A nice, old steam engine in Castrop (Germany) !

 

A train arriving at Castrop-Rauxel station !


This picture shows us a train arriving at Castrop-Rauxel station (Germany) in the early 1950s. I wished more of these old, chugging trains had survived until today so that future generations will be able to enjoy this view. Most of them cannot reach the speed of today's trains, but for excursions they are wonderful.

The picture was taken by Hans H. Mueller who would like to receive messages from other miners from the former Victor/Ickern colliery in Castrop. Please be so kind to address Hans Mueller.
