Return to Berlin 1969.
Across an Imagined Border
In July 2002 a Berlin rail transportation veteran returns
to ride the main line of the Cold War from Berlin's city rails to Hannover.
This time, no "delay at Marienborn."
The Embracing Forest
Did you ever look out the window of a 200 km/h InterCity Express train
and wonder what it would be like to take the slower train and stop in...
Ludwigslust?
In March 2005, turning up the stories of "the last death" in the Cold
War,
the end of World War II for the 82nd Airborne, forgotten "heroes
of the Soviet Union"
and a tale of Napoleon's occupation,
all for the price of a ticket on the Deutsche Bahn.
Letter from Dr. Bauer
While NASA was putting the first men on the moon, German railroaders were doing something almost as difficult...
getting Allied military trains through heavy rail traffic.
Irish Smile
An Irish woman's smile at the Marienborn crossing.
on the night that men first walked on the moon.
Fourth of
July
On the Duty Trains and at Service Company, Special Troops, the holiday took on a new
aspect
when transportation clerks, cooks, interpreters and mechanics
were rounded up to fill out a force
stretched thin by
the Vietnam War.
23rd Hour, 23rd
Psalm
Famous (or infamous) since the turn of the last
century for its nightlife,
Berlin shows the edgy side
of its political situation -- combined with silent beauty
on a still summer night. Includes many transportation scenes.
A Berlin Soldier's Prayer
Written for today's soldiers.
More to come!
