Overall roof, Dresden style 2016-08-31--047

A three-section DB class 442 EMU (formed of sections 442115, 443115 and 442615) departs from Dresden Hbf with an S-Bahn service.

These Bombardier "Talent 2" EMUs are known as "hamster cheek" units as a result of the appearance of their front end. They come in various lengths, and some carry 1442xxx, 2442xxx and 9442xxx numbers. At the time, many of the S-Bahn services around Dresden were still loco-hauled, so I was disappointed when this was one of the few which were formed of new EMUs.

This trip saw me travel to Vienna by rail all the way from home, with overnight stops in Nürnberg in Germany and Jihlava in the Czech Republic. I stayed in Vienna for two nights, doing a steam-hauled railtour which traversed a freight line (as a result of its normal route being closed for engineering work), and then spent nearly a full day on the city's tram network before staying overnight in Linz. I then moved to Dresden for three nights, and this was taken on my first day travelling around Saxony (and slightly further afield) - while I was passing through Dresden at around lunchtime.
