Rushing by


We are back to Heidelberger Platz where an U-Bahn train leaves the station. U-Bahn trains have always been yellow while S-Bahn trains are red (although they also have a touch of yellow). I really love this station, those vaulted ceilings and beautiful lamps make for such wonderful details. The walls of this station are also lined with photos of the city of Heidelberg which add a really nice touch.


Here is a look inside the one of the cars on line 3. These are the "older" type style of cars that were modeled on the original U-Bahn carriages. This is the only type of car that travels on line 3, but some of the more modern lines have the totally open carriages like you see on some line of the Paris metro and in Toronto.

  3. Amazing place. How I wish we had this kind of transportation in this country. I like the lamps, too, and the whole scene looks nice and cheery.

  5. Great motion capture, and I love the yellow. The interior looks quite different from the transport here in Montreal.

  9. I'm enjoying your photos of the U-bahn! My greatest memory of the Berlin U-bahn is when the West Berlin U-bahn went through 'ghost stations' which were underneath the then East Berlin, it was very eerie. Have those 'ghost stations' come back into use?

  11. Last night at our local camera club meeting we studied motion. The instructor posted a picture of a woman standing in front of a passing train in the New York Subway system. Much like your shot, only yours is much more colorful. Very appealing!
