Photo train with
86 1333-3 in the Vogtland region
Autumn Steam in the Vogtland
On an autumn weekend in October, steam locomotive 86 1333-3 rolled through the beautiful Vogtland region hauling an authentic photo train. Along the scenic route between Plauen and Adorf—and continuing to Zwotental, Bad Brambach, and Cheb—railway enthusiasts were treated to an authentic glimpse of a bygone era. The charming branch lines of the Vogtland, with their tight curves, small stations, and picturesque views, provided the perfect backdrop for striking photographs and a touch of nostalgia.

On Sunday, the journey proceeded from Plauen via Adorf and Bad Brambach to Cheb (Czech Republic). After the locomotive was moved to the other end of the train, the return trip was made to Adorf. This was followed by a light-engine run to Zwotental, where the locomotive was again moved to the opposite end. Finally, the train traveled back to Plauen via Adorf, where the event concluded.
