Ah, if only the DR and DDR were still around to run it, eh?

A re-nationalised Deutsche Bundesbahn would be fine thank you. Actually
the DR weren't so bad. Their rolling stock was old, but with what

today's operators.


They were running steam engines well into the 1970s, were they not.

Poland's PKP was doing same, I understand.
