With 213 over the Rennsteig- Memories of the scheduled traffic 1998 I

About :
The Rennsteigbahn is best known for the legendary vehicles used on it: after the rack locomotives, the 94, later the beautiful Babelsberg ladies of the 118/later 228 series came onto the line to haul their trains over the steep sections. In 1994, this chapter was also over, because the now available 213 series, the West V100 suitable for steep sections, promised savings potential than the large 228. The possibility of introducing push-pull train operation with the 213 was another plus point. This meant that the time-consuming relocation on the Rennsteig could be eliminated and traffic was made much easier. It was not possible to avoid failures of the 213 and 228 replacements, but this was limited on the Rennsteig. To ensure the use of the 213 on the Rennsteigbahn, the Friedbergbahn Suhl-Schleusingen continued to be served by the 228 (see also my videos on this). In 1998, traffic on the Rennsteigbahn was significantly reduced: the state of Thuringia cancelled local services between Ilmenau and Schleusingen. The development of this step was predictable: the number of passengers between Rennsteig and Schleusingen had always been very manageable, but the state of Thuringia still wanted to stick with rail transport. The DB, however, took a different view and did not want to make any more major investments, so the length of the slow-speed sections continued to increase. This put the regular service at risk, as the trains could no longer reach the Rennsteig crossing point on time. For example, there was a slow-speed section from Meyersgrund behind Manebach to Stützerbach, which cost the trains a lot of time. Then the state of Thuringia put a stop to it: if we pay for rail transport, we want it too - the railway would have liked to have the bus service at the price of rail. So the Rennsteigbahn issue was completely over, at least an active association on the route ensured that rail transport was still possible. In the video I show you the scheduled service with the 213, from the winter of 1997 to the end in May 1998, when even three-car trains were running. The 213 had a lot to do... in this part Schleusingen-Ilmenau, in part 2 you can see the opposite direction.
