of the Czech-Hungarian Danube' power plants at Gabcikovo
(Czechoslovakia) and Nagymaros (Hungary):, The particip-.
ationlof a Soviet group of experts, headed by Chief
Engineer G.M.Petrov (Moscow) is indicative of the
distinct Soviet influence in the discussions.
The general Soviet influence in Danube shipping is also
evident from an early May 1964 note of the management
of the Soviet State Danube Shipping Company (SDGP) to
the Fest German teamed-up Bayerische Lloyd A.G.

b) pPW:(0b.shchil_park.VaRonov)_. Common Freight Car Pool
-
The following details have been learned on the Common
Freight Car Pool:
(1) The headquarters of the OPT Council (managing board)
is in Prague; director of the Council is Josef
Pospisil, of Czechoslovakia._ The first Council
meeting took place in Brno, Czechoslovakia, in late
April 1964,. under the chairmanship of A.Denev, of
Bulgaria.
(2) Experts of all member railroads are to be delegated
to the central planning office (also dispatcher or.
operating office) in Prague. This office will
consist of four departments (dispatcher service,
planning, accounting and secretariat departments),
with a total staff of about 50. Operations of the
central planning office are to begin on T June 1964;
the first transports of OPW cars are to start on
1 July 1964.
The main difficulties in the starting of operations
of the common freight car pool are being experienced
in the following:

- Making available the necessary number of Uniforin
and technically satisfactory freight cats.
- Selecting and designating these.
- Establishing an appropriate communications system
between the operating office in Prague and the central
car control offices of the member railroads, as a
prerequisite for an effectively controlled car pool.
This problem was the subject of a meeting of tele-
communications experts in Leningrad, in mid-April
1964, who discussed the establishment of a dispatcher
communications system within the seven railroad
administrations (Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland,
Rumania, Soviet Zone of Occupation of Germany,
Hungary and USSR) of the common freight car P5050-HUM

(1) In late May ..1964 new train reversing facilities vere
put into operation at Alexanderplatz -S-Jlahn
station. The new station building had already been
handed over to traffic on the occaSion of the
erman Youth Meeting. These now reversing
facilities enable the operation of trains up to
'lexanderplatz, formerly running as far as
Borlin.Ostbahnhof only.
(2) (a) Since 1959, the VEB Berlin Transport Company
in East Berlin has put into service 114 new
streetcars and almost 400 reconstructed
streetcars.
In addition, 51 now buses were bought,and
30 S-Bahn cars, converted to-subway'operation

a. Personnel
Reichsbahnhauptrat -Jailer Brandt, President of
Reichsbahn Division Greifswald, has been relieved
from his functions as such for a long-term training
course.'' Reichsbahnoberrat Mack, Viceprosident of
the Operational Service of Reichsbahn Division
Greifswald, has been ordered to take over temporarily
from President Brandt.
In 1954, at the age of about 25 years, Brandt became
head of the former Reichsbahnamt (Pba) Berlin 5, sub-
sequently of Rba 6 and,5/6, and from 1957 to
1959 of Rba Berlin 1. Before 1954, he was deputy
of the head of the former Rba 5. On 15 October 1960,
he became Vicepresident of Reichsbahn Division
Greifswald and; on 1 February 1962, President of.
Reichsbahn ipivision?Greifswald: During his training
course Brandt is to get the qualifications for his

