I saw many foxes but this is the first one
to stand still and pose for the camera |
Approaching Beetzendorf |
Railroads in Beetzendorf; the state railway
Salzwedel - Oebisfelde and the Altmärkische Kleinbahn railways from
Kalbe to Diesdorf and further. |
Klötze is building a model of the Kleinbahn part of this station
in scale TT, see Klötzes
Modellbauseiten |
View to the south. The track to Kalbe (closed
1995) bent away to left but has been removed, only the track to Oebisfelde
is still here. |
The Altmärkische Kleinbahn station
building |
Small excursion to an interesting looking
building |
The street side of the station building looks reasonably well maintained.
There is a monument of four pillars representing the four directions a traveler
once could go by train from this station. On the pillars are written the
main stations, length and opening and closing date of the track. |
The track side of the station building looks
less healthy. |
Only one track remains in the rail yard
of Beetzendorf. Actually, Beetzendorf was for a period completely trackless.
When they cleared all redundant tracks they were a bit to rigorous and removed
the through going track as well by accident. This was later rebuild. |
Not everything was removed, this remainder
of the track to Diesdorf was left behind. |
Signal box at the north end of the yard |
There are no turnouts to operate any more
but it looks like the signal box is still fully equipped. |
