Posted by Jon Bell on Wed Nov 18 22:59:46 2009, in response to Re: PHOTOS: Germany & France, 1994 - Part 3, posted by Jon Bell on Tue Nov 17 20:41:44 2009. Now we head to Berlin. The "historic S-Bahn" train that's maintained by volunteers as a museum-type operation was running one day. My wife wasn't feeling well that day so she decided to stay at our hotel while I went out riding around. I gave myself a tour of mostly eastern Berlin, sampling a little bit of everything. Right now I'll concentrate on the S-Bahn.Historic S-Bahn at Bahnhof Zoo (West Berlin's main railroad station during the days of the Wall) and at (I think) Ostkreuz:   Interior of the historic train:  A regular S-Bahn train at Charlottenburg (right across the street from our hotel):  Another day we went up to the observation deck / restaurant of the big TV tower that the East Germans built as a showpiece. It gives a nice view of the elevated S-Bahn coming in from the east:  And somewhere along the way I saw this old-timer tucked under a bridge. I don't know who owned it or whether it was operable:  The next installment will wrap up this series with Berlin's U-Bahn and trams. |
