As I donned my trench coat and fedora hat, I received a call from a curious traveler who wanted to know, "Where in Germany can you visit train salvage yards?" As Detective Pux, I immediately sprang into action to solve this mystery.
First things first, I headed straight to the German Railway Museum in Nuremberg. As I entered the museum, I was greeted by a vast collection of trains, including some that were no longer in use. However, much to my dismay, the museum did not have any salvage yards on its premises.
Undeterred, I decided to search further afield and headed to the town of Uerdingen, where I had heard rumors of a train graveyard. Upon arriving, I was greeted by an imposing fence that surrounded the yard. With no way in, I decided to employ some of my detective skills and began to investigate.
As I walked around the perimeter, I spotted a small gap in the fence. It was a tight squeeze, but with a bit of wriggling, I managed to slip through. Once inside, I was greeted by a collection of rusting locomotives and carriages, all long since retired from service. As I explored further, I noticed a sign that read "Photography is strictly forbidden." Oops, I thought to myself, I hope the authorities don't catch me.
Feeling satisfied with my findings, I decided to call it a day and headed back to my office. As I sat down at my desk, I began to ponder the question at hand. Why would someone want to visit a train salvage yard? Perhaps they were a railway enthusiast, or maybe they had an unusual interest in rusting machinery. Whatever the reason, I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of someone planning a holiday to visit a train graveyard.
Just as I was about to close the case, my phone rang once again. This time it was a group of tourists who had heard of my investigation and wanted to know where they could visit a salvage yard. As Detective Pux, I couldn't disappoint my fans, so I decided to share my findings.
I informed them of the German Railway Museum in Nuremberg, which had a fantastic collection of trains and railway artifacts, although sadly no salvage yards. I also told them of the train graveyard in Uerdingen, but warned them to be careful not to get caught taking any photographs.
As the call came to an end, I couldn't help but smile. It wasn't every day that I got to solve such an unusual mystery, and I was pleased to have been able to help out some curious travelers.
In conclusion, while there may not be many train salvage yards open to the public in Germany, there are still plenty of places to visit for railway enthusiasts. From the German Railway Museum in Nuremberg to the train graveyard in Uerdingen, there's something for everyone. And who knows, maybe one day, I'll even get to visit a train salvage yard myself. After all, it never hurts to have a bit of detective fun.
