In connection with the building of an underpass to replace the current level crossing, there was an open day at Wilchingen-Hallau railway station on Saturday
Although the station is very much on Swiss soil, it is usually served only by the DB (German Railways). Yesterday, as part of the open day, a special Swiss steam service chuffed its way between Schaffhausen and Wilchingen-Hallau.
Because afternoon temperatures have been hovering around 30°C recently, and to avoid the crowds, we took the very first train of the day and were treated to a beautiful, quiet and leisurely journey in an almost empty carriage.
Black and White pictures in summer? Well, here’s a taste. More on that in a later posting.
