Dear Steemians
As you may remember, I visited Verdun a few weeks ago. Since I like to move outside the freeways, if the time permits, I chose this time the route over the country roads. Here I saw near a small village, whose name I unfortunately omitted, this attraction:
From a bridge I catched sight of a imposing number of discarded trains standing on overgrown tracks. As I am interested in trains since childhood, I did not want to miss this opportunity and decided to visit this final resting place of those, once so proud rail vehicles.
It astonished me, which partly still modern vehicles found their last peace here, if one sees some older models which are still in service nowadays. Can it be that, also in the train construction, the quality is no longer the same as was a few decades ago?
Anyway, I hope you have fun with these, this time a bit different, sleeping beauties:
Liebe Steemians
Wie ihr Euch vielleicht errinnern könnt, habe ich vor ein paar Wochen Verdun besucht. Da ich mich, wenn die Zeitvorgabe es zulässt, gerne mal ausserhalb der Autobahnen bewege, wählte ich auch diesmal die Strecke über die Landstrasse. Hierbei traf ich in einer kleinen Ortschaft, deren Name mir leider entfallen ist, auf diese Sehenswürdigkeit. Von einer Brücke sah ich eine stattliche Anzahl ausrangierter Züge auf zugewachsenen Gleisen stehen. Da ich mich schon von Kind auf für Züge interessierte, wollte ich mir diese Gelegenheit nicht entgehen lassen und besuchte diese letzte Ruhestätte der einst stolzen Schienenfahrzeuge.
Es verwunderte mich, welche zum Teil noch moderne Fahrzeuge hier ihre letzte Ruhe fanden, wenn man doch oft noch ältere Modelle im Einsatz sehen kann. Kann es sein, dass auch im Zugbau die Qualität nicht mehr die gleiche ist, wie das noch vor einigen Jahrzehnten der Fall war?
Wie dem auch sei, ich will Euch die Fotos nicht länger vorenthalten:

No train driver will be on duty here anymore.
Hier wird wohl kein Lokführer mehr Dienst tun.
Looks like they're ready for a race.
Sieht so aus, als ob sie zu einem Rennen bereitstehen.
There are large ....
Es enstehen große und ....
... and small works of art ...
... kleine Kunstwerke ....
... and decay, wherever you look.
... und Verfall, wo man auch hinblickt.
The sprayer left this wagon its identity.
Der Sprayer liess diesem Waggon seine Identität.
No child will see this warning anymore: "Don't touch the door, it's very dangerous!"
Kein Kind wird diese Warnung mehr sehen: "Fasse die Tür nicht an, es ist sehr gefährlich!"
I hope you liked my, a bit different and for Railroad-lovers maybe sad, train-photos and wish you a nice day.
Take care of yourselves,
Yours, Patrick
Ich hoffe meine etwas anderen und vielleicht für Eisenbahnfreunde ein wenig traurigen Zug-Fotos haben Euch gefallen und wünsche Euch noch ein guten Tag.
Passt auf Euch auf,
Eurer Patrick

Yes, indeed! I just wonder why they do not recycle all the material. Guess there are huge amounts of steel, Aluminium and other to bring back into the circle.

Well, I think these old machines and wagons were left behind and nobody cares what happens to them.

That's the first thing that I thought. Why don't they recycle it, it's a huge amount of steel and aluminium.

Wonderful photos! I love the art that people have painted on the trains. Some of it is surprisingly good! Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you so very much, Denise :)
Yes, they did a great job and I like it more on these old trains as if they do it on other peoples property.
