,Czechoslovakia, North Korea, People's Republic of Mongolia; Poland;
Rumania, Hungary,USSR and East Germany, and by representatives of
the Standing Transport Committee of COIlaECON. The most essential
topic of the agenda was again the improvement of transport
connections by rail and road within the OSShD area. The discussions
included the
a) Establishment of the common freight car pool of the Soviet Bloc.
b) Furthering of scientific-technical cooperation,including the
electrification of railroads.
c) Freight car clearance limitations.

(2) The suburban line Gorki--Zavolsh'e was electrified with alter-
nating current in 1960. However,, the, required a.c.railcar
trains were not delivcred by the Riga Car Construction Plant.
Since there was also a shortage of light electric locomotives,
the suburban line has been converted temporarily to direct
current so that passenger trains are hauled by electric locomotives;
freight traffic continues to be served by steam locomotives.
A similar case occured at the Vladimir-Gorki and Gorki-Shakhun'ya
stretches, electrified with alternating current in 1961/62,
where also no electric suburban trains are available. However,
due to the strong roadbed of the stretches, heavy electric
locomotives (VL 60) haul the auburban trains which partly
consist of completely obsolete cars using candle lighting.
(3) The standard weight of a freight train is 1,930 tons on the
Carpathian Chop-Lvov-Zdolbunov line. However, the diesel
locomotives (from the West Lvov Depot) employed on this line
at present haul trains of a tonnage of 2,005:

c,) Protection of Train Running and Telecommunications
The following RR stretches have been equipped with automatic block
eugipment and signal centers:
- Zarepta - Kotel'nikovo - Zal'sk - Tikhoreckaya (on Volgograd
Tikhorockaya line).
- Urbakh - Ershov - Otsinki - heck - Kandagach (on Saratov-
Kandagach line).
- Sharyk - Mointy - Chu - Alma=Ata (on Karaganda-Chu-Alma=Ata line).
(2) The post at Kilometer Marker 130 of the Orel-Bryrnsk, stretch was
named "Railroad Station Bryansk-East".
f) 'Rolling Stock (Barrow Gnu e
Viithin the framework of the modernization measures to increase
the capacity of RR transportation, the rolling stock of narrow-
gauge railroads is also being renewed and improved. In addition
to the development, testing and production of rail buses and of
new 225,300 and 350 PS diesel locomotives, the following 'types
of narrow-gauge railroad cars are presently being developed:
Boxcars for 20 tons
Flatcars for 20 tons
Tank cars for 20 tons
Dump cars for 20 and 35 tons
Self-discharging cars for 10 tons
Timber care for 10 tons
All metal passenger cars.
During the last few years, Piilna (Vilnius) RR station was
enlarged several times to increase its clearance and switching
capacity. New tracks were laid and tracks for the processing
of trains were modified. Part of the steam switching locomotives
were replaced by diesel switching locomotives, and all
locomotives were equipped with a radio set. At present, a
signaling device with trackage projection screen is being
installed at the station. With the completion of the plant,
scheduled for September 1963, the setting up of a train's route
will only require some seconds as against the previous at
least 10 minutes.

In 1963, the narrow-gauge railroads are to receive:
200 Diesel locomotives ( 225 PS
780 Motor locomotives ( 54 PS3
8,650 Freight, and/or passenger cars..
The 1965 production program provides for the delivery of 400
diesel locomotives and appr. 12,000 freight and/or passenger cars.'
2.' Inland Shipping
A shiplift.is presently under construction for shipping on the
Krasnoyarsk Reservoir (Length about 400km) on the River Yenisey. '
The ship lifting chamber which is filled with water allegedly weighs
6,500 tons and is moved by motors with a total capacity of about
30,000 167. The plant is to be put in operation by 1966.
3. Civilian Air Transport
On 1 April 1963 the summer timetable of Aeroflot airlines became
effective on international air routes. As of that date, these routes
are almost exclusively served by aircraft types IL-18,TU-104. and
TU-114 as follows:
-TU-104s on routes to Berlin,London,Paris,Prague,Pyongyang and
Vienna.
-IL-18s on routes to Accra, Khartoum,Conakry,Djakarta,Kabul,Cairo,
Rabat and Rangoon.
-TU-114s on routes Moscow-Ravanna and Moscow-New Delhi
( once per week without intermediate stop).
Interzonal Traffic and Berlin Traffic Situation
a) Interzonal Traffic
(1) The following additional seasonal trains, included in the,
summer timetable, are again running in interzonal traffic:
(a) In traffic between Berlin and West Germany:
- D 1009/1010 Paris North-Aachen-Ilelmstedt/Marienborn-
Berlin Stadtbahn, with through coaches to
and from Warsaw, from 26 May to 28 September
1963.

