I. Internatipnal Relatipns
1. Transport Conferee.ces, Meetings.
From 14 to 16 June 1963, a conference was held in Prague
by delegates of state airlines from seven Socialist countries',
including Aeroflot (USSR), Tabso (Bulgaria), CSA (Czecho-
slovakia), Deutsche Lufthansa East (Soviet Zone of Occupat-
ion of Germany), Lot (Poland), Tarom (Rumania), and Maley
(Hungary), on the coordination of the timetables for the
winter 1963/64 period.
2. Transport A.ctAQt9Q.xnts.
The following was learned on the common freight car pool of
the COMECON member railroads (See Tpt Summary for February
1963):
a) To begin with, only the European satellites with standard-
gauge RR systems, i.e. Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland,
Rumania, Soviet Zone of Occupation of Germany, and
Hungary will be members.
b) The association will become effective on .1 January 1964.
c) The initial stock of the common freight car pool will
consist of about 100,000 cars.
d) The headquarters of the association will be located in
Prague.
Further details on the association were to be stipulated on
the meeting of the Standing Transport Commission of COMECON,
in June/July 1963.
3. Bilateral Transport Relations
a) R. Tyshkov, Manager of Soviet Railroad Division Kazan',
was employed as technical adviser in Cuba, for a year,
where he took part in the planning of modernization
projects for the Cuban RR system. In June 1962, he was
joined by another four employees of the Soviet locomotive
and RR car service who were to instruct the Cuban RR
personnel for 4 1/2 months in the repair of electric,
diesels and steam locomotives, and rail buses, and
particularly in the production of replacement parts
necessary for repair work. The employment of these
specialists is connected with the training of Cuban
railroad personnel at the College for Railroad Engineer-
ing in Voronesh (USSR), reported in late 1962, and with
the execution of a Soviet/Cuban contract on Soviet aid in
the development of transportation on the island (See Tpt
Summary for November 1962)..
b) Sweden and Poland continue to negotiate a new Baltic Sea
ferry connection from Ystad to SwinemUnde (Swinoujscie).
The following has been learned of the project:

(a) The ferry is to be put in operation in mid-1963.
(b) The carrying capacity of the ferry will be 1,200
passengers and 150 motor vehicles.
(c) The shipping company will be A/S Bornholmsfaergen
AP.
(d) The time of passage will be about six hours.
Poland, striving for transport connections with
Scandinavia, took the initiative in this project by
referring to the favorable transport connections by
road via the 150 kilometer superhighway from Stettin
(Szczecin) to Berlin and by rail to Central Germany,
Czechoslovakia, Austria and the Balcan countries.
c) In mid-June 1963, negotiations came to an end between
the Austrian " onau-Dampf-Schiffahrtsgosellschaft -
DSSG" (Danube Steamboat Shipping Company) Viennaland
the Soviet "Soyusvneshtrans" shipping agency, Moscow,
on freight transportation from Austria to Iran. The
utilization of the planned combined Danube River, sea,
and rail route would bring about considerable advantages
in freight transportation between Austria and the Near
East.

Western Countries.
In early June 1963, on occasion of the Soviet Zone "Day
of the German Railroad Worker" (9 June), the Soviet Zone
transport representations in Copenhagen (No 84 Vesterbor-
gade), Stockholm (No 30 Kungsgatan) and Vienna (No 4
Brandstatte) held receptions for the representatives of
the respective railroad directorates of these cities, for
other transport representations and travel agencies, and
for representatives of the remaining modes of transport
and the economic sector.

a) The average weight of a train on the dieselized
Mironovka - Shepetovka stretch of the Dnyepropetrovsk -
Lvov line (The line is being electrified at present
from Mironovka in westerly direction via Fastov) is
2,643 tons; the daily running performance of a diesel
locomotive amounts to 740 kilometers (Norm - 705 km);
the average daily transport performance of a locomotive
has increased to 1,782,000 t/km.
b) Within the area of RR Subdivision Tyumen (RR Division
Sverdlovsk), steam locomotives are employed for
switching only. Otherwise, traction is being performed
by diesel locomotives. The tonnage of freight trains
could thus be increased considerably, while the line

