Going from Trier to Saarbrücken, you want to sit on the right side with a view of the river Saar. But the train was too busy for that. Turns out things get really interesting on the left side once you get closer to Saarbrücken – all the old steel mills and assorted industry and attached railway infrastructure make for a lot to see.
The stop train takes one and a half times the time of the express train. And no, it doesn’t have a long stop along the way. It just stops a lot. These diesel things really are terrible at accelerating.

Quick reminder that if you run more than one train per hour, it is cheaper to just electrify the line already than toy with ingenious alternatives.

Ironically, a bunch of slightly overweight children left the train at Landau.
(This toot for old German people only.)

The northern of the two signal boxes at Winden (Pfalz) – very much still in use – was taken into service in 1899!

I've just found this about trades in middle age which is somehow amusing.
You know about Dante and you probably also know he fell in love with Beatrice Portinari.
That girl got married to Simone De' Bardi who was a member of one of the richest family in Florence. They ran a trade company with branches all over Europe, in Africa and Asia too.
We're here around 1300 (not sure the exact week 😁) but that company was probably founded some time before. This also adds to the idea that trades were quite developed in the middle age too.

That is a little odd, and I'd think that is a violation of the implicit addressing conventions...
If as:Public is not addressed, it is not public. End of story...
Edit: oh, I loaded up the AP resource. to contains public, so that's ok.
