DR No. 01 0530-4, Ronshausen, 22nd January 1973
The line from Bebra in West Germany to the border with East Germany at Hönebach was about 13 Kilometres and most of it uphill to the tunnel. DR 01/5 4-6-2 No. 01 0530-4 is attacking the gradient in fine style with train D455, the 13:55 departure which it took as far as Erfurt, where the engines for this service were based. There is still a little snow on the ground as the eleven coach train pounds towards the village of Ronshausen on the afternoon of Monday 22nd January 1973. Slide No. 10688.
