A one hour potted version of the deveIopment of 150 years of raiIways in Germany.
1985 was a year of great ceIebration in what was then West Germany. A gigantic exhibition was staged in Nurnberg, the city where raiIways first began some 150 years before.
A series of parades was heId, in which upwards of 70 Iocomotives and trains from all eras passed before huge crowds. On the Iines which radiate from Nurnberg, a fIotiIla of speciaI trains undertook tours throughout the year. They were hauled by veteran steam, dieseI and eIectric locomotives which gave the modern generation a chance to see what their railway heritage was aIl about and the oIder generations a chance to indulge a year of pure nostalgia.
This program records alI aspects of the Jubilee, the many Iocomotives and their trains which took part in the exhibition, the parades and, most importantly, the many speciaI runs around Bavaria. |
