Wustermark, Priort, Potsdam-Pirschheide, Saarmund

On my second day in Berlin, I'm taking almost same route back to BER airport
Angela Merkel is now in a theater play
I'm taking the classic S-Bahn from Bellevue to Spandau


The regional and long-distance line on the Stadtbahn will soon close for longer renovation period

The trip to the Berlin outer Ring railway goes through Wustermark
Due to the closed Berlin-Hamburg railway, trains are diverted through other railways
Lehrter Bahn from Berlin to Stendal has a single track, so the freight train must wait here before continuing


RE4 is arriving to Wustermark

At Priort I can spot more trains

Finally, I can spot an old Tatra tram
The tram line here was built in 1958 at the same time as this station was named Potsdam Hauptbahnhof. All long-distance and regional trains stopped here instead of central Potsdam until 1990

These Tatra KT4DM trams were used in Romania, in the city of Cluj-Napoca, before they were returned to Potsdam

The difference between Class 249 and 248 is the power output, maximum speed, weight, and intended shunting capability. Class 248 is the light version of Class 249
