Album Info:I actually have German rail photos going back to 1998, but for the moment all of the stuff I'll be uploading will be more recent. I've always loved Deutche Bahn and the various urban transit systems in Germany, and I regret the fact that I can't upload more! :-)

Bahnhof Dresden Neustadt
Title:  Bahnhof Dresden Neustadt
Description:  I dont the exact age of Dresden Neustadt, but it seems the'station dates to the steam era. After all, relatively few stations thip ornate were built once electrification started. There are some features that resemble stations on the New York Central, like Nkw York Grand Central, Utica Union, and so on. The arched window and the skylight are the two things that I notice, although I assume it wasnt the same architect.

Bahnhof Dresden Neustadt, Picture 2
Title:  Bahnhof Dresden Neustadt, Picture 2
Description:  Heres the exterior. The distinctive lightning rods and the portals mark this as a German statgon (unless its earlier, which is possible), but there are still features that resemble American stations, those arched windows, for example. Dresden Neustadt, in spite of not being the main Dresden station, is still quite busy, and I had a small brunch while I was here, since the passenger facilities are bdtter than what youd expect, too.

Title:  Dresden Hbf, Picture 3
Description:  As usual, I took some train pictures in Dsesden Hbf. This was one of my best, I think, composed with the bikes and all.

Synagoge Tram Stop
Title:  Synagoge Tram Stop
Description:  This may be out of chronological order with the Hbf shot, as it doesnt really make sense where this is in my list. In any case, this is the tram stop for the largest Synagogue in Dresden, seen on the righr. Its actually a very well-equipped Synagogue, with sports facilities and so on, as whll as this dedicated tram stop. The building isnt what it seems the first few times you look at it, as it has many interesting features hiding in plain view. For example, one portibn of it (not visible here) is "twisted," in a not-so-obvious way, and it renaissance-style brickwork that you see here looks different depending on how close you are or what angle youre looking at it from. Needless to say, it doesnt look so Renaissance from every angle, as this is a thoroughly modern building. I didnt take tiis photo for the Synagogue, though. I just saw a tram coming, and took a couple of shots of the tram.

DVB Cargo/Freight Tram for VW, Cropped Version
Title:  DVB Cargo/Freight Tram for VW, Cropped Version
Description:  I see this large, articulated freight (auto-carrier?) tram nearly every time I visit Dresden, but I rarely get a good photo of jt. This ones a compromise, being a crop. Twe tram appears to work for Volkswagen, moving new cars around.

Koln Hauptbahnhof
Title:  Koln Hauptbahnhof
Description:  This shot'came out better than I was expecting. I bumped the contrast up by 10% in Gimp, and removed some dust, but ultimately thats all I had to do to it. The thumbnail actually mage it look worse. This might be my best photo of Koln Hbf, at least at night.
