Nice pictures,and sharp color.I think the first one of the massive hump yard is my favorite.It seems to go on forever.And the tank cars,I never thought of GATX having a presents in Europe.But since their name used to be German American Tank Car Co. before changing it to General American ,I should not be surprised.Thank you.

The sound that you can hear in this vids is the sound of the freightcar wheels pushing the break "buttons" which are inside the rails so that the the freightcar gets slowed down.
Der Ton entsteht, wenn die Waggone die Bremsknöpfe an der Innenseite der Schienen betätigen, so dass sie heruntergebremst werden.

Hope you enjoy my pics!
Ich hoffe, die Bilder gefallen!
