Germany to Denmark, train ferry, Summer, 1969 (015)

My longest trip while stationed in Europe was a week-long summer trip by train to Scandinavia. The travel itself was, in many ways, the most exciting part. On two segments of the trip, they have to load the train onto ferries for crossing parts of the Baltic Sea. I found this whole process of train travel combined with loading the train onto a ferry, to be quite fascinating. And then from Copenhagen to Oslo, the tracks run close to the Baltic Sea through very scenic areas.

This is sailing into Denmark, from Germany.


Pictures in this set (Military Years) are from when I was in the military, from 1967-1970. All photos were originally slides, a friend spent very many hours restoring those slides to being viewable. Best viewed as part of the Military Years set.
