Uhm. When I grew up in .de I've been part of the youth movement collecting 'Vorsichtsbefehle' and 'Bremszettel' from the engineers in their locomotives. From maybe 1979 to 1982, that is ;-) We were thrilled when we spotted the Lufthansa Airport Express https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Class_403_(1973) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Class_403_(1973) , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Class_VT_11.5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Class_VT_11.5 , or gave us free cab-rides from Bonn to Cologne, or Koblenz and back on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Class_103 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Class_103 ! Later from about 1990 to 2008 in different parts of Germany (mostly Rhine-Ruhr-Area and Hamburg) whenever I saw lots of people on bridges or roadsides with cameras and tripods I knew there was something special on approach, and stopped if time permitted. It was often worthwhile because of thundering steam :-) Meanwhile I moved away and visit only 1 to 2 times per year, but it still is like this. Maybe you are not watching? Or your ways don't go along where the rail tracks are, often enough? Thinking about it, I haven't seen any of it over the whole Covid-phase. That was a definitive dent. I hope it starts again.
