A late winter ride from Kaiserlautern to Bad Kreuznach (over Eselsfurth.)

 

[Grandma]

This is so beautiful - Arlberg, Austria:

Brocken, in central Germany, is the country's highest peak. Long ago it was used by the local pagans for rituals, more recently it was a spy radio hub for the Soviets.
Now it's a mega tourist attraction, served exclusively by steam trains.

Another beautiful ride, this time in Switzerland:

There's a fab little ski resort on the Czech Republic/ Poland border where all the locals go. So what if there's a little bit of snow on the tracks, we'll plow it off as we go along!

The Berlin Strassenbahn uses the historic 3rd rail subway trains from the East/West days.
This is the Stadtbahn Weskreus - Ostbanhof.

30 years ago this ride was in East Germany. It goes from east Berlin to Frankfurt Oder.

When the Soviets took over East Germany, they changed the names of some towns to copy existing cities. So Frankfurt Oder (Other) is not the real Frankfurt. The real Frankfurt is in the southwest corner of Germany.

 

[Grandma]

Real Frankfurt is much more modern and urban.
(Sorry about the focus, this guy always posts low-quality vids.)

Here's a much nicer ride, in 2 parts. Part 1 takes a bit, but after 20 minutes or so you'll find yourself next to the Rhine, passing through a series of Olde Townes with castles all over the place.

 

[Grandma]

And here's Part 2:

Beautiful Carcassonne:

So neat.....reminds me of some of the places I see on The Amazing Race.

 

[Mertex]

Don't know if this one has been posted....thought it was appropriate for this time of the year

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is running out of oil. To keep the money flowing in they've decided to create the resort town to end all resort towns, Dubai. Once nothing but miles of sand by the sea, it's now a booming and very modern metropolis with some very very cool architecture.
There are 2 tramlines serving the city, the red line and the green line. Both are 100% automated - there's no one driving the trains.

This is a ride on the red line:

air conditioned platforms from the look of it.

Oh yes. Everything indoors is air conditioned there.

 

[Grandma]

Not so much scenic as it is really cool, this is the overhung monorail at Dortmunder Universitat, Germany. I want one.

 

[Grandma]

It's so sad that so many of our scenic railroads and shortlines are disappearing.

 

[Grandma]

Ever wonder what Bulgaria looks like?
