A tribute to the historic diesel train VT 601 (VT 11.5) of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB).

The train was used for the west german Trans Europ Express (TEE) in the 1950/1960s, later as an InterCity (IC) and a regular train.

At 4:45 and 7:48 you can see the VT 602 which had a gas turbine engine.

I used more than 120 different pictures and the tracks "Trans Europe Express", "Abzug" and "Metal on metal" of Kraftwerk's remix album "The Mix".

  • where stand bst for from the blue one

  • @PrekiFromPoland Yes, this stock was Deutsche Bundesbahn's historic VT 11.5 unit using the power cars 601 014-4 and 601 019-3. It quit running passenger charters in 1999 and sadly later on went into inoperable status. 

  • @Dokker62 - that's very sad! I've seen photos of one unit as a special train from Köln to Kaliningrad via Polish part of so-called "Ostbahn". Is that unit you've mentioned?

  • 1:11, it looks like they were kissing; train porn?