b. (1) The operational-situation of the Reichsbahn was mainly
influenced by the special train traffic for the so-
called Deutschlandtreffen der Jugend (German Youth
Meeting), held in East Berlin between 16 and 18 May
1964, and by increaSed traffic at Whitsun.
On the oceasion of the German Youth Meeting, 111
special trains, mostly made up of converted boxcars, ,
some of them prepared for the occasion as early as
April 1961-f, parried about 182,000 passengers.
Most of the special trains arrived within 16 hours
at 12 Berlin railroad stations, including Berlin=
Karlshorst, Friedrichshagen, Kaulsdorf, Lichtenberg,
Adlershof, Greifswalderstrasse, Frankfurthr
Berlin.Ostgtitebahnhof and Jr.iezener Bahnhof; on
16 May and during the night of 16/17 Nay 1964. After
the end of the German fouth Meeting, the trains required
about the same length of time to pull out of Berlin.
In order to guarantee an even demand on transport
capacity and to avoid arrears in the transportation
plan during the May holidays, the Soviet Zone Central
Transport Committee doubled the penalties for
cars not claimed by the consignor, and
deficiencies in the number of cars not made available
by the Reichsbahn
during the period from 1 to 10 and from 16 to 20 May
1961+.
Special importance is being attached to full utilization
of the transport capacities after Under Secretary
ScholL:, Deputy Transport Minister, in a speech to the
heads of the Nain Administrations of the Transport
Ministry and Presidents of the Reichsbahn Divisions
and other functionaries on 22 May 1964, stated that
the transportation plan was fulfilled by 95.8 per
cent only in April and that the present performance
figures were inadequate to guarantee the fulfillment of
the 1964 Plan.
(2) Military demand on the Reichsbahn. mostlj. by the
,oviet Army. Between 1 and 20 May 1964; only sporadic ?
military transports were carried out by the Reichs-
bahn. In spite of intensified exercise activity around
20 May 1964, the required railroad shipments, in-
cluding transportation of tanks, did not impede
Reichsbahn operation's.

c. Construction and Renewal
f. Tracks
(1) (a) The Drewin Neustrelitz stretch of Line 121
(.6erlin - Rostock) has been in double-track
operation since 17 March 1964.
On the Lowenberg (Mark) - 6.ransee stretch of
this line, double-track operation started with
the beginning of the 1964 summer timetable
(31 Nay).
The Gransee - Dannenwalde stretch has been
double-tracked since 1962; the FUrstenberg (Havel)
- Drewin stretch has been double-tracked since
18 September 1963. For the time being, the Dannen-
walde FUrstenberg (Havel) stretch of this line
remains single-tracked.
Double-tracking of this latter stretch is to be
completed by the beginning of the 1964/65 winter
timetable.
(b) On 31 May 1964, the 12-ki1omAr long new stretch
Rostock Overseas Harbor ?- Kavelstorf (Line 117)
and the auto:aatic electric block system on the
newly constructed Neustrelitz main station - Lalen-
dorf Stretch (Line 117) was put into operation
within the framework of the Berlin -;Rostock freight
line.
(2) Since 21 April 1964, the stretch between branching-off
point Ac (close to stop Sedlitz Ost, about four
kilometers northeast of Senftenberg) and branching-off
point fiornoer Bilden West (about three kilometers south..
west of Bahnsdorf stop) has been in double-track
operation.
This is a newly constructed stretch, including the
single-track connection between branching-off point
')ornoer -buden Nord- (until 21 1964: branching-,off
point Bahnsdorf) (close to Bahnsdorf stop) and '
branching-off point Sornoer uden West.
A new signaling tower ''Sornoer Buden", equipped:with
trackage projection screen, replaces the previous
signaling towers at Bahnsdorf station and at the former
branching-off point Bahnsdorf. In addition, light
signals have been installed instead of the mechanical
signals.

Near Grossheringen (Lines 180 and/or 188) and at Weimar station,
new major bridge structNres are required for the crossing
with other-lines.
In addition, anew signaling tower with trackage projection
screen as well as a power substation for the power supply of

In April 1964, the following new tracks were taken into
operation:
- Lubolz - Llibben main station (29 April)
- Lubben main station - Ragow (8 April).
No inclications are available indicating double-track
operation. Of Line 162, therefore, only the following
stretches are double-tracked:
- Berlin.Schoneweide Berlin.Grlinau,

