Taking a short break from house- and work-related matters, I spent a little time today catching up on some of my backlog of photos from Europe. Today: pictures from my visit to the Schönberger Strand railway museum near Kiel. This museum is the bigger brother of the Aumühle roundhouse that I visited in June; if you're interested in trains, it makes a decent day trip (or half-day trip) up from Hamburg.
Side fact: there are no more streetcars in Hamburg, but someday Hamburgers may be able to ride a Hamburg streetcar in San Francisco as part of the Market Street Railway. Hamburg car #3557 was brought to San Francisco in 1979; it ran in SF for four summers, but currently sits sidelined, awaiting restoration for rust problems and modifications for handicapped accessibility.
