The November 2023-released volume in the long-running Eisenbahn Kurier series of publications taking a nostalgic look at the railways of Germany 25 years earlier. This volume examines the railways of the former East Germany in 1998, covering broadly the area operated by Deutsche Reichsbahn immediately prior to German re-unification.
The volume describes and illustrates key events that took place during the year and general changes to both passenger and freight traffic. It features intercity and urban railways, as well as taking a look at locomotive and rolling stock developments during the year.
EK Themen 65: DB vor 25 Jahren – 1998: Ausgabe Ost examines all of these topics and uses high quality illustrations throughout. A list of all locomotives and multiple units that were new or withdrawn from stock during 1997 is included, as well as a full list of all locos in service during the year with depot allocations.
