  • In Part 1 we travelled from Zittau to Kurort Oybin via Bertsdorf, the junction for the branches to Kurort Oybin and Kurort Jonsdorf. In this video we travel along the two branches from Kurort Oybin to Kurort Jonsdorf via Bertsdorf where our locomotive runs round its train in heavy snow.
    The Zittau Mountains are situated in Southeast Saxony close to the Polish-Czech border. Daily trains connect Zittau to the health resorts of Oybin and Jonsdorf passing through attractive countryside and pretty villages along the way. It was snowing hard for most of our journey adding a little extra excitement as the loco crew cleared snow from around the points to allow our train to pass safely over them. Operations at Bertsdorf junction of the branches to Oybin and Jonsdorf were particularly interesting as our locomotive preformed a complicated manoeuvrer in the ever deepening snow to change direction from the Kurort Oybin to the Jonsdorf branch. This journey will be covered in three parts.

    Sanding the tracks for grip? I think I’ve seen one where that was incorporated into the engine.

    • @Timsvideochannel1
      @Timsvideochannel1  Рік тому +1

      Sanding gear is often incorporated into the locomotive wheel sets. I saw the train crew clear the worst of the snow out from between the point blades at several locations, otherwise the snow didn't appear to hinder our progress. It was novel to see the tracks under a covering of snow.

    4:07 Teufel means Devil in English, and if memory serves, Muehle(I don't have access to an umlaut, so I add an 'e' after the letter that was supposed to have it) means Mound or Hill, so Teufelsmuehle means Devil's Mound or Devil's Hill.

    • @MaxAtMyTube
      @MaxAtMyTube Рік тому

      The translation for Mühle (Muehle) is the English word "mill". So it's the "Devil's Mill".

      Sorry Neil, but 'Muehle' in German means 'Mill'. So 'Teufelsmuhle' means 'Devil's Mill'. I wonder what the Devil manufactured at Tefelsmuehle. Perhaps it was hellfire and brimstone.
