Route: Dresden-Leipzig. Train: CD 162. Not sure if it counts but it is a unique train heading for Leipzig led by a czech locomotive subsituting for a failed DB BR 155. (I love czech locomotives, their sound is beautiful). Its not a very common occurence considering its going trough germany. *inspired by youtube thumbnails*
Synchronized rail cleaning on the MML, the MPV cleans the fast line to Chesterfield while the Class 20 takes the slow line to Matlock.
