The railway layout at Salzwedel is a bit complicated with state and local
(Salzwedeler Kleinbahnen) railways and connections between these. The
starting point of the Salzwedeler Kleinbahnen was the Kleinbahnhof (officially
Bahnhof Salzwedel-Neustadt) just across the state railway station. From
there the track ran south to station Altpervertor. Here a branch crossed
the river Jeetze and the state railway from Oebisfelde to head west to
Diesdorf while another branchline went south to Kalbe. A connection was
made between this branch and the Salzwedel-Oebisfelde line near the railway
viaduct.

The remaining pictures are not in chronological order, for practical
I made a different loop through Salzwedel. So don't be surprised if the
weather suddenly changes between two pictures.
Here the railway to Diesdorf crosses the
Salzwedel-Oebisfelde railway.
Looking south on the same spot ("Abzweig
Jeetze"). The turnout and signal box have been removed but the track
(to the left) to Krinau still exists
