They magically attracted railway enthusiasts in the post-war decades - the small and private railways with small railway-like operations that still existed between the North Sea and Lake Constance. One man in particular rendered great services in researching their history: Gerd Wolff. After the thoroughbred railwayman, who was born in Wuppertal in 1935, has presented the individual railways as accurately as possible in the past decades together with many comrades-in-arms, he recalls in this book series exciting experiences as well as anecdotes of his small railway journeys that invite a smile.
Follow Gerd Wolff in this volume to more than 15 railways in the old Federal Republic. Learn about the background to his visits, photographs and research. Each chapter also contains countless facts about the small railway companies visited, which makes this book equally suitable for getting to know the narrow-gauge and standard-gauge railways described. The Eckernförder Kreisbahn in Schleswig-Holstein opens the book and is rounded off by railways in Baden-Württemberg. This volume is also illustrated with the largest possible photographs, on which the richness of detail of Gerd Wolff's photographs finally unfolds to the full!
