Evening All,
I've just uploaded a video of the Vennbahn in 1999 to my new YouTube channel. This line used to criss-cross the Belgian / German border but, sadly, it was closed in 2001 as there were insufficient funds to maintain it. There used to be special tourist trains with either steam or diesel traction, and I was lucky enough to see, and film, one of these in 1999.
Here's the link to a reminder of the days when a DRB Class 50 2-10-0 could be heard whistling across the High Fenn:
Hope it's of interest.
