European Tribune

Oh, easyí, that's the end of the TGV Est line at Baudrecourt, the tracks connecting to the Metz-Strasbourg line, and you appear to be sitting on an evening high-speed train to/from Frankfurt, here. (Also see here.)

I made two photos on the same spot last year (only looking from the line on the bridge towards the line your train whizzled along), but - no polar filter, no adjustments, and shot from the other side of the train, so I am ashamed of their very poor quality - so here is one very small...

Two better photos - the first is the new UFO front of Strasbourg's old station building, after an early morning night train arrival:

Not all railways are high-speed - here is a pre-sunset farewell to a train that took me into the middle of nowhere:

From the rear cab pictures, which I'd place either a fek kilometres before the junction photos or somewhere after Reims, I can also tell it's a train from Frankfurt :-)
