Alexanderplatz East Berlin Germany 18th August 1972

Alexanderplatz East Berlin Germany 18th August 1972
This is not just a shot of random railings in Alexanderplatz, Berlin but my "other" railway photograph taken in Germany in 1972 - I only took two in the three months I was there! Times have changed...

My railway interest was at a low ebb & I couldn't even be bothered to walk over to the station to get a decent shot of the Pacifics still steam-hauling trains in the eastern zone although I probably thought I might get arrested if I did. I contented myself with a snatched shot of a train arriving. Lots of interesting cars in the parking though!

HFF and keep safe in this second wave of Covid.

A good and fascinating shot! From the cars and steam train you can immediately see it' must be "historic":-) Funny enough I have never been to Berlin before reunification...

Hi Pete
A very nice picture, especially considering the equipment available to take it.
I notice the cars haven't changed.. in some cases!
