Von Zechen und Zügen - Eine Zeitreise durch die Ära von Kohle und Stahl

Since 2018, German underground coal mining has no longer been subsidized. This marks the end of an era. Not only for the mines, but also for the trains that significantly shaped this industrial age as factory and mine railways.
With many historical photographs of steam locomotives and industrial plants, this illustrated book also revels in romantic memories of the railway. But the present also offers exciting things: museums, industrial wastelands, museum steam and leisure fun on spoil heaps...