clearance capacity was increased through the installation
of semi-automatic block installations and through the
extension of trackage of RR stations.
2, RR Signals and Telecommunication .
0:According to a report of V.Sokolov, head of the Radio Depart-
ment of the Main Administration Signals and Telecommunicatr ?
ions ,radio traffic has been introduced in the following
railroad installations of the Soviet State railroads:
On main lines (Magistrale radio traffic);
- Within railroad divisions;
- On individual RR stations (RR station radio)
- Between the chief signal man and .the locomotive engineer
(train radio), in particular on lines with heavy freight
traffic and equipped with dispatcher interlocking plants.
By late 1965, train radio is to be employed on about 30,000
line kilometers (23.4 per cent of the total RR system).
Also by late 1965, all RR stations are to be equipped with
radio installations; so far radio installations have been
available to RR stations with three or more switch locomot
ives.
The construction of a radio system for the control of
switch locomotives, employed on the incline for train
sorting, is nearing completion. Furthermore, a radio device
Type ShR-3M is being developed for electric locomotives.
The device is to warn the locomotive engineer by a special
signal of a threatening danger on the open line.
b) The construction of a dispatcher interlocking plant was
begun on the Darnica - Grebenka stretch of the Kiev -
Poltava - Lotsovaya line. The line will also be equipped
with automatic block and signal installations with train
stopping devices, and with automatic gates and electric
centralized traffic control on RR stations. Train radio
is also to be introduced. Through these modernization
measures, which are to be completed within two to three
years on the total 500 kilometer (Kiev-) Darnica - Poltava
Lotsovaya line, the clearance capacity of the line will be
increased by more than 50 per cent and the speed will almost
be doL41ed. The line is particularly important for freight
traffic between the Donets Basin and the Carpathian Mts.
3. Railroad Network (Construction/Rebuilds)-
a) A t present, a 40 kilometer long track is under construction
from Maykan RR Station .(on Pavlodar - Ekibastus stretch of
South Siberian Magistrale) in southerly direction to
Keregetad in the Bayan=Aula. Mts. The new line is predominantly
to serve the transportation of nephelite-containing lime-
stone to the aluminum' plant under construction in Pavlodar.
b) The construction of the Karaganda. - Karagayly (ore mine) line,
suspended during the winter, was resumed in the spring and
rails were laid as far as Kilometer Marker 102. During the
same period, the construction of a bridge was started over
the Nura River (See Tpt Summary for April 1963).

c) The Pentsa - Rhtishteshevo stretch, planned to be put
in electric operation still in 1964, is presently being
generally overhauled.. The repairs are to be completed
by 15 July 1964 because of the impending electrification.
Other capital repairs (general overhauls) are presently
being carried out on the following stretches:
- Smolensk - Rudnya (on Smolensk - Vitebsk line);
- Yasinovataya - Xrinichnaya (Donets Basin);
- Mineral:nye Vody Kislovodsk (Southern branch line
from Mineral'nye Vody);
- Celinograd - Ak.kull (on Celinograd - Petropavlovsk
line).
About 270 meters of track are being laid per hour in one
capital repair period as compared to about 150 m/hour in
West Germany.
4: A reserve of approximately 200 - 300 freight cars is contin-
uously kept available for the sped-up unloading of ships
arriving at the Riga, Leningrad, Odessa, Novorosisk and
Nakhodka sea ports. A total of 40 - 52 per cent of all
freight transported by sea is being transshipped in these
ports.
III. Scviet Zone p1 Occupation of Germany
1..Intquppal..Transport and Berlin Traffic Situation
a) Interzonal Traffic
As in the preceding year, the summer 1963 timetable
provides for the service of eight bus lines in inter-
zonal traffic between West Berlin and West Germany
including:
- One line via Lauenburg/Horst?Highway No 5.- Staaken/
Heerstrasse;
? - Six lines via Helmstedt/Marienborn - Superhighway
Neubabelsberg/Dreilinden;
- One line via TOpen/Juchhoh - Superhighway -
Neubabelsberg/Dreilinden.
In addition, one branch line operates between Hamburg
and Helmstedt. (For details, see Annex 1). The annex
replaces Para II "Crossing Points in Interzonal Traffic
(Road)flof the annex to Tpt Summary for January 1963)..
b) Berlin Traffic Situation
(1) For details on the Waltersdorfer Chaussee crossing
point, opened on 15 June 1963, on the West Berlin/
Soviet Zone border, see Annex 1..
The opening of this crossing point by the Soviet
Zone authorities was motivated by the establishment
of the alleged optional air route of the "Interflug"
branch company of the Deutsche Lufthansa (East)
between "Central Air Port Berlin.SchOnefeld" and
Vienna. on 15 June 1963.. (See Tpt Summary for May
1963),
According to a statement of the Austrian Government,
the use of this optional air route has been limited
to 31 July 1963. Since the outcome of Austrian
efforts for the establishment of one air route each
from Vienna to Berlin.Tempelhof (outside the Soviet
Zone air cstekni to Soviet Zone "Berlin=

