[Germany]Rübelandbahn, the minor celebrity(12p)

[BR 110]

Hello,

today I present you some photos from the east-Harz. The railway Blankenburg-Königshütte(Rübelandbahn) is a steep track with sharp return in Michelstein. Because of the slope, the freight trains must drive "sandwich" (locomotive-waggons-locomotive). The passenger traffic ends for around 10years. The Rübelandbahn is electrified from the GDR gouvernment. The electrical traffic started in 1965.
