Photography / Transportation

I took typical railroad pictures of these trains, knowing that I'd probably never post them because they were boring. Then, when walking down the stairs of Quedlinburg station to get to track 2, I saw this view. I really like it; what do you think?

HEX stands for Harz-Elbe-Express; it's a subsidiary of Veolia Transdev and runs regional lines in the south-west of Saxony Anhalt. They exclusively use Alstom Coradia LINT DMUs, in both long (LINT 41 or class 648) and short (LINT 27 or class 640) versions. Here, two of them are standing in Quedlinburg station. The one facing me will continue south to Thale, while its opposite will run north to Halberstadt, where it will be coupled to another train coming from Blankenburg. Both then continue to Magdeburg. I think. Thanks to lots of trains splitting up and being coupled in Halberstadt, the timetable is quite a mess, and the only way to actually navigate it is to use DB's website or iPhone apps. That really has everything, including connections from Carlisle to Beijing if that's what you're after. Anyway, on weekends, some trains also continue all the way to Berlin, making this one of the very, very few private long-distance rail operators in Germany.

Aweomse photo here. Like the effect of seeing the train through the fence!

Thank you! It's not really a typical rail picture, but that's what I like about it.
