PREFACE
Anyone travelling beyond the Iron Curtain will come across a large variety of railways and tramways, which seem to have remained untouched by the postwar wave of modernisation.
This pictorial album is meant to show many of the interesting features of rail transport in Eastern Germany as it was in the years 1968-1969 and to some extent is unchanged today.
In the presentation of the many different gauges, emphasis has been laid on the local environment rather than on the technical details. It should be noted however, that a photographical survey can be no more than a mere substitute; the real atmosphere can only be experienced by the visitor.
The official East German railway timetable has been used as a guide for the topographical order of the photographs. The country must be seen as a dial around Berlin, where the subjects are logically arranged to begin with the suburbs situated east of the capital.
VORWORT
Dem West-Ostreisenden begegnen hinter dem Eisernen Vorhang die verschiedensten Schienenverkehrsmittel, die der Nachkriegsmodernisierungswelle entronnen sind.
Dieses Fotobuch bezweckt, aus der Vielzahl der Bahnbetriebe in der DDR, dem Leser das Interessanteste in Bild zu bringen, so wie die Auswahl 1968/1969 dies zuliess und in gewissem Umfang auch heute noch erlaubt. Bei der Prder verschiedenen Spurweiten steht mehr das Dekor als die Technik zentral. Doch muss darauf hingewiesen werden, dass sich aus einer fotografischen Uebersicht die Sphan Ort und Stelle von dem delikaten Beobachter nicht vollkommen prl.
Die topografische Reihenfolge der Fotoserie wurde dem Kursbuch der DDR entlehnt, d.h., dass das Land als Zifferblatt gesehen werden muss mit Berlin als Mittelpunkt. Von dort beginnt die Reise im Sinne des Uhrzeigers in den Vororten.
