Plans

I had to go to Aachen by train today, and I saw, that the hash is just on the track. An opportunity, that wasn't missable. A kind of moving couch potato :-)

Expedition

This should be easy as pi(e). Just sitting in the train and waiting for the hashpoint to move by. But shortly after I was in the train, there was an announcement, that there was a fire-figthing on the tracks between Frankfurt an Siegburg, and so the train would be redirected through the rhine valley (with an additional time effort of 90 minutes).So I gave up the hash, but just before we entered the station there was another announcement that the fire-fighting was finished and we could use the track.

When we came close to the hash, I got a little bit nervous. We were moving with about 300 KM/h, and so it would be hard tio catch a proof. For safety, I made a screenshot a minute before we got there, and themn, the green sign appeared, and I pressed the buttons nad I thought I got a good shot, but ... it is lost. So all I have is a screenshot 8 KM from the hash, but a track that shows, that I had crossed the hashpoint, so I guess, you have to take this as a proof. Especially can you see the speed, we had, when we crossed the hash, and as the track is licensed for 300 KM/h I guess, this even qualifies me for speed racer :-)
