The historic train cars, the beautiful views of the countryside, and the sight of electric generating windmills really made this an interesting video for me to watch. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad that the video was interesting for you :-)
Yes, i think So. IT was historic Cars type Y vagonbau Baztzen And type X Halderstadt. Vůz Are rebuilt to modern Cars fór those regionální connects.
It is nice to have historic trains, but they are just bad for the daily commuters that have to go from Chemnitz to Leipig all the time, considering MRB wants to be a operator, that makes commuting "easier".
A great video Pete - I really enjoyed it. Leipzig station is certainly imposing and Platform 24 is incredible - how fantastic they keep these historic units in the main station. The Flying Hamburger is my favorite! The trip itself was scenic and the view from the viaduct amazing.
Thank you so much! I also like Leipzig station, especially Platform / Gleis 24, Hamburger is my favorite too :-)
What an interesting little ride Pete! You were lucky to depart from Platform 23 with the great views of the classic trains, and the views from that viaduct 😍😍😍 Not too bad value either, considering its Germany 😀
Thanks so much! Yes, next to my favorite Platform 24 :-) Btw. I took this train because of the coaches. The coaches of this type / concept are also in operation in my country, so and I wanted to compare them :-D
Super video!Zajímavej vlak,tyhle videa z Německa jsou super!
Díky moc! Mě tenhle vlak docela zajímal, protože ty vozy jsou dost podobné našim B249 a AB349 :-)
Once again thanks for the ride Pete!
Thanks so much for watching and your comment! :-)
What a great idea to showcase some old locos like this. Love it! :D
Thanks so much! I like these old school trains :-)
Moc pěkné video! Jsem si to užil! Je dobře vidět že ještě jezdí nějaké vozy z NDR a že není už jenom všechno změněné na DMU! Atmosféra ve vlaku musela být fakt pěkná! 😃
Díky moc! Ano, je to fajn, pro mě to byl hlavní důvod cesty, svézt se další variantou těchto vozů. Jen škoda těch dostazených sedadel, lepší by bylo, kdyby nechali originál, stejně jako byly ve vedlejším voze.
Nice having a opened window
Yes, the best thing on old trains :-)
Great video Pete 👌, Leipzig train station looks impressive, I like the design of this station.😎 The train on the other hand looks pretty lame. I look forward for my trip to Germany next month. I Hope to try TGV from Munich to Stuttgart 😉✌️
Thanks so much! I like this station, one of the most beautiful in Europe. The train looks a bit old school, but it was a reason why I took it .. Btw. I envy you your planned trip to Germany :-)
Cześć Pete✋✋✋ Leipzig Train Station looks fantastic. And historical train exhibition looks fine ( espeticially steam loco 👍👍👍). Another great trip report. Greetings to You ✋✋✋🚂🚂🚂
Cześć Piotrek :-) Thanks so much! I like this station, and my favorite from this exhibition is "Hamburg" diesel unit :-)
Amazing, old train, nice Station of Leipzig 😊
Greetings from Baden württemberg (south Germany)
Thank so much! Greetings from Prague :-)
all historic locos are well preserved and ready to drive!
Thanks for the info, good to know :-) But the Hamburger unit looked not operational judging by the interior.
Beautiful station
Yes, very nice station
Hezké video, je zajímavé vidět, že i v Německu jezdí staré vozidla na některých linkách, u té mě zaujala podobnost čel s jednotkami 628/845, v Chemnitzu mě překvapil fakt, že na vlaky a tramvaje si jsou tak moc blízko, u nás v ČR mě v paměti napadá jen Hlučín (Moravskoslezský kraj), kde před desítkami let z Ostravy jezdili tramvaje na nádraží, kde křížili s vlakem z Opavy :D
Díky moc :-) V Německu je to celkem časté, že jsou tramvaje blízko vlaků, dokonce někde jezdí jako lehké vlaky (vlakotramvaj). Ty řidičáky jsou opravdu hodně podobné tím čelem. Jinak i v Německu lze ještě potkat starší klasiky, a je také zajímavé, že stejný dopravce má zároveň i hodně moderní jednotky, jako např. Coradia continental
4:04 ten předek mi hoodně připomíná 845 (Limetka) :D
Jo, ty řidičáky mají hodně podobné čelo, ale výrobce je jiný.
1:31 - treasure. A big like to Leipzig Hbf for this. Now I need to put on my wishlist Leipzig Hbf, together with the DB Museum in Nurnberg.
I have visited the exhibition of historic vehicles several times, but I always have to visit platform 24 again. It is a pity that the Bauart Hamburg train doesn't have the original interior. Btw. I didn't know about the DB museum in Nürnberg, thanks a lot for the information :-)
There is (usually on Weekdays, especially Fridays) a difference between 1st and 2nd class: In the 2nd class, you have to be fast to get a seat or you have to stand, which happens nearly everytime, especially when you don't depart in Chemnitz or Leipzig. In the 1st class, it is pretty much garuanteed that you get a seat. But when you are very unlucky,, you maybe get left behind on the platform because you didn't fit on the train.
Unfortunately you caught one of the cars with single seats. Most of that MRB cars have the old bench seats with new upholstery (as seen here on the Bomz), which are a bit more comfortable. And you can pull out them in 1st class.
For me, this local transport line is one of the most comfortable in Germany, but a lot of people don't like it. Mainly because of the high entrances of the cars (which is understandable), but also because of their loud noises thank to the block brakes.
