Default WW2 German trains still in everyday service

This is amazing. A testament to old skool German engineering.

Funny but steam engines aren't designed to run for 8 decades. We have a few oldies still running but I don't think any of them are in regular service.

It's amazing how much smoke those old coal burners produce.

Prior to watching the footage my guess would have been located in Poland.

Back in the early nineties whilst living and working in Holland a small group of us would drive across Germany during a week off work and enter Poland....it always felt like taking a journey back in time.
