Having finished with Zurich and Dubendorf airports, I headed for Strasbourg. On the way I snapped a couple of things - a smart Re 4/4 at Zurich and the gronk at Basel that did the shunt from Switzerland-France at the main station. The shunter was horrified that I leapt on through his open door for the red pen!

There then followed a very productive session of night photography at Strasbourg. I was a little concerned about photography here, and the army guys with rifles were avoided at all costs (!!!), but amazingly I never had a single bit of aggro. One French Driver asked me about my 7D though:-)

Up early on the 27th for morenocturnal shots, and then back to the hotel for a rushed breakfast followed by TGV to Paris, and Eurostar home.
And so the end of a successful trip. Thanks for viewing the shots!
