M. Parsons Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Welcome aboard and thanks for sharing those wonderful photos! Your English is just fine. If you have shots of trolleybuses and Duewag trams, and for that matter, the rare Siemen's RegioSprinter I would love to see those as well!

captaintrolley Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Very nice trams. I love how Germany is so clean. The roads and sidewalks are sparkling. Many European cities are like that. It shows a lot of civic pride. Thanks again for sharing your photos with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D40LF Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Danke für das Lob und auch für die VerbesserungDu kannst Deutsch? Warum? Thanks forcommendation and correction. You're speaking German? Why? Took German in university, sadly don't remember too much these days but always happy to use it, especially to welcome someone to the board! I studied the history of the KPEV (Prussia) as well as the PKP. As a result I picked up quite a bit of knowledge on older German locomotives.

MCW Metrobus Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Took German in university, sadly don't remember too much these days but always happy to use it, especially to welcome someone to the board! I studied introductory German in university as well. I did use it on occasion during my first season working in tourism, because many German tourists visit Vancouver, and many German travel agencies all work with the same company in Canada, which was one of my employer's biggest clients. My German was good enough that I could handle small groups of guests fairly easily - until something went wrong, then I was screwed. LOL. Probably a bit rusty now... Also, wilkommen zum CPTDB, Marius! Hier sind wir vielen "Transit-fans" von Canada. Wir wilkommen immer gern zu unseren Gemeinde neuen Transit-fans.

M. Parsons Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I think, we talk at cross-purposes. http://bahnbilder-nrw.bplaced.net/galerie/...f5sdaf054af.jpg This is the RegioSprinter, I talked from. Do you mean this one? Yep! We had one come to North America. I ran for a period in Calgary, made a brief visit to Edmonton, and I believe ran for awhile in San Diego. http://www.barp.ca/bus/alberta/ct/regiosprinter.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that one of those made it out here. Surprised VIA didn't try it out lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlo86 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 So for those who follow updates on my website regularly, you will have noticed a steady stream of photos from several places in Europe. Included in this are Germany. So far I've got some photos from Berlin and Munich up. Frankfurt, Cologne and Solingen are also coming in the near future. Anyways, one of the neatest things I came upon were some trams built between 1967-1969 still operating in Munich! Here are some photos, you can find more photos by heading to my website in the link at the bottom of this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duwag U2 late 70's/early 80's from Frankfurt A DAF/Berkhof articulated trolleybus from Solingen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9924 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Mahlzeit! Seeing that you've taken quite a few photos in Solingen, I'm surprised not to be seeing any photos of the schwebebahn in Wuppertal ... better get on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing that you've taken quite a few photos in Solingen, I'm surprised not to be seeing any photos of the schwebebahn in Wuppertal ... better get on that Exactly..That would be another dream place to fan. I love all the youtube videos of that. Simon even has a youtube in 3D, but you need those cheap paper 3D glasses, not the ones they currently use in the theaters. I am still searching for a pair of 3D glasses that will work on this particular video. It can be viewed in regular format as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9924 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Dusseldorf Airport has one as well, built after the fire destroyed most of the airport back in 1996. It links the new airport train station which is located on the main tracks by the threshold of runways 23L and R with the main terminal and car park ... there is also a great observation area located on the roof of the train station as well as the observation on the roof of Pier B of the main terminal. The train station used to be under the main terminal and there still is one but the only train to use it is a S-Bahn to the main train station in Dusseldorf where a you can access DB's entire network from the new station without having to change trains in Dusseldorf or Duisburg or Essen.

9924 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 That's what I miss about Germany, the variety of public transportation. I had a tram stop right in front of my door so when I'd g to work, I'd hop on to the tram to the train station, hop on a train and then a bus. DUS airport was 15 mins away, hop on the tram to Duisburg Hbf, onto a train to the airport, onto the schwebebahn to the terminal and on to the airplane.
