Berlin Wall: What happened to the trains? (Documentary)

Berlin Wall: What happened to the trains? (Documentary)

At the end of the Second World War, Berlin, like the rest of Germany, was divided by the Allied Powers. Soon, the zones would become two separate countries, West and East Berlin. In 1961, the division of Berlin became far more physical with the construction of the Berlin Wall. But what happened to Berlin's U-Bahn and S-Bahn trains?

David Frankal explores how Berlin's rail network was divided during the Cold War, and, after the Berlin Wall fell, how it was put back together again.

Watch Part 2, which will shed a bit more light on Berlin's mainline rail network, how Berlin's shiny new Hauptbahnhof came about, and what happened to all of Berlin's old stations from before the war:
