History:
Located somewhere in a large forest lays this big train yard, which is full of historic locomotives. The trains here date all the way back to the second world war, back then these locomotives were built to serve the heavy loads of the war. It wasn't always war material though, a small selection of these models were also used to transport jews to the camps in the east. After this rather dark past they were used by the communist DDR regime of East Germany for regular transport. The last one of this model was decommissioned at the end 0f the 80s, this was quite unique due that this was one of the last steam locomotive still active in Europe.
After they were decommissioned they were bought by a preservation organization, today they are rustig away and slowly being swallowed by nature it self.
