Einbahn: The Railway Pages 

The name for this website was inspired by an episode in my first solo trip to Europe in September 2001. I had visited Italy and was staying for a few days in Kufstein and decided to leave the rental car there and take the train to the Zillertalbahn and then on to  Innsbruck. 
Once in Innsbruck I found the Hauptbahnhof (main station) to be photographically uninspiring and decided to explore outside the station.  My German was and still is non-existent so I was excited to see this sign pointing to another Bahn (railway). I followed this sign but it just led to more streets and eventually to a main road with trolleybuses & trams so things were not totally lost but I was disappointed that I never got to photograph that other railway in Innsbruck.

Much later I discovered it was simply a "One-Way Street" sign.

Please read my  "Introductory Notes & Observations".

Areas covered include Ontario and the bordering states of New York and Michigan. Slightly further afield were the results of trips to Connecticut,  New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. During the 1970s I was a regular traveler to Britain and some of those steam, diesel and electric are included. In the late 1980s and early 90s I discovered the fascination of the ex-DRGW 3ft narrow gauge steam lines and I visited Colorado and New Mexico. A trip to Europe in 2000 introduced me to the current railway scene in Italy, Austria & Germany and that was supplemented with more trips in 2001 & 2002. In 2003 I made my first railway visits to Hungary & Switzerland. 2004 featured 2 trips which included Germany, Switzerland, Slovakia, Hungary and a visit in the fall for the first time to the Czech Republic. Spring 2005 saw visits to Calgary and the Rockies to Vancouver and Victoria, then summer 2005 to Poland and more of the Czech Republic. April 2006 saw another trip to Saxony & the Czech Republic  to visit trolleybus cities and photograph more trams in Most, Prague, Plauen, Zwickau, Chemnitz & Dresden. April 2007 featured 10 days based in Berlin with visits to Szczecin & Gorzow in Poland as well as Schwerin, Rostock & Brandenburg and in September 2007 to Prague for Jihlava & Marianske L�zně as well as return visits to transit systems in the western portion of the country.
Also included are some non-railway scenic photos of sites along the way.
