They were running steam engines well into the 1970s, were they not.
Yes, but that was true in West Germany. East Germany used steam
traction into the 1980s on goods trains.
Didn't know that. Where else in Europe, either East or West, were they
running steam in revenue service until the 80s?
When did BR cease operating the VoR?
