We were in Trier for the Dampf Spektakel so most of our time was spent at the station! However we did explore the city centre and this most impressive building is the Porta Nigra a monumental Roman gateway dating from the Second century AD. HFF to everyone & have a great weekend.

DB electric 185 198-9 on a tank train heading north towards Koblenz passes the ruins of Ehrenfels Castle and the vineyards on the east bank of the Rhine. Together with the Mäuseturm and the Klopp Castle it formed a northward barrier from the 13th Century, in order to protect the territory of the archbishopric of Mainz. The castle, which was used in times of war as a hiding place for the cathedral treasury of Aachen, was extensively destroyed in 1689.

So when are we going then? The crew of Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) Class 03 Pacific 1010 await the off at Trier during the Rheinland-Pfalz Dampf Spektakel.

Stoom Stichting Nederland's DB 01 Pacific 1075 takes the curves in the Saar valley south of Trier with the 10.08 train during the Rhineland-Palatinate Dampf Spektakel.

Five years ago to the day we took a river trip along the beautiful Rhine gorge between Koblenz and Bingen/Rudesheim. This is the Burg Reichenstein in Trechtingshausen on the west bank of the river. Of course there has to be a train somewhere - just in view on the left is an electric multiple unit heading north towards Bingen with a power boat on the right seemingly racing it.... And oh yes, there is a fence so HFF everyone. Have a great weekend
