The time has come for the train highlight of this trip: My personal #Intercity 1 farewell tour! It is my second attempt to board the #DB IC 2214 "Deichgraf" at Bremen. In November 2024, #DanskDiesel had to be reorganised due to the cancellation of the IC 2214. This time, I am successful in boarding, but the train is delayed by about 30 minutes. It's a very quiet ride on this Sunday morning. #AmRumReisen

At Itzehoe, the #DB #Intercity 2214 Deichgraf changes traction. This is one of the last times that two DB 218 Class engines will pull an IC 1 train from Itzehoe to Westerland. Some trainspotters are waiting for the delayed train along its route over the Nord-Ostsee Canal towards Sylt. ICE L trains have already started operating on this line. The last IC 1 trains will run on 30 April/1 May from/to Westerland if I am not mistaken. 😥 #AmRumReisen

@larstransportworld The compartment merits the terms 'salon' or 'saloon' or 'lounge'. There is an echo of the comfortable familiarity of a drawing-room. With modern designs, they may be efficient and 'clean' but they are a travel space. They are not like 'home'
