After a recent visit to Germany I thought I would post this shot of Alexanderplatz in what was East Berlin in 1972. My railway interest was at a low ebb & I couldn't be bothered to walk over to the station to get a decent shot of the Pacifics still steam-hauling trains in the eastern zone. The Fernsehturm is on the extreme right & the tower in the distance is the Rathaus making the train an arrival at Berlin Alexanderplatz station (to the right behind the high rise). HFF & have a great weekend.

This is not just a shot of random railings in Alexanderplatz, Berlin but my "other" railway photograph taken in Germany in 1972 - I only took two in the three months I was there! Times have changed... My railway interest was at a low ebb & I couldn't even be bothered to walk over to the station to get a decent shot of the Pacifics still steam-hauling trains in the eastern zone although I probably thought I might get arrested if I did. I contented myself with a snatched shot of a train arriving. Lots of interesting cars in the parking though! HFF and keep safe in this second wave of Covid.
