Intro
The diorama is based on a coal merchant on a quiet corner of the former Oberschöneweide industrial railway in Berlin,
The line began at the Niederschöneweide marshalling yard and served the industrial plants of Oberschöneweide, later, it was extended to the Rummelsburg marshalling yard.
By 1957, the railway was approximately 13 kilometers long and served 30 factory sidings, at its maximum capacity, the railway network had over 50 branch lines and connections.
In 1990, the line was transferred to VEB Binnenhafen, which discontinued electric operations on the line in 1995, the line was finally closed in 1996. In the following years, the track was largely dismantled or built over as part of road construction. However, remnants such as tracks on separate ballast or overhead power lines can still be seen in some places.
The ‘quiet corner’ is a domestic coal yard just off Nalepastraße and Tabbertstrasse in Treptow.
