This was a very short episode, but it was very challenging for me to drive. After the overtaking in Geislingen West, the way up the Steige was now clear, but the sky had become very overcast. We set off through Geislingen an der Steige, and shortly afterwards the heavy rain started. Heavy trains are pushed along here by a pusher locomotive, but this was not necessary for me due to the weight. Of the initial 70 km/h, only about 40 km/h remained at the end because the rain had a strong influence on the traction properties. Despite this, the situation was handled quite well and the climb towards Ulm is no longer so steep and the descent towards the end is steep. As always, have fun :)
