was left to do was wait and see what would happen.

There was steam in the boiler again in Aschaffenburg. Despite the dreary weather, we trainspotters set out to photograph Julchen, the steam locomotive of the Treysa Railway Enthusiasts Association. It was another test of patience. Running quite late and with raindrops in tow, she roared past us with

On the first Sunday of Advent, steam trains were running again in Aschaffenburg. The Hanau Museum Railway Association, in cooperation with the Westfrankenbahn railway, was on its way to the Christmas market in Amorbach. The day was to bring bad news. Due to a staff shortage at the Großkrotzenburg signal

Despite the freezing temperatures, we took a short trip to Lake Kaltengrund. Along the way, we encountered some bizarre forms of hair ice. Unfortunately, the sun had hidden itself from us when we arrived at the top, so I couldn't take the pictures I had envisioned. So, after some time and increasingly

It was that time again. A special train from the Rhineland was making its way via Aschaffenburg and the Main Valley Railway to Würzburg.
In Hanau, the electric locomotive swapped places with a steam locomotive, which would now take the train from there to Würzburg. So we both set off and took up positions

Christian and I met up again for some trainspotting. A steam-hauled special train from the Ruhr area was expected, bound for Würzburg. We also managed to photograph some modern technology along the way. 😊

There was steam in the air again, so we set off to prepare for what was to come.
In the chilly +7 degrees Celsius, it was a real game of patience. I only had vague information about when the convoy of two Class 01 steam locomotives would set off on their journey via Aschaffenburg to Nördlingen. It turned

A special highlight awaited trainspotters that day: two steam locomotives in succession on their journey through Germany. The Class 01 locomotives were an impressive sight as they chugged and steamed past. It's not something you see every day.

To end the day on a high note, we went back to the Main Valley Railway. There we waited for steam locomotive 52 7409 to return from Wertheim.
As the wait dragged on once again, it finally came chugging around the bend.
