Good Morning! Another rather drab and gray day here. No sign of Summer. As it looks, the few really hot days we had at the beginning of the month were this year´s Summer [:'(] We won´t be visiting another line in Germans southwest today. We won´t be up north, nor south, east or west, but right in the middle of this country. We will vist the Mansfeld Mining Railway, or better - the remnants of it. This line was once a huge network of narrow gauge lines connecting a number of small copper mines. Total lenghth was close to 65 miles! Each day, over 50 passenger trains and the same number of freight trains ran over this network. The decline began in the early 1960´s and by the time the Berlin Wall came down, only a stretch of 8 miles was left. <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6PFVyN5-FNE" width="425" height="350"></iframe> Enjoy!
