Description InterCity 2410 on its way to Flensburg, seen here at Duisburg Central Station, waiting for departure. Felt like it's been a while since I shot the weekly 103-hauled train, so I took the tram from my university to the station, like in the olden days, before I got the car. And the station is still as decrepit as it was, scheduled for demolition, as explained in this journal.

I'm not that happy with any of the pics from that day, since the sun was hidden behind clouds, making this a typical bad-weather shot. I think all of my recent shots were taken on cloudy days, so I really hope that we'll get some sunshine this week! Still, a 103 is always worth a photo or two.

Also, I'd like to direct your attention to ~Delticdriver !






He joined just this week, having already uploaded many superb shots of German, Swiss and British trains. What I found rather amazing is how lots of his photos showed locomotives that I've also photographed, or places that I've also visited. So if you like my stuff, don't hesistate giving him a watch!

The greatest benefit on such weather is that you don't have the "counter sun" problem with any trains at all. I don't find it such a bad weather for photography at all! Though I must be honest, trains with sun and not counter it, its always another awesome thing. Its a nice shot non the less. Though, a little question: shouldn't you take a photo of the whole consist?

Of course, but I had so much overcast weather in the weeks leading up to this shot that I grew kinda tired of it. I did take a photo of the entire train, but didn't really like it, so I put this one up instead.
