A steam locomotive in the tracks at Alexanderplatz, 1937

From a high point above the tracks, a steam locomotive with a number plate on its smokebox moves off, white smoke and steam billowing over the rails, a shop sign visible on a building behind; its coal-heaped tender follows, and then a row of old compartment coaches with many doors rolls past below. Steam still hauled the trains on the Stadtbahn alongside the electric S-Bahn, which had run on it since 1928.
