Erm ... by simply clicking on the picture's url, it suggests to me 'somewhere in Germany'.

I bow out now. I thank you.  Wink Cheesy Grin

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Hi Chris,

Yes taken in Germany did not want to make it to hard, it just that there was a classic film made about this bridge.

Hi eightf48544,

Yes Remagen was in the area of Bonn so i had to go and see the Bridge at Remagan. Classic Film.

Also went on the German Monorail at Wuppertal Schwebebahn had a weekend of train bashing around that part of Germany.

There was a pretty train run from bonn to frankfurt and great value of 19 euros after flying with lufthansa.

Well, I saw a bridge and 'Germany', so my little grey cells were pointing me to 'Remagen'. Comes from watching Sunday afternoon movies on ITV I guess......  Wink Grin