Frankfurt/Oder from 5 July to 4 September 1963.
This train pair will be running beyond Berlin
for the first time.
(b) In traffic between West Germany and the Soviet Zone (for the
first time since 1961):
- D 1035/1036 Hannover-Magdeburg, from 29 June to 8 September 1963.
(2) The Deutsche Bundesbahn (German Federal Railroads) and the Reichs-
bahn had agreed upon employing?three relief trains from Berlin to
West Germany and five relief trains from West Germany to Berlin
during Whitsuntide.

b) Berlin Traffic Situation
(1) The P.eichsbahn attempts to bind by signature railroaders, residing
in West Berlin and detailed for duty on interzonal trains, not to
enter East Berlin unofficially any longer. Most of these
railroaders have allegedly rejected this demand.

(2) In line with its economy measures in West Berlin,, the Reichsbahn
subordinated the previously independent RR stations Berlin
Anhalter Bahnhof, Berlin=Tempelhof, and Berlin='Tempelhof
switchyard to a joint managing office at Berlin=Tempelhof
RR station.
(3) The presently valid regulations for the sector crossing points
between West and East Berlin have been compiled in Annex 3 of
this report. The survey replaces Part B of Annex 2 to
Transportation Summary for January 1963. The map on "Verkehrslage
Berlin-Autobahnen, Fernverkehrsstrassen,Schiffahrtswege and
offene Eisenbahnstrecken nach Berlin(West)" (Berlin Traffic
Situation-superhighways,trunk roads,waterways and open RR lines
to West Berlin), appertaining to this Annex, is still valid.
2. Railroad Transportation
a) Operations and Traffic
(1) The gradual recovery of the operational and coal situation
of the Reichsbahn continued in May 1963.
(2) With the continuation of the training exercises in the
Letzlinger Heide-Altengrabo area, military requirements
of the Reichsbahn were continuously intense up to about
20 May, because of the shuttle movement of troops between
the two training grounds. No special features were observed
in military border crossing traffic throughout biay 1963.
(3) In early May 1963, one tank: car train, carrying crude oil
imported via Rostock Sea Harbor, moved to Ruhland daily.
b) RR Line Improvement
(1) (a) A new appr.,. nine kilometer long connecting line has been
put in service between Spreewitz (on the Knappenrode-
Schwarze Pumpe stretch of Coal Line 162 v) and Graustein
(on the Weisswasser-Spremberg stretch of Line 162).
(b) Some time ago, a connecting line was completed between
Bluno (on Schwarze Pumpe-Hoyerswerda stretch of Coal
Line 162v) and Bahnsdorf/Lieske (on Senftenberg-Neu
Petershain stretch of Line 162 a).
(c) The new lines serve for transportation of coal between
the coal mine area at'Schwarze Pumpe and the Berlin area.
In belt-line traffic, loaded trains are hauled to Berlin
via Cottbus, LUbbenau-Kcenigswusterhausen and empty
trains are returned via Frankfurt/Odor-Grunow-Cottbus.
Other belt-line routes to be established are to provide
maximum utilization of some low capacity stretches of
the Reichsbahn network.

