Backyard checklist - 1 - a photo on Flickriver

            The RE20/RB22 is the only line near where I live which still has locomotive hauled regional trains. In 2020 when I first moved to the Rhein-Main area the trains were hauled exclusively by the East German designed 143 and 114 class. However, in 2021 the locomotives were partially, but not completely replaced by more modern Bombardier 146s. Due to a persistent locomotive shortage the 114s and more infrequently leased 143s make an appearance on the line. 

In 2020 I was completely oblivious to the line and never photographed it when it was easy. In the last two years I have tried to get some of the 114 workings after work, but the locomotive turns never seem to line up on days when I remember to check and its sunny. 

Last Friday I checked BahnExperte and was surprised to see no less than 5 BR 114s in the pattern, and with two headed southbound in good evening light. A quick trip after work truip up to Bad Camberg was in order. 

Here 114 018 leads a Frankfurt bound service past the old Bahnwärterhaus (signalman's house) just south of Bad Camberg.
