Interurban from Trenčianska Teplá to Trenčianske Teplice

Railway museum in Ampflwang

Steam locomotives in Ampflwang, Austria

Me and two steam locomotives at the railway museum Ampflwang. This photo reminds me of how huge these steam locomotives really are. The museum is actually a collection of locomotives but also a museum for mining. A short railroad connects the museum with the public railroad and is open for special trips with old locomotives and coaches.