It doesn't matter, at least it catch the same interior that is photographed in their promotional materials.
This type of train also suits me more than the new low-entry units. I only found out about this regional express when I saw it in Leipzig and I was fascinated by these cars. Originally, I didn't plan this journey at all :-)
Great video. Leipzig station is huge and beautiful I like that there is a part for historical trains too. The train you rode is very old must be from 1960s/70s but at least you got to windowhanging to the lovely valley views. I wonder why there are trams in the chemnitz station
Most of the cars are from 1980s, some frome late 1970s. ;-)
@@themazeLE oh ok
Thanks so much! I also like Leipzig Hbf, especially the historic vehicles at platform 24 :-) Yes, this tram system is very interesting.
@@PeteBrandy no problem
There are trams, because in Chemnitz, trams also serve as commuter trains and connect the surrounding area with the city. And some of them can also switch to Diesel engine outside the city.
Pěkný! Like připomnělo mi to rychlík Vysočina ta první třída
Díky, jo je to takový styl vozů jako jezdí na Vysočině, no :-D
@@PeteBrandy ale musí to být dobrý zážitek se tím svést, ne? Myslím, že bych si to užil a dost možná víc, než něco jinýho, co je moderní a rychlý a tak
@@jirivalenta6382 Přesně tak. Já když jsem poprvé viděl tu soupravu, tak jsem nedolal :-)
Old trains are cool
I think so :-)
Nice video, decent looking older train, and some nice views outside. I find it great to still be able to open a window now and then. Have just booked my first DB ticket on my journey through Germany, cant' wait to get into the "saddle again". Thanks for the ride.
Thank you :-) I hope you will enjoy your trip to Germany :-)
mit dem ALEX der beste zug im ganzen land =)
Alte klassische Waggons sind schön :-)
Excellent video and if you are wondering where the bulk of the electric locomotives E04 E44 & E94 after World War II are located its in West Germany since they're called DB BR104 DB BR144 & DB BR194. Of these locomotives DB BR194 the last one on Leipzig Hbf platform 24 has power to operate on steep sections like the old Spessart Rampe Heigenbrücken Laufach. Leipzig Hbf tief was built in 2009-2013 when it was open for service. From Chemnitz (Karl Marx Stadt) you can reach Prag (Prague) by going down the Tharandter Rampe Dresden Chemnitz (Karl Marx Stadt) line then Dresden Bodenbach(Decin)-Prag (Prague) line.
Thanks for the information :-) It's very interesting about those locomotives! And also thank you for the tip, I will sometimes try the Tharandter Rampe via Dresden to Prague :-)
@@PeteBrandy okay then and in the virtual world try getting Train Sim World 2 then buy Tharandter Rampe Dresden Chemnitz Karl Marx Stadt DLC. I'm pretty sure you have friends that play that game Including your trip over the Riesa-Dresden route
The video is great as always.
The railway station in Leipzig is beautiful, I have been there in 2014, having a business trip.
I have photos of the heritage vehicles display, but only potato brick quality.
The similarity of the control coach and the diesel motor units is not coaccidental - so called the Wittenberger head.
The control system is derived from the unified DB class 111 electrolocomotive.
The other coaches are alike, than "our Czechoslovakian" ones, been imported during the 80's.
(there are 3 main differences)
I think, the ratio between the quality and price is better, if using a second class comparment in the first/second combined class coach.
1st class legroom for 2nd class price.
Pete,
thanks for the trip report.
Thanks so much! I also like this station. And during my tour of the historic vehicles at platform 24, I saw this loco hauled train, consists of classic coaches, so I tried this train :-) Btw. I took 1st class, because this train was crowded in 2nd class, 1st class was more quiet, which is better for my train review :-)
@@PeteBrandy
Can we resist a loco hauled train? No way.😎
I understand that, the quiet journey is priceless.
I used it today from Leipzig to Geithain and i used the S Bahn back to Leipzig idk why I've done this
This train is very interesting, I took this train because of the Waggonbau Bautzen coaches, similar ones also ran in my country :-)
Were you explained why there are 2 control cars in the train?
I think it was because of the capacity for bicycles. In summer, a lot of cyclists travel on weekends
Rather because of a lack of cars, the compartment cars also have bicycle spaces. In recent years, those trains often only had 4 cars or some cars borrowed from other companies.
To je hlavní trať mezi Leipzig a Chemnitz nebo vedlejší trať? Na to jak jsou to velka města mi to přijde jako "lokalka"
No defakto je to nejkratší trasa a jediná přímá trať. Pak je také možnost jet přes Drážďany, kam stejná firma jezdí s moderními jednotkami a přestoupit na IC2 nebo ICE do Lipska, což je ale oklikou a dvakrát tak daleko.
Low end train Cars...
Jsem myslel že vozy tohoto typu už v Německu nejsou 😳😄
Já taky, proto jsem to musel využít a svézt se..
Have you ever counted how many doors you have gone through 🤣🤣
No, but I think 11 :-D
@@PeteBrandy 😁👌
Horrible service. Before they had air-conditioned swinger trains (BR 612) and nowadays they are returning in the "glourious" eastern block time with such train sets.
But the 612s were even less popular. In addition, the travel times at that time were so designed for tilting technology that they were too short, and there were often delays that could not be reduced for the whole day.
