Germany August 04th to 18th 1990 - A Blast from the Past
Only my second trip to Germany, a three pronged attack on the Diesels of DB by myself (Poodle) my brother (Puppy) & John "Zuzzy Hell" Sandham. The usual remit of as many diesel locos and new lines during daylight hours then electrics to get in place for the overnight.(New locos again denoted by #). Saturday 04/08/1990 No boring tales of crossing the channel - the overnight boat from Dover must have been taken as we were on the first departure from Ostend. 1601# Ostend - Liege 0532 Ostend - Koln 227km The impressive 1601 at Liege Guillemins station off the 0532 from Ostend 5530 at Liege on the 0817 to Jemelle 5530# Liege - Angleur 0817 Liege - Jemelle 6km 5505#) Angleur - Liege xxxx Jemelle - Liege 6km 5540#) 5505 & 5540 at Liege, we only had them from Angleur. Even on this short leap John nearly went missing after a fruitless search for somewhere to buy a cup of tea outside Angleur station. 1801# Liege - Koln 0634 Os
