Re: Bildgåta

Bildgåta 16 – kanalbildgåta 9 Hvilken kanal i hvilket land? https://up.picr.de/43822917kz.jpg Entering Kiel canal from the Baltic Sea, Germany, Schleswig-Holstein. If I would guess, then the picture is taken in 1994 onboard Hurtigruten’s brand new MS Nordlys on its introductory tour to England? ;)

Re: Bildgåta

The two locks under question are very nearby in distance and time and could pretty much consider as the same system. And I had real difficulties differentiating the locks at first, since they all have similar style. :) You have unique and interesting pictures. Looks like a great ride through the loc...

Re: Bildgåta

/---/ Men slussen är Brusnitsjnoje . With all due respect, here I would have to make a correction. :o Brusnitsjnoje as the first lock when travelling from Vyborg is lower: the under-bridge clearance height is 8,5m as seen in the picture below. In addition, the view would be different since the quay...

Re: Bildgåta

“Ser ut som Rysland (river boats, vegetation, glass frames), but it’s too neat and clean,” was the first impression of seeing the picture. :| But there exists a canal that fits to both conditions: Saimaa canal between Saimaa lake and Vyborg. Situated in Karelia, built during the 19th century Tzar ti...

Re: Bildgåta

Göta Canal in Tåtorp, in the centre of Central Sweden The direction of the picture is towards the east, coming from lake Vänern and just before arriving to lake Viken. It seems to be pretty much the highest point of Göta canal. I would guess the picture was taken from the bridge of MS Wilhelm Tham (...

Re: Ny italiensk tågfärja

Very fascinating details and nice to see the pictures! Besides the train ferry connection in operation through the closest port of Villa San Giovanni, yes, there still seems to exist a train ferry berth with rail track in Reggio Calabria (although almost double the ferry crossing distance). However,...

Re: Ny italiensk tågfärja

/---/ och järnvägsvagnar för förbindelsen Sicilien-Sardinien. /---/ Probably it’s just for transporting rail vechicles to be taken into service on Sardegna only when required, through the Port of Messina in Sicily. Perhaps also mentioned in attempt to strenghten the bid for new rail ferries. Such p...

Re: Bildgåta

This picture looks like Wittower Fähre in North Rügen, just before 1994, until when both previous train ferries “Wittow” (1896) and “Bergen” (1911, initially named "Jasper von Maltzahn", which apparently replaced older ferry “Jasmund”) operated. Narrow gauge (750mm) train route Bergen auf ...
