A whole film for the weekend. It was called the Prussian Eastern Railway - the 590-kilometer-long railway line between Berlin and Königsberg in East Prussia, which opened in 1867. Even today, the kilometering begins at Berlin's Eastern Station, but ends at kilometer 83.0 on the Polish border. And not without reason, because the history of the Eastern Railway is closely linked to the world wars and the resulting border shifts. Today, a large part of the line belongs to Poland and the last 60 kilometers before Königsberg belong to Russia. Join us on the Eastern Railway yesterday and today. Yesterday, steam traction dominated the scene, today it is diesel traction. Familiar faces such as the 03, 18, 52, 38, Ol 49, Polish Taiga drums and many more will inspire you. A visit to the Pila steam locomotive works, the former Schneidemühl, is also a must. More here: https://www.ekshop.de/dvd-cd/dvd/baur...
