Steam Locomotives I: The German Railway 1835-1919 (Widescreen)

The history of the German railway system is not only the history of a means of transportation that radically changed and accelerated traffic in 19th-century Germany - it is also a point of departure for an industrialized society. On December 7, 1835, the steam age began with the legendary steam-powered Adler ("Eagle"), going from Nuremberg to Fuerth. "Steam Locomotives I" highlights from 1835 until the end of World War I and features historical documents as well as photos. Also, in an entertaining short movie, the founders of the very first German railway remember the Adler's history.
