Germany: Bamberg to Hof on 1st to 3rd April 1972

A three day trip to time the 01 pacifics between Bamberg and Hof. Just as well that steam locomotive timing was my main reason for visiting as the weather for the entire trip was appalling, and that shows very clearly in the very low quality of the photos! I did one long session in the water meadows at Oberkotzau, and not one of the still photos from there is remotely useable! I was to visit here again in summer weather and did better photographically then.
