Train & Railroad Photos Request

[John Bart]

Hi All,
Would love to see period photos of German Trains & Railroads.
Those of you that have them, would greatly appreciate if you could post
them.
Thanks!

Despite of the huge number of railway enthusiasts out there, I wondered why there are few railway related photographs posted here.

I searched "railway" on the forum and found this old thread without replies. Too late for John, but hope this thread will start rolling on the rail.

Since it is not practical (for the time being maybe?) to create a separate thread for a captured/destroyed train related photograph, these photos will do readers favor too I believe.

Suitable for a dust jacket of a book.

Pics of German Railroad Eagles - In use?

I have a nice railroad eagle...always heard/told they were attached to railway engines or cars. I have never seen a piture of one in use. I bought the new German National Railway book by Piekalkiewicz...full of pictures. Thought for ysure I'd see a picture of one in use.

Nope.

So, the question begs itself...does anyone have pictures of these things in use? Period pic...

Search "Reichsbahn" on the Civil/Police uniforms forum--there are a lot of pics of DRB men/women, some of which include trains/engines.

Trains

Thanks for bringing this thread back to life Akira. I too am surprised there are not more postings about the German trains. With all the Railroad Eagles you see for sale on the market, I for one would love to see more pictures of trains with the eagles on them. Armored trains would be great to see as well.

Unfortunately all I have are these examples from an Eisenbahngeschutz album in my collection.

Dave, your first picture is... A W E S O M E ! I love it!

Here is a picture of Bessarabian-german returning "homeland" from USSR-occupied Bessarabia. Train is not the central motif here, but still this picture shows what travelling meant back then! (*NOTE* the swaz is reversed because it was meant to be seen from the other side! The photo is in correct orientation)
