Hermeskeil Station, +/- km 50.2.

.
Hermeskeil houses two railway museums. On the public side of the fence is the Hochwaldbahn Verbund which, next to museum traffic on the line Hermeskeil - Türkishmühle, is also into goods transport and rents out cars. Behind the fence and razorwire is the steamengine museum of collector Falz. Mister Falz is not always the most popular guy in musuem land as he lets most of his engines rot away outside. But I have to agree with him when he says it is better to let the old steamlokomotives 'rust in peace' than for them to be scrapped. (He also has an impressive collection parked in Falkenburg, see for example the site of Christoph Laska)

Falz collection.

In the roundhouse some of the better preserved engines are kept

More of Falz

Interesting machinery (and an autofocus problem).

This is some of the Hochwaldbahn collection

Another shot across the fence with some impressive electric lokomotives.
