The photograph shows steam locomotive 01 071 of the German Reichsbahn in a frontal view on one of the approach tracks of Leipzig Central Station. In the background, the distinctive iron arch construction of the platform hall is visible, which characterizes Leipzig Central Station as one of Europe’s largest terminal stations. Signal masts and track systems frame the scene and convey the operational routine of a major railway hub. In the 1937 travel film, this shot serves as a transition between the visited cities and illustrates railway travel as a central means of transportation for the Germany journey. The locomotive of the Class 01 series, the Reichsbahn’s flagship express train locomotive of that era, stands as representative of the modern transportation infrastructure of the time.
