Tim, Thank you for another excellent production of yours. I thoroughly enjoyed the train ride and the German scenery: luscious meadows with greenery everywhere. What a lovely place to be in.
This area was new to me and I'd love to return in summer. I used Google Earth to follow the route and was surprised to see so many traditional seaside towns complete with ornate piers reminding me of the days when my home town still had a pier until most of it was washed away in a storm.
Than you Tim for another wonderful video! You say that the line is used 'by local and tourists alike'. This line is not a 'heritage line' run by enthusiasts. Rather it forms part of the regular all-the-year round public transport system.
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. This railway is an integral part of the areas public transport system operating throughout the year, although there are more trains running during the summer months.
Ffestiniog Railway has been running since 1832 without that being a problem! It's the oldest railway company in the world still operating under its original company with the worlds oldest railway workshop in operation. Well worth a visit if you ever get to Wales!
The rail width is 75 cm, which is about 2.5 inches less than 3 feet. A standard guage railway is 143.5 cm ( 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) so not really much difference.
Hello Hans, thank you for your help, it was appreciated. This was a friendly railway, I really enjoyed my visit and if I get the opportunity I'll return during the summer months.

Hello Nicholas, I'm off to Wales next week to visit narrow gauge railways and your observations match my own, non of the Welsh railways run a year round service. The German railways I have featured lately are located in Saxony, East Germany and they own their continued existence to the days when East Germany was part of the Soviet Block. During the comunist era these railways were an integral part of the public transport network, private cars were rare and often public transport was the only way ordinary folk could travel. When the Berlin Wall came down these railways were run by the state and expected to fail when faced with Western style road competition, as it turned out, far sighted local authorities took these lines over from the state operator, retaining them as part of the local transport infrastructure. Today they serve a twin roll as both a valuable transport mode and a tourist attraction.

@@top40researcher31 Broad, Standard and Narrow, but the last of these have a number of variants depending on the size of the engines and carriages that will run on them.
@@neilforbes416 The four typical types of gauges are: broad, standard, narrow, and dual. Other gauges are listed in a note. Some 60% of the world's railways use the standard gauge of 1.4 m (4.7 ft). Gauges vary by country and sometimes within countries.

Is this one that used to share with the standard gauge tracks over a section before they said it was dangerous !!? After it had been doing the same for about a 150 years with not one incident or near miss !! l went on it about 25 years ago while staying in Straslund fur mine urlaub !
Hello, the trains still share the dual guage tracks in the summer months as can be seen in the timetable shown in this link - www.steam-route-saxony.com/en/ore-mountains_chemnitz/237/Ruegensche_BaederBahn.html
My favourite view of all, just one little thing not quite right. The Driver didn't keep up a sharp bark, which he needs to do to make the engine heard as she approaches each and every crossing. A loud sharp bark and a loud short toot of the whistle is enough to warn people and road vehicles to keep well clear, so no-one gets killed.
It's always good to hear the steam engine approaching, although in some cases the driver was slowing for stations, many of which were near to level crossings, leaving him with just the whistle to warn of his approach.
Hi, please click on this link and scroll down to the timetables - www.steam-route-saxony.com/en/ore-mountains_chemnitz/237/Ruegensche_BaederBahn.html In the summer months some of the trains do start and finish in Lauterbach Mole.
At 24 km or what is remaining of the longer route, it is thus longer than the L & B here and serves maybe as an object lesson as to why one line got shut down in the 1930s with undue haste I must add whereas the North German counterpart has survived at least in part. It’s a curious world we live in.
I hope I get to see the L & B re-opened in my lifetime, after all miracles do happen, just look at the Welsh Highland Railway today. Many of the East German narrow gauge railways own there survival to the communist era where public transport was often the only means of transport. The railways were all run by the state and after the fall of the Berlin wall they were expected to close. Fortunately, many including the Harz Mountain Railways along the railways around Dresden and this railway were saved by far sighted local authorities to continue operating as an integral part of the public transport network. These days a considerable number of tourists visit Saxony just to see and ride on these wonderful railways.
Tim, thanks for making my day with this video. Although I’m from an entirely different world - one of broadguage rail lines, overcrowded trains and stations, mindless and purposeless hurry, big egos and rapacious greed for money etc. yet, I would like to see these quiet railways where ambitions are small and contentment high.
Sometimes it's nice to take time out to enjoy the little things that make life so much better and what better way to relax than to take a little train trough pretty countryside for no reason other than to enjoy the ride 😊.
@@Timsvideochannel1 I think we’ve chatted about this before. I’ve got the “wildlife eye” from many years of birding and hunting. I REALLY like this video. The more remote the countryside, the more I enjoy the “ride.”
@@franklinbrooks9506 My wife travels regularly by train along the UK's South Coast, it makes her day when she sees wild deer in the fields next to the railway.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Awesome. Our Whitetail Deer in Georgia, US, graze right in our back yard. We put out food for them in cold weather. They’re like pets.
@@franklinbrooks9506 Wow, I'd love to be able to feed wild deer in my own back garden, although the antics of the squirrels stealing bird seed from the bird feeders makes me smile.
They' ve certainly got some stations that "God forgot", but even they are 10 times more interesting, cheerful and characterful than the "Prison Bus" halts that are in vogue with Rail Track (Or whatever they are called these five minutes) as new stations.
I love travelling through the former Iron Curtain countries, its like going back in time to Britain in the 60's before the Beeching axe fell on lightly used rural branch lines.