Schonefeld Central Air Port" is still pending, it is
possible that the already light traffic across
Waltersdorfer Chaussee crossing point will cease
completely after 31 July. (See Tpt Summary for
January 1963).
(2) In late May 1963, the new customs station, under
construction since 1962, was put into operation at
Wustermark switchyard. Freight trains in traffic
between West Berlin and the Soviet Zone have to go
through the customs (AZKW) here. A _special single-
track line was put in service simultaneously for
trains running between Wustermark Switchyard and
Berlin.Staaken (Soviet Zone) and across the West
Berlin/Soviet Zone border to Berlin.Spandau. Parallel
to this line, S-Balm traffic between Wustermark and
Berlin.Staaken uses the single-track line (105-k),
disrupted at the West Berlin border. S-Balm Station
Staaken on West Berlin territory is connected by
(electrified) S-Bahn Line 100-a with the West Berlin
railroad system.
2. Railroad_Tragapert
a) Operations and Traffic
(1) The gradual easing of the operational situation was
not impeded by exceptional requirements in June
1963. Likewise, the coal situation continued to
recover.
(2) (a) Soviet Army military requirements of the Reichs-
bahn were characterized by troop transports
moving to unit exercises at training areas and
to artillery, engineer and antiaircraft training
at firing ranges and water training sites.
(b) No special features were observed in military
border crossing.
On 26 May 1963, qiagenladungsknotenverkehr" (conso17-
idated loading and unloading stations for complete
car load traffic) were introduced on the Frankfurt/
Oder - Grunow - Beeskow - Konigswusterhausen line.
Transloading of freight on the former 15 loading and
unloading stations was reduced to four stations
through these measures. Through the gradual extension
of this system, the former 113 freight rate stations
of Frankfurt/Oder subdivision arc to be reduced to
23 consolidated loading and unloading stations for
complete car load traffic.
For list of Reichsbahn switchyards with a daily
capacity of 500 cars and more, see Annex 2 with .

b) Improvement and/or Closing of Railroad Lines
(l) For long-term Reichsbahn electrification projects
and their military significance, see Annex 4 with
sketch.
(2) On 26 May 1963, double-track oReration was opened
on the Oranienburg-Lowenberg ( ark) stretch of
Line 121 (Berlin-Neustrelitz) under double-track
construction for years. ?
The Kbthen - Bernburg stretch of Line 203 is being
double-tracked.
There are now four (previously two) construction
trains, Nos 101, 102, 103, and 104, available to
Railroad Division Berlin. Of the major construct-
ion trains, only No 1201 has been observed for some
time. It can therefore safely be assumed that the
remaining Nos 1202 through 04 were disbanded during
the past years.
(5) Effective 26 May 1963, also freight traffic was
discontinued on the narrow-gauge Lobar& - Gommern
line, after passenger traffic was discontinued on
this former Line 207-s in' May 1960. The line is now
being dismantled.
3, Road Tranusrtation
a) Motor. Vehicle Transilort.
(1) VEB Sachsenring, Zwickau, produced the following
numbers of passenger cars Type Trabant:
In 1955 7,820
" 1961 39,330
" 1962 45,300.
A total of 3,500 of these cars were exported to
Hungary in 1962. In 1963, production and export
of these cars is to be increased. (See Tpt Summary
for March 1963).
(2) In 1962, VEB Automobilwerk Eisenach exported over
3,200 passenger cars Type Wartburg to Hungary.
Exporting of this type of passenger car is also to
be increased.
(3) Beginning with the summer timetable (26 May), VEB
Kraftverkehr Halle/Saale, opened the following bus
line traffic:
(a) Wallwitz (Saalkreis) (QC 0318) - Wettin (Seale)
(PC 9519);
(b) LObejtin (Saalkreis) (QC 0024) - Rothenburg
(Seale) (PC 9125) - Konnern (PC 9228);
(c) Halle (Saale) - Bad Frankenhausen (PB 4691), on
Sundays, as far as Stolberg (Harz Mts)(PC 3615).

