I had already announced it as a trailer back then: Every morning, Monday to Friday, DB Cargo serves the UPM paper factory via the Fuchstalbahn. Arrival is always between 5:10 and 5:30 a.m., the shunting work begins almost immediately with the locomotive being moved, usually the train brings at least 10 empty wagons, which are then parked at the station and taken up as needed or according to the list, for example: 5 wagons are separated from the train, 3 of them go to track 7, the rest to track 6 and track 8, wagons are attached in between and shunted back to track 4 at the end, where they are attached to the train... The shunting is relatively quick and is not for people who are sensitive to noise, usually the wagons are relatively old and creak every time they start and brake, the wheel flanges of the axles naturally scratch the inner rail because the radii of the switches are quite tight, not to mention the rapid braking, which of course tends to push the wagons together and then stretch them out again... (coupling play) The The locomotive is usually a Claas 77 made in Britain, which is known for its distinctive rumbling and hissing, but occasionally the 294 can be found at the end of the train... You can see the sequence of 3 days, although I had to stop on the first day because of rain and on one day no train came because something was broken... The scenes are described down to the minute and supplemented by start and destination tracks. The length of the trains may not have been calculated correctly, but could be roughly correct. The stake cars could be empty ones from the Pröbstl in Leeder, which are taken on the return journey to Augsburg.
