Rhine Valley by train
~~
A train ride along the Rhine Valley from Cologne & Koblenz to Mainz, passing mountains, castles, vineyards, river boats and the legendary Lorelei Rock.
~
The train is the old Cologne-Vienna EuroNight sleeper, which back in 2014 had older sleeping-cars with windows that opened,
and
it left earlier than it does now, so more journey was done in daylight.
~
For that reason it was a better train to video from than most modern trains, including the current Cologne-Vienna sleeper!
