Some days, ๐Ÿš…, ๐Ÿš‚, ๐ŸšŒ, โ›ด๏ธ, two switch failures (๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช), fully booked trains with mandatory seat reservations (๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ->๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช), a lack of alternatives due to construction works and compatible rolling stock (๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ->๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช) later, #BlankSpots continues in northern ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Germany.
My 238th obligatory Antwerp main station appreciation post ๐Ÿ˜ #BlankSpots
Lars at a train station so early in the morning... That means it's going to be an eventful day. ๐Ÿ‘€ #BlankSpots
The Kiel-Flensburg line provides a curiosity. Due to the construction of a new bridge across the Schlei and the poor condition of the old one, the Schlei can only be crossed on foot. The train line isndisrupted and has two terminus station on both ends of the bridge: "Rieseby Schleibrรผcke Sรผd" and "Boren-Lindaunis Schleibrรผcke Nord". This may be inconvenient for locals, but is randomly interesting to me. #BlankSpots
The advantage of this route is that I can change to the IC ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Flensburg - ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Fredericia, which doesn't require a seat reservation. Otherwise I would habe ended in the often crowded EuroCity Hamburg-Copenhagen. But more importantly, it is a DSB MF/IC3 also known as 'rubber nose', which is one of the most cozy train I have ever been on! #BlankSpots
Tog er fantastiske! ๐Ÿ˜
(Trains are fantastic!) #BlankSpots
In Fredericia, I finally spot an DSB IC4 train running in the right direction. Two minutes later, I board this regional train to Odense.
The IC4 were manufactured by Ansaldo-Breda between 2005 and 2013. However, the train is considered deficient and the delivery was late. The trains are going to be replaced by the also delayed IC5. #BlankSpots

@larstransportworld Any audio recording of the frankly scary sound of the poor engines when it accelerates? It sounds as if the poor engine is close to giving its last breath.

Edit: Ah, I found one I recorded myself. The interesting bit starts at 0:20
