Experience real rarities in color: for example, early images of the high-speed locomotives 18 201 and 18 314, of 03 or 23 001, the first 44 converted to oil firing, of numerous Reko locomotives and color images of rare locomotives that were in Halle for weighing.
In addition, there are numerous images of the trial operation of new diesel and electric locomotives of the DR, starting with V 180 001 and the DR medium-distance railcars VT 4.12 to the "White Lady" 243 001 and the 230 series.

Kolonne - Die Deutsche Reichsbahn im Dienste der Sowjetunion

The term "Kolonnenwesen" (convoy system) was used to describe the transport of reparations goods by the DR from the Soviet occupation zone to the Soviet Union. In addition to locomotives, tracks, overhead lines and entire industrial plants were transported from what later became the GDR to the Soviet Union.

How these goods got to the USSR, how these transports were organized and under what conditions those affected had to work remained a mystery for a long time.
This book, for which the authors also interviewed contemporary witnesses, offers a comprehensive overview of this important chapter in German railway history.

Lokomotivbau 'Karl Marx' - Die Lokschmiede der DDR in Babelsberg

Potsdam, just outside Berlin, with the district of Babelsberg, is not only well-known for its traditional film studio, but also for its locomotive construction under the brand name "Locomotives from Babelsberg".
Founded in 1899 as a branch of the Märkische Lokomotivfabrik Orenstein & Koppel, after the Second World War, with the division of Germany, it became a state-owned enterprise with the approval of the Soviet Military Administration. Initially run as the "Lokomotivfabrik Karl-Marx Babelsberg", in 1951, with the merger of the locomotive and wagon factories under the umbrella of the Association of State-Owned Locomotive and Wagon Construction Companies of the GDR (VEB LOWA), it became the "Lokomotivbau Karl Marx Babelsberg" company.

This volume documents the reconstruction and early activities of the state-owned company, the construction of field and mine locomotives, fireless locomotives, narrow-gauge steam locomotives and the like.
Irrepeatable snapshots show the workers at their workplaces handling a variety of machines and equipment, at the lathes and milling machines, during the water pressure test of steam cylinders, as well as during locomotive assembly.
The look back behind the scenes of this famous locomotive forge is characterized by a good portion of the color of a bygone era.

Reichsbahnausbesserungswerke der DDR - Im Inneren der Bahnbetriebswerke

On the railways, repair shops (in German Ausbesserungswerke, abbreviated Aw) were used to maintain rail vehicles or their components. They specialized in major repairs, general inspections and the reconditioning of replacement parts. In addition, some repair shops also undertook the manufacture of switches, the construction of signal bridges, platform roofs and similar steel structures.

Lothar Weber describes the important role that the Aw of the German Reichsbahn of the GDR played in the maintenance and construction of new vehicles. This is of course only possible on the basis of the historical development, which the author succinctly describes in the introduction.

Reichsbahn-Report - Zwischen Ideologie und Wirklichkeit

During countless visits to archives over the past decades, Erich Preuss (1940-2014) was able to collect and evaluate extensive, previously unknown documents on the subject of the German Reichsbahn of the GDR. The wealth of material found resulted in two volumes of the "Reichsbahn Report".

The renowned railway expert Preuss used his extensive knowledge as a long-time employee of the DR for these works. He began his apprenticeship in the mid-1950s and worked his way up to become a senior employee of a Reichsbahn directorate by 1974.