The introduction of bus transport under (a) and (b) is
connected with the discontinuation of passenger traffic
on the following railroad lines since 26 May 1963:
- Wallwitz (Saalkreis) - Wettin (Saale) (Line 204-g);
- KOnnern Rothenburg (Saale) (Line 204-11)3
- Lebejlin (Saalkreis) - Gerlebogk (Line 204-b).
b) Road Construction
(l)Road and bridge construction, discontinued from December
1962 to March 19639 has been resumed completely.
Particularly bridges are being reinforced and bottlenecks-
eliminated in order to increase the capacity of classi- ?
fied roads.
(a) Important bridge building is under way on the following
highways:
F1/184 - Construction of a river bridge (PC 8104

(b) Improvement of the following highways has been
completed or begun:
F-104.- The bridge (PE 6060 4712) under construction
over the Werder Canal in Schwerin since 1961,
was completed in the spring of 1963. The
bridge is about 30 meters long and about
eight meters wide. Simultaneously, the
highway was straightened from PE 604 470 to
PE 607 473.
The 12.3 kilometer stretch between Cblpin
(UV 9631) and Pragsdorf (UV 9333) is closed
from April to mid-September 1963 because of
road repairs.
Widening of the Pasewalk Prenzlau stretch
was started in the spring of 1963. The 22.9
kilometer Malchow (VV 2819) - BLindow (VV
2613) stretch was closed to traffic effective
April 1963 and is to be opened to traffic by
the end of 1963. The Prenzlau - Zerpen-
schleuse (VU 0157) -stretch, closed since late
1960, has not been opened as yet.
(2) The following road work was noted in connection with
military installations:
- Area of Gross Diann Airport (Neubrandenburg District,
Kreis Templin).
In 1962, the widening and renovation of the road
surface began on the L II 0 (secondary road) branching
off from Highway F-109 to Vietmannsdorf (VU 0279) via
Dargersdorf (VU 0380). In line with these works, two
bridges were replaced by new structures north of
Vietmannsdorf near VU 015 797 across the Hammer-Fliess

'Darss" (peninsula), of the road leading over the
"Fischland" (tongue of land connecting the Darss in
the west) and of the stretch of former Highway F-195
from Barth (UA 5227) to Zingst (UA 5034). The
reconditioning 'of the roads is to facilitate military
traffic as well as holiday traffic.
After the repairs had been initiated,very slowly., the
Ahrenshoop (UA 3329) - Born (UA 4029) stretch was
completed in mid-1959. By June 1963, the following
stretches, including thrufares, were widened to
approximately six meters, partly also to nine meters,.
and/or are still under repair:
- Ribnitz=Damgarton (UA 3314) - Wustrow (UA 3125),
grey paving stones.
Wustrow - Prerow (UA 4235), about nine meters wide,
concrete surface.
Barth - Zingst - Prerow, under construction (See
Tpt Summary for May 1963); closed to traffic from
June to 31 July 1963; the road receives an approxim-
ately nine meter wide concrete surface.
- Prerow - Darsser Ort (UA 3939), Asphalt surface.
Road stretches along the coast were partly secured by
a 3.80 meter high embankment.
After an approximately 18-month construction period,
Darsser Ort Harbor was completed in late 1962, and the
northern part of the Darss was separated by a fence
extending from about UA 399 383 to UA 380 392. The
following roads are under construction in this restrict-
ed area:
- Road from Darsser Ort Light-House to approximatelY
UA 382 399;
- Road from UA 391 385 to UA 392 388;
- Road from UA 392388 to UA 394 386.
Points 394 386 and 392 388 are to be connected by a
bend.
- Soviet Army AA Firing Rang.e Wustrow
MiTock District, Kreis:Bad Doberan)
In the fall of 1962, a new, about nine meter wide
concrete road was completed north-east of Neubukow
(PE /590). The road branches off from L I 0 (primary
road) Neubukow - Zweedorf (PE 7595) at PE 746 920,
bypasses Malpendorf (PE 7591) in the south-east,
continues as far as about PE 758 913, bifurcates here;
both stretches then cross Highway F-105 and end in
either side of the new loading ramp north-east of
Neubukow (PE 761 910).. A bridge was built on this
road over the Hellbach brook at about PE 758 915. It
is also planned to extend the road from PE 746 920 to
Rerik (PE 7198)..

