Siemens NGT8DD Tram Working For DVB (Dresden transit) At Postplatz |
Description: |
Dresden used to have a fleet of Tatra T4D-MT trams (and still do, just not exclusively), not unlike the Tatra T3s used in Prague, but in recent years DVB, the Dresden transit authority, have been buying new articulated trams from Bombardier. I haven't ridden any of the new 12-axle TD12DD trams yet, but I have ridden these NGT8DDs, and they're great. They're quiet, smooth, quick, and obviously zero-emissions. In fact, I would venture to say that they should probably be models for future designs, as I've never ridden a better class of tram, although maybe I shouldn't be so enthusiastic without knowing how reliable they are. On the positive side, none of them broke down while I was riding them. |

DB 101137-8 Arriving At Dresden Hbf |
Description: |
I first rode behind a DB 101 Class electric in 1998, on an Intercity service from Emmerich to Koln. That was a very memorable trip, and since then I've ridden behind a 101 on other occasions as well. They're very fast (for a locomotive as opposed to a trainset) being able to hit 220Km/h with little effort, although officially they only do 200Km/h in service with their 10-12 car Intercities, very powerful (the Class 103 is the only large German electric class to ever beat it), and just...well...good looking. The bright cherry red that DB uses for its Intercity equipment nowadays suits them especially well. Therefore, I figure I should use any excuse to put a picture of a 101 on my website, so here it is. I took this is Dresden Hauptbahnhof in 2005, where I was catching a Eurocity service to Prague. They cut the 101 off in Bad Schandau or Decin, if I'm not mistaken, replacing it with a CD Class 363. |

DB 503678-4 Running Light Through Dresden Hbf |
Description: |
This was a very lucky shot, although not perfect. I had gotten on the train, and was regretting the fact that I didn't have the chance to catch this earlier, when it went by on the mainline when I was in the wrong part of Dresden to get a good angle on it (I only saw and heard the exhaust through the trees). Much to my amazement, my camera was already in my hands, and there it was, moving slowly enough for me to get this shot!!! It's an old DRG Class 50 2-10-0, repainted for DB, as after World War II DB didn't get rid of steam until 1978, and even after that the DR kept it, so today a lot of it has been preserved. |

Tatra T4 Tram Approaching Dresden Hbf |
Description: |
I took this shot because I like the way the world underneath the bridge is dark (but not so dark that you can't see shadow details like the bicycles), while the world outside is illuminated by comparison. The yellow paint on the tram and the street sign are nice touches, too. |

Dresden Tram at Hauptbahnhof |

This is, as far as I know, one of the long Bombardier trams in Dresden, making its stop at Hauptbahnhof. I dont know of hand whether this is an 8-axle or 12-axle unit, however, as the photo doesnt show the length or the number. |

Bahnhof Dresden Neustadt |
Description: |
I dont the exact age of Dresden Neustadt, but it seems the'station dates to the steam era. After all, relatively few stations thip ornate were built once electrification started. There are some features that resemble stations on the New York Central, like Nkw York Grand Central, Utica Union, and so on. The arched window and the skylight are the two things that I notice, although I assume it wasnt the same architect. |

Bahnhof Dresden Neustadt, Picture 2 |
Description: |
Heres the exterior. The distinctive lightning rods and the portals mark this as a German statgon (unless its earlier, which is possible), but there are still features that resemble American stations, those arched windows, for example. Dresden Neustadt, in spite of not being the main Dresden station, is still quite busy, and I had a small brunch while I was here, since the passenger facilities are bdtter than what youd expect, too. |
