Bingen am Rhein Rheinland-Pfalz Germany July 1973

            It's 12.41  and Deutsche Bundesbahn Class 50 2-10-0 050-042-1 Kriegslok simmers with another smokey locomotive around the turntable of the roofless half-roundhouse in the summer heat. 

The Altstadt of Bingen can be seen on the east bank of the river Nahe behind the shed wall. The Rhine is off shot to the left.

Although I knew that steam was still in service in this area I saw the smoke drifting across by chance alongside the road while hitch-hiking along the western side of the Rhein Valley. This was my first view and I sneaked into the entrance & took this tentative photo from afar expecting to be challenged. I wasn't so walked up to the turntable and took more photos - see earlier posts.

I don't recognise the cars but the pick-up looks like a VW.
