Roni, does this mean that the Sudbahnhof is no more?

Hi, M.!

Yes, indeed, the last train with enthusiasts left last Saturday at 23:59...

Only part of the Eastern station still is in use, but they shortened the platforms at the terminal end which can't be accessed anymore via the main building. The underground Schnellbahn platforms keep operating as usual.

That's how it's going to look like (remove spaces from URL):

Thanks Roni!

I am glad that it was our locomotive (ex SŽ 33-227) honored to pull the last steam train out of this station... ;-)

Well, that's the steam workhorse for about everything around here during the past years... ;-)
