One of the best known and most popular German islands is the North Frisian island of Sylt. The 11.3 km long Hindenburg Dam, built in 1927, connects it to the mainland. It is part of the Marschbahn Hamburg-Westerland and is reserved exclusively for rail traffic. Join us through the history of the Marschbahn or West Coast Railway from Hamburg-Altona to Westerland. We will show you the construction of the famous Hindenburg Dam in historical film documents and the operation in the 1950s in old DB films. Experience the operation yesterday and today. In "Yesterday" the series 01.10 and 218 run. In "Today" you will see the new 245 and the competition for the Sylt Shuttle. Of course, a look back at the quaint Sylt Island Railway is also included.
