In the top right hand corner of Germany is the town Neuburg. It has two terminal stations, unusually. The main one serves all through trains for the cities such as Leipzig, Hamburg and Berlin.
Neuburg Heumarkt is much more mundane than that. Its services are mainly to the coastal towns serving some of the islands and the outlying parts of Neuburg itself. It does have a Mitropa servicing depot, which means that parts of the trains from the HBf appear here. The dining cars are replenished and sleeping cars have their bedding etc renewed.
Its minor league status does have benifits from the EisenbahnFreunde point of view. The services you are watching are involved in a DieselLokFest week. To celebrate the opportunities recently availed by the falling of the Wall, some locos from the West may be seen on services to the coast in particular. It helps improve ridership, if nothing else.
