Steam in the Snow No. 5
Winter enchantment for a train-loving photographer...
Hoping to shoot "Steam in the Snow" on my first visit to the Preßnitztalbahn Narrow
Gauge Railway in 2008, I was not disappointed as the big wet snowflakes began to fly.
Amidst the swirling snow, steam, and coal smoke, this Preßnitztalbahn passenger train makes a dramatic
display as it departs Steinbach for the trip along the Wildbach to the other end of the line at Jöhstadt.
The 750-mm gauge line is in the Erzgebirge region
of eastern Germany, near the Czech border.
This is a new edit of the original from an Ektachrome-100 transparency.
