Germany


Brandenburg(Havel): 1987 was the last year of true steam activities by the DR. Many depots had some locomotives under steam, mostly just one or two the same time. Not so here: Brandenburg had five or six engines in service every day! The daily changing services and locomotives made taking photos a little difficult, but also very interesting. Only the permanently present policemen were a big problem if you tried to get a good shot of the depot...

52.8156 Bw Bn 26.04.87   Bw Brandenburg Hbf 06.09.87
One of the "hot" shots in the depot...   From the platforms it was much easier to get a photo - but not so attractive...
52.8171 Brandenburg 06.09.87   52.8189 Brandenburg-Altstadt 20.06.87
52.8171 is arriving Brandenburg Hbf coming from Werder.   52.8189 without a train near Brandenburg-Altstadt...
Strafzettel   52.8135 (26.04.87)
What a luck: After demanding the film the policemen left after paying without... But what can be illegal to take that picture of 52.8135 leaving Brandenburg???
