German trains and small town Veysenburg

Writes Dmitry Chistoprudov:

Initially we planned to spend a day in Strasbourg, but the weather upset all plans. Direct trains from Landau in the day was not and we had to change trains in some Veysenburge. Then our train was canceled, we left an hour later, in the late docking and eventually spent three o'clock in the small Veysenburge (or Wissembourg), which, incidentally, is not a bit regret ...

Buy a ticket, we were able only in the machine - building of the station was closed on December 25! Well, that was our brother, we would otherwise have to look for an interpreter to cope with the terminal.
I was convinced that the Germans had the schedule all very strict. But the weather was stronger than the German pedantry, and at 10 in the morning, our train came. Later, he even canceled.

But the "service" of another. Compare these train our commuter train does not work, although the range of following them about one.
Impressive ride height - the platform in a 2-3 times lower than ours, and the gap between car and platform are not so cruel.



Inside the wagons fairly clean for the winter.
The train consists of four cars: two traction and two trailer. In front of a diesel engine, so the floor is raised here.

That's not clear what overpay for the business? The same chair, but other interior.



Each train has a civilized toilet. Something like the toilet on the plane, but three times more spacious.

Coming out of a shop, we met a gay Frenchman who previously worked as a diplomat in Novosibirsk, Russia drove all from Moscow to Vladivostok, and even still is watch commander.



He took us around the city, telling all sorts of stories about his life, about work in Russia and about Veysenburg, and in the end walks invited us to his home for dinner and offered accommodation.



But we still really wanted to get that day to Strasbourg.

Another "Russian" - dog named Smirnov Vodka.

Well, well, that the train was canceled, otherwise we would not walk on the miraculous town. True to view Strasbourg we eventually just left a half hour
