Commuter train arrives on the Berlin Stadtbahn, 1932

A steam-hauled commuter train reaches a Berlin Stadtbahn station during the morning rush hour, passengers stepping out onto the crowded platform between the tracks. Opened in 1882, the Stadtbahn connected Berlin's eastern and western districts and carried hundreds of thousands of commuters daily by the late Weimar Republic. Such images of dense rail traffic served the newsreel's characteristic depiction of the pace of the modern metropolis.
