Germany GermanySaalfeld: Who doesn't remember this great place? Saalfeld was the last stand for the Pacifics of class 01 and the Mikados of class 41. It was the last realy impressive resort of steam in Germany. All kind of trains were running with steam until the end in 1986...
So it was no wonder why my first steam-tour leads me to Saalfeld. In summer of 1984 I came here for just one day. Because of the cheap camera and the awful ORWO-Chrome-films the pictures were very bad, but the impressions of this day are very strong until now...