along the demarcation line in the Kreise of District
Erfurt, are compiled in Annex 5. (See also Tpt
Summaries for February 1963, Para III, 4d); and for
April 1963, Annex 7, forwarded with Tpt ,Summary for
May 1963). Lists of the remaining Soviet Zone
districts along the demarcation line will be forwarded
in the next transportation summaries.
4. Inland Shtpping
a) The continued attempts of VEB Inland Shipping, since 1959,
to get the approximately 600 private shipowners under
control through charter or long-term lease agreements
(Uberlassungsvertrag) have been rather unsuccessful. Up
? .to now, only 24 private shipowners have signed a charter
agreoment and 88 shipowners a long-term lease agreement.
Private shipowners with long-term lease contracts ful-
filled the planned 1962 .transportation performances (ton/
? kilometers) by 81.1 per cent only 'and the planned freight
transportation volume by 88.3. per ceht.
b) After the new passenger ship Ernst Thalmann has been put
into.service, the number of vessels available to the
"Weisse Flotte " (White Fleet), Dresden, is 20 steam and
motorboats. The East Berlin "Weisse Flotte" controls 78
vessels.
c) In June 1963, the Elbe River was in low water so that
? shipping on the Elbe River and interzonal shipping were
? impeded considerably. Part of the ships running in inter-
zonal traffic had to return for 1 ghtening despite having
passed the RUhen control point.

IV Czechoslovakia
1. Railroad Transiort
a) Operations
By late May 1963, freight .transportation arrears of the
Czechoslovak State Railroads (CSD) amounted to approxim-
ately 12 million tons. In early June 1963, the Central
Committee of the Czechoslovak Communist Party (UV-KSC)
therefore took up the matter of improving the operational
situation of the railroads in order to remove the growing
transportation difficulties. The resolutions taken
included the following points:
(1) Full advantage must be taken of the summer period
for supplying the RR installations with coal and
raw material..
? (2) Loading and unloading is to be accelerated and also
to be carried out on sundays and holidays, in -order
to reduce the turnaround time of freight cars.
? (3) Dead head runs and all superfluous shipments are to
be avoided or discontinued.
(4) Locomotive and RR car repairs are to be reduced in
production plants, and work in repair shops (locomot-
? iveand car depots) is to be performed in more than
one shift a day.
(5) Fulfillment of the plans for track repair and for the
supply of rolling stock is to be secured.
(6) Transport capacity of State-owned and plant-owned
motor vehicles and of inland shipping is to be
exploited completely to support the railroads.
(7) Vacancies in the operating service (at present short
of about 3,400 personnel) are eventually to be filled
by surplus personnel from other enterprises. Work
morale is to be stabilized.
Tho CSD has been striving for 'a long time to meet the
above-mentioned requirements. It is hardly to be expected
that the transport situation will'be rapidly and radically
improved through these measures, unless other gaps will be
opened.
b) Line Construction
(1) Soviet Zone Reichsbahn personnel is presently testing
RR cars with gauge-changing wheel .sets on the closed
Pecky - Velim - Podebrade (Czechoslovakia) test line,
available to all satellite countries. It can there-
fore be inferred that broad-gauge stretches with a
gauge-converting rail assembly have been installed

on this closed line.
(2) In connection with the opening up of new open-pit
mining south-west of Komotau (Chomutov), the Brunners-
dorf (Prunerov) (UR 779852) - Priesen (Brezno u ?
Chomutova) (UR 875841) line was partly dismantled;
a connection to Heating Plant TuchmitE (Tusimice),
located on this line, is still available via Priesen.
In line with the 1963 track renovation plans, a total
of 200 kilometers of rails are being replaced by, .
seamless rails on the Novo Zamky - Lundenburg (Breclav)
line.
(3)
c) Electrification
In line with the electrification of the 43 kilometer
Aussig (Usti n.L.) - BrUx (Most) line, poles for the over-
head line have been erected as far as BrUx railroad
station, while wire contact has been braced as far as
Dux (Duchov).
The electrification of the Ullersdorf (Oldrichov) Louka
BrUx line is also in full swing. The construction of the
Ullersdorf transformer station (for 3,000 Volt d.c.) is
nearing completion. The whole line is to be put in
electric operation in the fall of 1963. (See Tpt Summary
for February 1963).
d) Rolling Stock
(1) At the Tatra RR Car Factory in Poprad, prototypes of
'the class ?Var" car (four-axle, self-discharging) are
being produced at present; the car is to go into
series production in the second half of 1963. The
car is usable as rotary dump car and is to carry coal
and ore to Ostrau and to the East-Slovak iron works.
The car is changeable from standard gauge to broad
gauge and is to be tested in the USSR. It has been
designed in such a way that its present conventional
coupling can be replaced. by central buffer coupling
at any time. Its specifications are: Empty weight -
19.9 tons; load capacity - 58 tons; volume - 58 cubic
meters; length - 11.04 meters; air pressure brake -
Dako.
(2) The Tatra RR car factory at Studenka has produced the
first 20-axle special car for the transportation of
transformers, power plant turbines, etc. The car has
four five-axle chassis in two separated parts. Its
empty weight is 135 tons; its load capacity - 240 tons;
its length, unloaded, - 34 meters; and its length,
loaded, - 41 meters. Together with the locomotive and
a crew car, the special car forms one train unit. It
is available to the member countries of COMECON. ?

