This was steam on the Deutsche Bundesbahn - Part 2

These unique film rarities from Ton Pruissen’s archive take us on a journey to the North German Hanseatic cities of Hamburg and Bremen. 

Beginning in 1956(!) with a trip on the Holland-Scandinavia Express, this film shows the Hamburg elevated railway, the S-Bahn network, the push-pull trains hauled by class 78 4-6-4 tanks from Bergedorf to Aumühle and Büchen, the Hamburg-Altona depot and station, as well as the main stations in Hamburg and Bremen.

The film footage spans the 1960s through to 1971. Ton Pruissen has scanned, edited and digitally restored the historical film material using state-of-the-art technology.
