Before March 1945 there was a rail bridge over the Rhine south of Cologne and north of Koblenz – the Erich Ludendorff Brücke- better known by non-Germans as the bridge at Remagen. The battle that was fought for control of the bridge in May 1945 will be remembered as one of the greatest military successes of the American army. The bridge eventually collapsed (and was never rebuilt) but not before Allied troops had poured over the river with their equipment and established a solid bridgehead east of the Rhine. The major part of Just Trains 12 was filmed around the east bastion of the bridge – a poignant back drop to watch modern German trains hustle over the busy corridor that is the Rhine right bank railway. We also visit ‘picture postcard” Linz am Rhein, and further south Assmannshausen just before the mighty river leaves its gorge.
