    Next weekend the Eisenbahnfreunde Zollernbahn eV . are recreating the famous paralell departures from Rottweil on the lines to Spaichingen and Schwenningen.
    The trains depart on both days at 10.46, 12.46, 14.46,and 16.46. Locomotives are 52 7596 ,38 3199 and 64 419 . if anyones in Stuttgart or the Black Forest its
    well worth the trip. Had a nice run with 52 7596 yesterday and shes in fine form.

    A friend of mine has sent me some pictures of this event - which took place in a blizzard! I'll ask him whether he minds me putting them on the www.

    Further to my previous message, I have now put my friend's pictures of this event on Flickr. Apart from the weather, it looks as though it was a splendid do!

    There are 21 pictures and this is the first one; clicking on it will enlarge it and take you to the others :

    Thanks for uploading the photos ,some great shots despite the snow.
    01 519 is being restored to 1960's condition and will be a welcome and very loud performer to the german mainline.
    52 7596 took 6 wooden bodied 4 wheelers on the mainline (Nuertingen-Ludwigsburg ) at 40 kmh two Sundays ago,
    part of the route has ICEs whizzing past.
