Letzter Dienst des aktiven Dampflokführers der Reichsbahn

He was one of the last active steam locomotive drivers of the Dresden State Railway, Hansjürgen Guder. But first, let's look at the modernization of locomotive 52. Part 1: High-Tech Steam Locomotive: 52 8055 NG NG stands for "new generation." The locomotive is intended for the Orient Express. It has been modernized and is powered by extra-light fuel oil. Part 2: He was one of the last active steam locomotive drivers of the Dresden State Railway, Hansjürgen Guder. At home on all types of locomotives, but most of all on steam engines. And he completed his last shift in style. On the heritage locomotive 03 001 from Dresden to Berlin, in regular service. As scheduled, the steam train departed Dresden Central Station at 8:42 a.m. on March 13, 1999, to reach the capital just over two hours later. It was exactly the 1,050th steam train journey for locomotive driver Hansjürgen Guder, nicknamed Johann by his colleagues. A reason for "Eisenbahn-Romantik" (Railway Romance) to document Johann's last shift. This episode, number 332, was first broadcast on May 2, 1999.
