European Railroad Discussion > End of some CNL services in December

Anyone know the route and passing times of the Paris to Berlin and Munich CNL trains? I gather the two sections leave as one train from Paris and split? In Mannheim? I hope to photograph some of the soon to be discontinued services this fall.

Was out Friday and saw the meager Basel-Copenhagen CNL train depart Frankfurt. It was a small train with one sleeper, three liegewagons and a compartment coach. To be fair though it will pick up cars from Amsterdam and Prague and should make a more substantial arrival in Copenhagen.

The Paris to Germany CNL service also has a Hamburg section. The current composition is a 12 car train: 5 cars to Berlin, 3 to Hamburg and 4 to Munich/Innsbruck. The Munich section is cut off at Mannheim while the other two sections continue on and split at Hannover. The following link shows the train crossing into Germany at Strasbourg/Kehl although I believe it has also operated via Saarbrucken.
