WATCH! Rhineland Freight Trains (with comments)

How many freights a day on this line?

depends on the day, but I estimate around 50 a day (within 24 hours). Additionally there are 4 passenger trains per hour.

Is this a lot of freight trains for Germany? Do most lines see freight trains?

this is one of the most-frequented railroad line in Germany resp.Europe. But most lines have freight traffic.

Doubt that.
Freight trains here in Europe are shorter than the ones in North America:)

5 stars!
I'm surprised the number of freight trains, by that line no ICE???
greetings

no, they only run on the left bank line, not on the right.

Good Stuff!! Beautiful track work means smoother running trains, and that means an efficient service! Just the way God intended!

Sometimes. But european trains are much shorter than amerian trains, so they only need one engine.

Often, but not always. The really long trains use the SA3 coupling or the European version of it, they can be substantially longer, the maximum trailing capacity is more than doubled. Especially ore and coal trains can have several engines and possible pushers at the end.