- Brand (Ndl) - SchOnwalde (Spree).
d. Rolling Stock
(1) (a)
Between 1961 and 1963, the nationalized Soviet Zone
factories engaged in the. construction of railcars
have exported, among others, the following vehicles:
3,310 passenger railroad cars,
2,379 refrigerator cars,
1,177 icebox. cars
507 rail motor cdrs.
(b) These rail motor cars were mostly electric ?locemotiveS
for industrial purposes manufactured by VEB LEW (Lokbau
und Elektrotechnische ilerke) "Hans Beimler", in -
Hennigsdorf. (The export of electric locomotives.
amounted to 221 units in 1961, and to 156 units in
1962).
(2) (a) In September 1963, VEB LEW, Hennigsdorf, allegedly
turned out "one heavy locomotive for industrial
purposes daily,"presumably, electric locomotives with
a weight exceeding 60 tons. 'Until 31 October 1961?,
2,000 locomotives of this type were manufactured.
Since mid-1963, VEB LEW is todeliver.one industry
electric locomotive of 150 tons
weight every other day.
(b) The production for the need of the ReiChsbahn is
still lagging far behind the production for industrial'
purposes, especially with respect to the fulfillment
of expdrt commitments. From late 1962 to late 1963,
appreximately, 75 electric locoMotives of construction
series E 11 and E 42 (15 kV16 2/3 cycles a,c,) were
delivered-.
Allegedly only 25 locomotives of these types are to
be built under the 1964-productien. plan.Consequently,
the Reichsbahn would have approximately 100 locomotives,

of the above-mentioned types at its disposal in early
1965.
Added to the about 100 reconstructed electric loco-
motives, the Reichsbahn pool of electric locomotives
will consist of 200 units by early 1965.(-?or survey
of the existing types see tabulation in Annex 1).
Since this pool is inadequate for the current
electrification and future extension of the electrified
net, an increase in the production program seems
probable. It is possible, however, that stronger electric
locomotives will be developed in the meantime. 50X1 -HUM
By 1977, about 1,200 electric locomotives are to
be available for 4,500 kilometers of electrified
lines.

3. Road Transportation
Road Construction
On the Berlin - Dresden autobahn, and on Highways 1, 102,
115, 246 A and 281, the following construction projects
are under way, have already been completed, or are planned
for the imminent future,
a. Berlin- Dresden Autobahn
The auxiliary autobahn bridge (PC 251 242,autobahn
kilometer 85.2), located 200 meters south of the Bronkow
autobahn branching-off point, is being replaced by a new
pre-stressed concrete bridge. The bridge spans the
secondary road (LII0)-from Bronkow (VT 2525) to Lipton
.(VT 2522)..
The two lanes of the about 3-kilometer long Ruhland
(VT 2101) - Ortrand (VS 1492) autobahn stretch are to
be repaired by late 1964. Repair Work is impeded by the
obsolete construction machine pool and by the shortage
of personnel and construction material...

b. F-1
The F-1 is at present being improved between Plaue
(UU 2409) and the district border of Potsdam,southwest
of Bensdorf (UU 1911) near UU 1610.
Repairing of. Plaue bridge, located on F-1, will start in
June 1964, Since November 1963, there is a 6-ton limit
for vehicles crossing this dilapidated bridge..
c, F-102
?
Construction work on the Brandenburg-Fdhrde (UU 2918)
stretch of F-102 was completed in the spring of 1964
after a 18-months building period. The road has been
widened to about 7.50 meters, partly been straightened,
and received a concrete surface. F-102 is now closed
between DOberitz (UU 2222) and Pritzerbe (UU2719) for
about six kilometers for repair work. The entire F-102 is
in a poor state of repair. Improvement of the highway has
been planned for years.
11-11 .
After completion of a 3-kilometer long and 7-meter wide
by-pass .road at Vetschau (VT 3637) in September 1962,
the about 20-kilomter long Vetschau-Cottbus stretch, which
is in a poor state of repair, is being improved since
mid-1963. Progress is slow.
F-246a
By integrating primary roads (LI0s) in the Eagdeburg
district, a new highway, the F-246a, has been created as
a by-pass around Magdeburg.
Running in a semicircle south of idagdeburg, it extends
from Burg (PC 9595) via H6ckern (Q,C 0281) - Schdnebeck
(PC 8866) - Vlanzleben (PC 6771) - Seehausen (PC 5774)
to the Eilsleben (PC 548 855) branching-off point of the
Berlin - Helmstedt autobahn, near autobahn kilometer 114.1.
To make F-246a suitable for heavy traffic, the stretches are
being widened and straightened and partly rerouted.
Construction work under way on various stretchesbetween
Burg and ';felsleben (PC 8165) has resulted in closing of
roads to traffic.
f. F-P81
Host .of the 39-kilometer long stretch between Saalfeld
and Triptis (7LB 0225) will be rerouted and widened to
8.50 meters. In ad:ition, a number of by-passes are
scheduled. .:Jork will begin on the Possneck (PB 8319) -
Kolba (PB 8922) stretch. in 1964, excavation work and
the base of the about5-kilometer long project are to be
completed. In order not to impede traffic,temporary roads
have been constructed as by-passes in some places.

