Thank you Tomasito. This was supercalifragilistically awesome!

Brings back memories for me, travelling on those trains in the days of the GDR. In fact, I entered the GDR from Czechoslovakia at Zittau, the day before unification. I had an East German entry visa but never got an exit visa when I departed for Frankfurt and London! So technically, I am still in the GDR!

Nice! Real trains with real people.

[@schienenlaufer697]

What great a movie did you make! With a lot of information and wonderful pictures, thank you!

[@wismuthennecke1808]

Nice to see this old pictures. 👍 I was born in the GDR. The one and only little mistake I found is at 19:48. It was al Lada, not a polski Fiat. 😊 Both were build under licence by italian Fiat.

I am amazed at how these Railroads run so well and are beautiful even in the drab East block. Those engines sound so tight. Must be good mechanics there. Thank you for window behind iron curtain. One last comment , That brown coal is nasty stuff. Hope they have changed their ways. ❤

[@trainrover]

oof! nothing the slightest bit "bleak" about that snow squall filmed o'er Kurort Jonsdorf though --- the lighting became exceptionally dynamic during that MOMENTARY blusteriness there..!

[@Turitea]

This was most enjoyable. Well done.

[@ahilltodieons]

Definitely one of my favorite World of Steam documentaries. That, and Rebirth of a Railway. The railway still offers excursions to Jonsdorf, correct?

It's early morning 🌄 and I have just watched Indian steam engines. Now the current one is East Germany train. Good. I had been a goods train guard from 1971 to 1975 in Pakistan Railways. I have love 💕 for steam engines.

[@patricknoveski6409]

They are wonderful, with running gear blazing away. Many are being re built in America , thankfully.

[@MartinBrenner]

Luckily, all three narrow gauge railways still exist today and operate steam trains.

[@RailPreserver2K]
