- LargoLasskhyfv 2y agoI rode in this as a railfanning child while on a day trip somewhere in the Siegerland. Looong ago. 1978/79 maybe? So exiting, because having never seen them before :) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB-Baureihe_ETA_176 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB-Baureihe_ETA_176 Much, much later somewhere in the 'Ruhrpott', around 199x, feeling rather surreal because of switching back and forth slowly through the apocalyptic yards of abandoned industrial ruins, with brand new Nokia regional HQ in the midst. Shiny new glass buildings with multiple large satellite dishes on the roof. And a soon to be opened S-Bahn track to there. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB-Baureihe_ETA_150 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB-Baureihe_ETA_150