Inland squilu and Passenger Coast Shippina
a (1) Major repair work is at present being carried out
at the -endisch,Rietz lock (VT 321 855) (kilometer
22,7).
In this -connection, the Spree-Oder-Neisse Water
Control Department in Cottbus' hasordered the blocking
between kilometer 22.6 and kilometer 22.9 of the
entire ship and boat traffic from September 1964 to
May 1965.
The lock is located on the canal, connecting ScharmUtzel-
see Lake (or 'Wolgensee Lake) with Gross Storkowersee
Lake. These two lakes are part of the "asserstrasse
Storkower.Gewasser (waterway Storkow waters), which
is navigable for ships up to 180 tons.
At the same time, the road bridge over the canal
in Vliendisch,Rietz (VT 321 355) is being rebuilt in
connection with the primary road Bad Saarow - F-246
(point VT 323 847).
(2) At Bischofswerder lock (UU 912 617) of Voss Canal,
intensive repair work was carried out in early 1964.
New lock gates were installed after completion of
repair work on the concrete lock structures. The
repair has been completed in the meantime.
Voss Canal is navigable for ships up to 270 tons
carrying capacity. Connecting the Oder-Havel Canal
with the Havel River, it runs from about Liebenwalde
(UU 9259) to Zehdenick: (UU 8972) in easterly
direction parallel to the Havel River, which has many
bends in this area.
(3) From early April to about mid-May 1964,'Laren lock
(UU 848.895).in the Havel River was closed to traffic
because the lock gates were in need of repair.
Due to repair work on the Bischofswerder and'Laren
locks, shipping between. the Berlin area and Mecklen-
burg was closed for vessels of over 270 tons-
(4) At Alt-Friesack (UU 580 566) lock located between
Ruppinersee Lake and BUtzsee Lake,, renovation work
was carried out for two months until April 1964.
b. The VEB Passenger Shipping Agency "White Fleet ? in Stral-
sund, which maintains branch offices in various localities
on the Baltic coast, on Rugen Island and Hiddensee Island,
has increased its fleet by five vessels to a total of
37 in 1962. A total of 1.414,000 passengers were transported
in regular line service and excUrsion cruises in 1963.

I. Railroad Transportation
a) aaining-
The Czech State Railroads (CSD) have put into
operation on short excursion lines so-called
Pioneer-Railroads for the training of pioneer
railroaders. These railroads are operated, under
the control of experienced railroaders, with the
exception of the locomotive engineer by juveniles
aged 10 to 15 years. Such Pioneer-Railroads are in
Pilsen (Plzen), Kaschau (Kosice) and Presov.
Maintenance work is also carried out by pioneers.
Railroad technical schools, located at these places,
are in control of and responsible for schooling
and the carrying-out of repairs.
b) Line Construction
(1) After. an early beginning of. construction work
for the Vojany-Haniska broad-gauge line, at
the overpass south of Kosice, construction
work at other sections of the planned route
was taken up in early April 1964., The line
will be established with six servicing stations
and is projected for 80 km/h speed.- For'
diesel traffic the train standard.weight has been
fixed at 4,000 tons, and for later electric
traffic at 4,200 tons, The planned electrification
(direct current) requires a distance of 5 to
6.3 meters between the broad-gauge axle and
the standard-gauge axle.. Only pre-fabricated
parts, manufactured in Otna near Kosice*,: ate
-
to be used for the construction of bridges
and overpasses.

