Not my video, but I liked it so I had to research a bit to find out where it is from, and I want to share. (DB fan here) Eschenlohe (Bavaria, Germany), on the Munich to Garmisch-Partenkirchen Railway, a single-track electrified line.

For the second day, we travelled from Milan to Udine. Nothing out of the ordinary, a 4:11h trip with Frecciarossa. It has a 24-minute stop in Venezia Mestre, more than enough for a (vending machine) coffee and a few pictures. We chose to have an overnight in Udine because Austria finished the Koralm Railway, and now we have shorter travel times from Vienna to Italy, which should put it on the map, so to speak. Having a kid, travel times are of the essence. 🤷 I'll add the previous post and pictures from Udine as replies. In the next days, I'll be back with the last leg of this trip, from Udine to Vienna.

For nostalgics, here's the TGV breaking the rail speed record, dating back to 1955, by reaching 380 km/h, on February 26, 1981.

Sometimes it's about trains AND cars.

Fiat ETR 450 Pendolino, the tilting Italian train, was launched in 1988 on the Rome to Milan route.

Bernina Express, top of the bucket list. I said at some point that I want to wait for the little one to grow, and then enjoy it. #trainstr
