Schrankenpost 34, on the edge of Coesfeld
As I went for a small detour to the cemetary for drinking water the weather took a turn for the worse. I skipped a bit and walked straight to Coesfeld station. Here I suffered a weak moment. It was raining, the weatherforecast talked about periods with rain, interrupted by rian showers and more rain and I found there was a train leaving for Enschede in half an hour. Though the plan had been to walk on to Borken and Winterswijk I decided to give in and go home.
With hindsight the German weatherforecast showed as reliable as the Dutch, because a week of sunny and warm weather followed.

A bridge intended for double track.

The heydays of station Coesfeld are obviously in the past. As so many German railroad stations it is certainly not suffering from too much maintenance

.

Some long abandoned offices

"Wasch mich" (look closely at the white stripe)


And so I headed for home, still following the rails but now a bit more comfortable and a lot faster.
