| Remarks: To the video: This is part 3 and we are back alongside tracks on 2.3% grade. We have now day two, May 23. 2010. This is a sunday and many more people are trackside as yesterday. This and other things made it difficult for good results on video. Sometimes we can hear a police helicopter or we can see a firefighting truck. There are a lot of action. The first train comes out of Neuenmarkt and begin it's climb over the Schife Ebene. Then we are on the same place as yesterday, around in the middle of the hill. I hope you've enjoyed the videos and please feel free to write a comment or a mail to me if you have any question. If you want more informations about the engines, take a look to Wikipedia. With most of the enginenumbers you can find articles there ore a complete list of Germany's Steam engines with this URL --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_preserved_steam_locomotives_in_Germany <-- Thanks for watching.