(2) At the-bonstruction of the Ostrava/Kuncice Polanka no0.
-connecting line, the three kilometer long-Kuncice
Vitkovice stretch has been completed in early May 1964,
three weeks ahead of schedule. On .6 May 1964, the
,KUncica'- Vitkovice stretch was inaugurated by an ore
train with diesel traction. The train was on its way
to the Vitkovice iron works. Beginning 1 September 1964,
single-track traffic is-to be put into operation on
the entire line. Then the second track will be laid.
Electrification is, contrary to the previous planning
(1966)9scheduled for early 1965.
c) LtEILLIIIIJILIktpl and Telecommunication
At Strba station (DV-3335) on the Friendship Line, electronic
remote control of switches and signals has been installed.
Traffic is controlled by a central station (presumably
Poprad). By late 1964, fifty more stations are to be equipped
with this remote control system.
d) . Electrification .
On 29 May 1964, the Brux (Most) - Oldrichov Aussig (Usti n.L.)
test traffic line, with its alternative stretch BrUx
Louka u Litvinova Oldrichov, was handed over to regular
electric traffic, bringing the total length of electrified
Czech standard-gauge lines up to 1,312 kilometers. The length
of the electrified narrow-gauge lines amounts to 64 kilometers
which brings the entire electrified road net to 1,376
kilometers. At variance with previous planning, the
following lines are to be electrified by 1965:
Havlickuv Brod-- Jihlava,
Velky Osek - Hradec Kralove - Tyniste nad
Orlici - ?Chocen
Pardubice- Hradec Kralove

2. Road Transportation,
a) Performance Data.
From early January to mid-March 1964, State Motor Vehicle
Transport (CSAD) has transported over one million tons
of coal from the North Bohemian lignite coal district.'
b) Border Crossing_Traffic
At the Furth i.W,/s'chafberg --Vollmau (Facava) border
crossing point, newly. to be opened for freight and .
passenger motor vehicle, road improvement work (widening
of road to 7 to 8 meters and bridge construction across
Warme Pastritz-River) is under way. ,At a roadway width of
7.5 meters-1-the carrying capacity of the bridge will be
60 tonb, Construction work is carried out by German
firts;:pre-fabriCated reinforced concrete parts are
supplied by Czechoslovakia..

Railroad Trans ortation
a) Data
ID)
During the first three months of 1964, the Polish
State Railroads (PKP) transported 219 (as against
205 during the same period in 1963) million
passengers and 75.4 (as against 65 during the same period
. tqX1965) million tons of freight.
Road Net
The Pi4uszkow Grodzisk:stretch of the electrifiaa
WarszaliajWarschau) - Czestochowa main line has four
rail's (heavy suburban traffic).
c) Electrification
(1) In late April 1964, the length of electrified
lines on the Polish State Railroad. (PKP) net. amounted
to alpost 1,000 kilometers.
(2) On 28 April 1964, after completion of electrification
work on the last stretch of the Katowice (Kattowitz)
Krakow (Krakau) - Przemysl ore Magistrale, the first
elecitria train pulled into Medyka station.
The performance on this Magistrale will increase by
more than 25 per cent, and the number of locomotives
, required will decrease by 50 per cent.
d) (1) Since early April 1964, old rails and ties are
being replaced by new ones on the Sierpc -
Plock line. Track repair of about 600 meters is
carried out daily;'.presumably.preparatory work for
the electrification of the Sierpc Kutno line
