Description I'm often surprised by my pictures when I download them, but it's very, very rare that I like them better than expected. This is an example for that. I really like this picture because lighting and color is very much not what I usually manage to take.

There's a backstory involving railroad maintenance and the like, but it's boring even by my standards. Herzogenrath, where this was taken, just isn't that interesting. By the way, I was not trespassing, I was standing on the way that leads from the platform to the parking garage. The train is, as always, a class 643.2 DMU by Bombardier, manufacturer's name Talent, owned and operated by DB specifically for the Euregiobahn network.

So was it a through the fence or over the fence shot? I've done through the fence before, quite difficult. Especially with barbed wire...

Colours are good here, as is the composition I think. That platform, looks very shiny and new, has it been open for very long?

And, of course, Talent... age...

Neither, there is simply no fence there. Seeing how people who want to jump on the rails can do so easily from the platform as well, I don't think it really matters. Not sure how long this platform has been open, but Herzogenrath looks generally very modern and new, so I doubt it's more than ten years.

Thank you for the !