(3) In 1962, the following numbers of rolling stock was
produced by the Czechoslovak factories:
Diesel locomotives 144, including railcars
Electric If 189
Freight cars, all types 4,602
Passenger pars 364.

2. _InlandjhipsIag.
a) Elbe-Oder River Shipping (CSPLO) transports approximately
4,500 tons of coal, daily, from the North-Bohemian coal
mine area to Prague-Holesovice inland port via Aussig-
Vanov (Usti-Vanov) port.
b) A new large transshipment port was built in Velke Zbozi
near Nimburk on the Elbe River. A total of 20,000 tons
of coal from the North-Bohemian lignite area are to be
transshipped here.
3. Civilian Air Trans22rt
Czechoslovak Airline Company CSA has opened a direct air
route between Prague and Ankara with stopover in Sofia. The
route is served by an 11-18 aircraft once per week. The
flight takes 7 1/2 hours.
4. Plpslines
The laying of the 400 millimeter pipes for the crude oil
line from the Bohemian-Moravian Hills to Zaluzi near BrUx
(Most) has meanwhile continued along the Deutsch Brod
(Havl.Brod) - Kolin road and has reached Horky (WR 315 245).
Pipes laid on the ground because of the frozen soil are
being dug in, at present. (See Tpt Summary for March 1963).
V. Poland
Railroad Transpprt
1. Electrification
In conformity with the efforts to increase the transport
performances, the electrification program of the current
:Five Year Plan (1961-65) is to be fulfilled by 1964 already,
By September 1965. the Tarnowskie Gory - Karsznice stretch,
with branch line to Tschenstochau (Czestochowa) Stradom
(157 km) of the Kattowitz (Katowice) - Gdingen (Gdynia)
Coal Magistrale are to be completed additionally by 'September
1965. The electrified railroad ?system would thus total 2,200
kilometers by the .end of the current Five Year Plan.
The electrification projects of the next Five Year Plan
(1966-70) have been increased from 982 kilometers to ,apprexim-
ately 1.800 kilometers, including the remaining approximately
600 kilometers of the Coal Magistrale.

The implementation of the total electrification program of the
Polish .State Railroads (PKP) which is to cover 5,700 kilometers
by 1980, i.e. 25 per cent of the railroad system, will thus be
considerably accelerated. However) it is hardly to be expected
that the deadline will be met. (See Tpt Summary for February
1963, para Vil.b),
2. Rolling Stock
a) Reyairs
During a conference on 15 May 1963, the TransportiCommission
of the Central Committee of the PZPR (United Polish Workers
Party - Communist Party) and representatives of the Transport
Ministry and of the repair shops for rolling stock ZNTK)
discussed the continuing unsatisfactory repair of locomot-
? ives and RR cars and the measures to be taken to improve
this situation.
The reasons for the ZNTK arrears have been the same for
years, including
- Lack of standardization of the rolling stock;
? - Careless handling of locomotives and RR cars in the
operating service;
- Obsolete pool of motive power;
- Lack of technically qualified personnel (Approximately
four engineers as against 1,000 employees);
- Unscheduled' additional orders;
- Lack of "Plan Honesty".
Damages and repair arrears having increased during the
last winter will hardly be made good in 1963. From
January 1962 to January 1963, the rate of damaged steam
locomotives increased from 12 to 14.4 per cent, and the
rate of damaged passenger cars from nine to 12.6 per cent.
b) Purchase of Steam Locomotives from the USSR
According to an official announcement, approximately 200
steam locomotives had to be purchased from the USSR in
late 1962 because of-the shortage of locomotives. The
reference made to 700 locomotives in Monthly Tpt! Summary
for May 1963, Para V9 C) (1) is herewith amended.

