Im digitalizing the Railroad lines of the German Democratic Republic + West Berlin as they listed in the 1987/88 Timetable book.
I might add busses and trams of some GDR Cities aswell at some point in the future.
Here is a quick Overview of the difierent train classes and their meanings :
- InterExpreß (IEx) — Literal Translation: Inter-Express
These were premium, high-priority international express trains connecting East Germany with other Soviet bloc nations.
- Städte-expreß (Ex) — Literal Translation: City Express
These were first-class, high-priority express trains designed primarily to connect regional East German capitals with East Berlin.
- Schnellzug (D) — Literal Translation: Fast Train
These were traditional long-distance express trains that stopped only at major stations and cities.
- Eilzug (E) — Literal Translation: Semi-Fast Train / Hurry Train
These trains acted as a bridge between long-distance and local travel, skipping smaller halts but stopping more frequently than a Schnellzug.
----LOCAL SERVICES-----
- Personenzug (P) — Literal Translation: Passenger TrainThese were standard local or regional trains that stopped at every station along their route.
- Stadtverkehr (S) — Literal Translation: City Traffic / City Transport
This refers to localized urban rapid transit or suburban commuter train networks (commonly known as the S-Bahn).
Untergrundbahn (U) — Literal Translation: Underground Railway
This refers to the conventional metro or subterranean subway network operating inside major municipal areas.
