RIS snowplough SPM 302, Nossen Snowplough SPM 302 type 'Meiningen' (30 50 979 3 203-5, built in 1972) of Regio Infra Service Sachsen (RIS, owned by CVAG and RPE) seen after heavy work on the track of the Freiberg route of Nossen railway station. The snowplough was pushed by 112 708. It was the beginning of winter storm 'Daisy' which caused heavy snowfall on the evening and the fallowing weekend. Nossen is located on the second saxonian mainline linking Leipzig and Dresden. Long time ago it was an important hub with routes to Riesa, Freiberg-Moldova (Czech Republic) and Freital. Today the station is regulary only operated by regional trains consisting of class 642 DMUs, although there is a heritage association operating many steam locomotives for railfanning.

Mulda (Sachsen) is a station on the line Freiberg (Sachsen) - Holzhau (Erzgebirge), which is now operated by the Freiberger Eisenbahn. In this station, the Regioshuttles of both directions meet, and here I also saw this combination of a locomotive (numbered V100.01) and a snowplough (type Meiningen W), both operated by "Regio Infra Service, RP Eisenbahn GmbH, Wachenheim". RP Eisenbahn owns the lines Freiberg - Holzhau and Alzey - Kirchheimbolanden (with eurobahn passenger trains), and leased the line Langenlonsheim - Morbach (with BGW freight trains). 2001-03-14.
