240: Overseas, Germany, Cologne area, 30/03/09
30th March 2009

LAST UPDATED 15/04/09. CURRENTLY CONTAINS 77 PHOTOS.
Day 1 of my first proper trip to Germany. Koln Messe/Deutz, Deutzerfeld depot, Gremberg yard & depot, Koln Sud, and Koln West. Gremberg yard was surprisingly quiet, I'll put that down to being there on a Monday morning before the weeks freight had really got moving. A good walk around the depot itself more than made up for it, with great access for photos, and 66 locos recorded.