Lone-Term_Electrification Projects of the Soviet .Zone
.Reichsbahn and Their Military StEnificance.
(For layout sketch, see attached Map)
a) Of the total of 14,890 kilometer Reichsbahn standard-gauge ?
network, 406 kilometers, i.e. 2.7 per cent, are electrified.
b) The above figure does not include the approximately 400
electrified track kilometers of the Berlin S-Balm (elevat-
ed train system). These lines are equipped with current
collector rails for direct current. of 0.8 kV (after
rebuilding - 1.5 kV) and are, therefore, only suitable for
the operation of S-Bahn railcars (and/or steam and diesel
locomotives), but not for electric locomotives or overhead
line railcars.
c). The 406 track kilometers electrified with overhead lines
are operated by single-phase alternating current, including
383 kilometers with 16 2/3 kc/15 kV, and 23 kilometers with
50 kc/25 kV. The 16 2/3 kc a.c, is supplied by the Reichs-
bahn power plant in Muldenstein (UT 168 264),
d) Though the 50 kc a.c. can be picked up from the general
power supply net, the further improvement of the elctrified
Reichsbahn network with 16 2/3 kc/15 kV is to be continued
until 1970.. Only the approximately 55 kilometer Blankenburg
(Harz)- Tanne and/or Drei Annen-Hohne line, which is
presently being improved and will-not be connected with the
other Reichsbahn network for the time being, is to be
operated with 50 kc/25 kV a.c., as of 1965.
The conversion of other lines to 50 kc/25 kV a.c.. is not
expected to begin before 1970; up to now, priority is
given to the conversion of RR lines crossing the borders
to Czechoslovakia and.Poland *).
A connection to the 16 2/3 kc/15 kV a.c. net of the West
German railroads has never been taken into consideration.
*) The Czechoslovak and Polish railroad system is
presently operating with 3,000 V d.c. Only in the
southern part of Czechoslovakia, RR lines are uniformly
to be electrified with 50 kc/25 kV a.c., in accordance
with the resolutions taken by the OSShD (Organization
for the Cooperation of East Bloc Railroads).

2. a) For the time being, the adherence to the 16 2/3 kc a.c.
systeM of the former Deutsche Reichsbahn in the Soviet
Zone of Occupation of Germany is probably conditioned by
the locomotive situation.
The construction of steam locomotives was discontinued in
late 1960.
Main line diesel locomotives were still under development.
Since the production of electric locomotives proceeded
slowly, the Reichsbahn had to rely on pre-war electric
locomotives for 16 2/3 kc/15 kV a.c.
Of the approximately 160 former Deutsche Reichsbahn
electric lovomotives which remained in the Soviet Zone,
approximately 100 have been rebuilt so far, and another
20 are to follow in the rebuilding program.
In early 1963, VEB Lokbau "Hans Beimler", Henningsdorf,
delivered 20 new electric locomotives (for 16 2/3 kc/15 kV
a.c.) to the Reichsbahn. By late 1963, the Reichsbahn
pool of rebuilt and/or new elctric locomotives is to
total 165 units.
b) At present, some test locomotives with 50 kc/25 kV a.c.
are on trial runs; however, they have not yet reached the
production stage.
3. Electrification plans have repeately been changed.
a) At present, the following projects have become known:
(For individual lines, see sketch).
- Supplementation of the existing electrified network by
short connecting lines to a total of approximately
490 kilometers, by late 1963. The 1963 electrification
would thus amount to 146 kilometers.
- Continuation of the electrification of the Sachsische
Dreieck (Saxonian Triangle) (=Leipzig - Reichenbach/
Vogtland - Dresden - Leipzig) from Zwickau to Freiberg/
Sa. (82 km).
By late 1965, the electrified system of the Reichsbahn
would thus total approximately 627 kilometers, i.e., 4.4
per cent of the total network. Since the program set up
until 1965 has been reduced repeatedly, it will probably
be fulfilled.
b) Plans provide for approximately 600 track kilometers to be
electrified in the following areas, between 1965 and 1970:
- In the "Sachsische Dreieck";
- On the Berlih - Erfurt - Neudietendorf Magietrale;
- In the Lausitz lignite mining area (Senftenberg area);
- Interconnection of electrified lines;
- Connection to Schbna, border crossing point to Czecho-
slovakia, near Bad Schandau. (For details, see attached
sketch).? .

- 3 - Annex 4 to Tpt Summary
for June 1963
Though due to the repeated changes of the electrification
program all electrification projects north and east of
Berlin and the Berlin - ThUringer (Thuringia) Magistrale
with the uSachsische Dreieck" have been excluded, the
fulfillment of the 1965/70 program appears questionable
in view of the generally difficult economic situation in
the Soviet Zone.
c) It is furthermore doubted that the folloWing program for
the development of tractive power will be fulfilled:

4 Militau_Assessment
The electrification projects are exclusively governed by
economic considerations.
The enlargement of the pool of electric locomotives makes
it possible, even with the continuing reduction of the pool
of steam locomotives, to form a militarily usable reserve
of steam locomotives. As long as the Reichsbahn retains
the 16 2/3 kc/14 kV a.c. system, the employment of its
electric locomotives is restricted to its own electrified
RR system.
Considerable disturbances in electric train traction are to
be expected in the event of war. However, the improvement
of train control, and of signal and telecommunications
installations, carried out within the framework of the'
electrification projects, increases the capacity of the
lines and, consequently, also the transportation performances
in steam and/or diesel traction.

