The Siemensbahn has been withdrawn in 1980 after a major strike. It never reopened again. And today it offers Berlin´s last ghost stations...
This video has been filmed with a 780 nm infrared filter. This filter blocks almost all visible light and makes the usually invisible IR light visible for the human eye.
This is an excellent piece of work, capturing the atmosphere and eeriness of a long closed line superbly....Bob
This is an awesome video, thanks for making it! Are you allowed to walk around on the old tracks? I'd love to go have a look myself... Why haven't they been taken away? That's something I love about Germany: They leave a lot of the old tracks where they were. Even riding the S-bahn around Berlin, I noticed that there were a lot of parallel tracks with huge trees growing in the middle of them.
Great video, +1 & fav
A cold war story: Berlin S-Bahn in those days used to be operated by the East German Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR). Reduced salaries and the fireing of some of their western workers led to a strike of the West Berlin employees during September 1980. After the strike, DR closed half of the West Berlin lines and about 200 workers were fired. S-Bahn service in West Berlin was taken over by BVG, the western transit authorities, in January 1984, some of the lines were renovated and put back in service.

This is very cool! The City of Chicago (my hometown) is considering converting an abandoned Milwaukee Road line that runs along Bloomingdale Avenue into an elevated, "linear park" - a park / green space that will be a couple miles long. This ghost line looks like a candidate for this kind of urban repurposing. If you're interested, google "the Bloomingdale Trail" or "Bloomingdale and Western, Chicago" for a Google Earth view of the line.
Ganz großes Kino, danke!
which filter did u use for this video?anyway thanks for the post
It's better to keep the track intact, so it can be used by passenger and freight trains again, though building paths beside rail lines is ok.
Train spotter heaven
