Germany: Mosel Valley on 3rd July 1971

My seventh trip to Germany in less that number of months. Again a "double overnight" trip, sleeping where I could on the trains travelling overnight on the way out and back. And again to the wonderful Mosel Valley with it's tremendous scenery and superb display of steam locomotive action. But a line sadly being electrified in the early 1970s.