Summary for June 1963
Road Improvement on the Soviet Zone est German
Demarcation Line
In the District Erfurt "Kreisen located along the demarcation
line, the following road and bridge building has been observed.
since 1961:
Kreis Eisenach
- Highway F-7
In 1960/61, the 5.5 kilometer stretch of the Eisenach.West
Deubachshof (NB 8851) access road to the Autobahn, being used
by interzonal road traffic, was widened to about 8-10 meters,
repaved partly with granite and partly with asphalt, and its.
curves straightened.
- L II Os (secondary roads) Vitzeroda (NB 7537) - Gasteroda
Tin3 7439) and Vitzeroda - Abderoda (NB 7539) were widened to
about 6-7 meters and asphalted in 1962..
- L II_O_G.ouerpd_a_NB 7740_2 Abderedat
and
L I 0 (primaly road) Gosperoda - ftpringen (NB 776).
In the summer of 1962, construction material, including gravel,
sand, and tar, was deposited along these roads presumably for
the widening of the roads.
- L.I 0 GerstuRgen_iNB 7547) - Sallmannshausen (NB 7750).
The road's stretch previously leading through Neusladt on the.
Werra River (NB 7750) was straightened, beginning in .the fall
of 1961. The new route runs east-west of, and parallel to,
the railroad line as far as the bridge built in 1958/59 across
the Werra River near NB 772 499..;
- L II_O Danklarshetuemh 013,..114:2,L7 DA2pach....(N23,2.2)..
and
L I 0 DITRach - Berka (NB 75441
In 1961, both roads were reinforced by approximately 0.60 meter
gravel ballast, widened to about 10 meters, and paved with
basalt stones._
- Bridge over the Werra River at Dankmarshausen (NB 717 4221
In the fall of 1962, preparatory work began for the construction
of an 80 meter long reinforced concrete box girder bridge,
approximately 76 meters north of the old Werra Bridge at Dank-
marshausen. The bridge is to be completed by 1964. The
western part of the old bridge collapsed in the spring of 1962.,
It was provisionally reinforced for a capacity of nine tons.
In 1961, a new Werra bridge (NB 846 5..01). was completed near
Wartha (NB 84507: The bridge is approximately 80 meters long,
10 meters wide, and has a capacity of 80 tons-. It replaces
the obsolete wooden bridge.

Summary for June 63
- In 1961, a Werra brida2, the exact position of which is
unknown, was built near Mihla (NB 9359).
- New Connecting Road between the Gap in the Autobahn Stretch
from the _Interchange of the Autobahn at Eisenach-West to
North of7Tersuhl_ip-'7A-4-).
The presumably intended rerouting of the road crossing the
demarcation line between Wartha, and/or, Herleshausen (NB
8550), and Untersuhl (NB 7445) requires a new connection from
Highway F-84 near Fortha (NB 8745) to the Autobahn (NB 4547)
via Oberellen (NB 8345) - Kratzeroda (NB 7846) - Gerstungen
(NB 7546). In line with the expensive .construction of the
new road, begun in the fall of 1961, rocks are blasted, woods
cleared, bridges and protective walls built, etc. .The road
is routed parallel to the new 13.25 kilometer single-track
FOrtha-Gerstungen RR line, completed in September 1962.
The about 9.7 kilometer stretch from Oberellen to Gerstungen
was opened to traffic in November 1962.
One bridge each was built across the Werra (NB 7647) and the
railroad line (NB 7547).
- L I 0._.3 Sickerode (NB 7878) - Dieterode (NB 778A)
This primary road stretch was closed to traffic from May to
September 1962 and completely improved. It received an
about 0.80 meter gravel base, asphalt surface, and a0.50
meter wide concrete curb on both sides.

In the summer of 1962, the above two roads were widened to
approximately six meters and asphalted; shoulders were
reinforced by concrete slabs.
- Now Road South of Kreuzerba
- In t& fan of W6, a-road was built from about NB 878 885
to about NB 870 878. Another road was built from NB 873 880
extending in northwesterly direction. Both roads were
allegedly built in connection with.u/i 'military construction
projects.