(a) Beginning.with the summer timetable,. regular electric traffic
was opened on the following railroad' stretches
Altenburg-Werdau-7wickau (of a length of 45 kilometers)
(on Lines 173/171 a).
Leipzig=Wahren - Leipzig=Leutzsch - Gaschwitz of a length
of 17 kilometers (on Leipzig 'lest Ring from Line 184 to
Line 173):
A new transformer station has been completed near Goesswitz
(on Line 173).
SECRET
(2) In connection with the stress on increase of the capacity of the
above coal transport lines, Line 162 is being renovated between
Koenigswusterhausen and Luebben. A new track was opened for tiro=way
traffic between Lubolz'and Schoenwalde(Spreewald). However, the
old track between Halleand Teupi6z=Grosskoeris is still being
used for two-way traffic together with the new track on that
stretch. It is allegedly intended to put into practice the double-
tracking, planned for a long time, of the Koenigswusterhausen-
Luebbenau(Line 162)-Calau-Senftenberg(Line 159 e) connection by
1964.
(3) t1?other new single-track'line branches off from the Knappenrode-
Niesky stretch of Line 162 r at Uhyst in a northeasterly direction
to the neighborhood of Boxberg (VS 705 955). An EGA loading
installation with several ramps is located between Boxberg and
Nochten (VS 722 981).. 1
It is allegedly intended to build a branch line between Nochten
and Schleife on the Weisswasser Spremberg stretch of Lino'162.
(4) On Line 163 a between '?eithain (east of Riesa) and Elsterwerda
a new'railroad station "with branched trackage" (mit verzweigten
Gleisanlagen) is being enlarged for Tube Rolling Mill III under
construction near 7eithain, between Groeditz (on Line 163 a)
and the Elbe River near Riess. The plant has also been connected
with the Elbe River by a two-kilometer long canal.
The single-track standard gauge line, closed down since the end
of \VW II and extending from Barth (on Line 123 b,d,elto 7ingst
(UA 500 345), is under reconstruction. The reconstruction includes
the repair of a bridge located 500 meters northwest of Bresewitz
(center of the bridge=UA 488 315), and of a bridge one kilometer
north of Pruchten (center of the bridge= UA 491 299).
The bridge at Bresewitz which formerly also served road traffic,
will be reconstructed solely as a railroad bridge and will be
usable as such already in 1963. A separate road bridge is-to be
built on Highway 195,100 meters east of the railroad bridge.

(b) Another 146 track kilometers are to be electrified in 1963,
including the. following stretches':
Leipzig - Grosskorbetha (op Line 180 a)
Halle/Saale - Muldenstein (on Line 180)
Werdau-Reichenbach (Vogtland) (on Line 173).
Preparations are also under way for the electrification of the
7wickau-Karl Marx Stadt (Chemnitz) stretch.
c) Rolling Stock
(1) The first serially produced main line diesel locomotive of
Construction Series V 180 (No-005 "Sixth Party Meeting")
has proved satisfactory on test runs and is at present used
in regular service on the Berlin Outer Ring. VEB Lokbau
(car construction plant) "Karl Marx", Babelsberg (Potsdam)
is to deliver another 15 diesel locomotives of this series
to the Rcichsbahn, in 1963. Of the prototypes of this diesel
locomotive, only Nos. V-180 003 and 004 are still available;
they are also operated on the Berlin Outer Ring.
(2) By late 1963, the Reichsba.hn is to receive 208 60-ton four-
axle freight cars, each with three containers for the transportation
of bulk material. Thirty-one of this type car *ere already
imported from Yugoslavia in 1961/62.
(3) Annex 4 of this report contains three surveys with layout-
sketches on the
(a) Soviet Zone production and repair plants for rolling
stock, including important supply fc;ctories.
(b) Rcichsbahn maintenance shops.
(c) Rcichsbahn maintenance shops for railroad cars.
Road Transportation
Motor Vehicle Repair
a) In order to meet the continuously rising volume of motor vehicle
repair and to.reduce the long waiting periods caused by the high
repair quota, a new motor vehicle repair plant is under construction
at Gera, scheduled to be completed by '1966. In addition to the repair
of passenger cars Types Volga,Skoda,Wartburg and Trabant, this
new major repair plant is to generally overhaul 13 trucks daily.
The already existing VEB Repair Plant Gera carries out minor repairs
only.

b) Another motor vehicle repair plant is presently being
established at Schwerin. It is to be completed in the autumn
of 1963 and is to carry out the repair and general overhaul of
trucks.
c) Contrary to reference made in Para 111,3 b) of Transportation
Summary for April 1963, Annex 7 of that summary, concerning
road and bridge building in District Suhl, is submitted with
.this report.
4. Civilian Air Traffic
a) During the 1963 summer timetable period, the Deutsche Lufthansa
(East) serves the following intrazonal routes:
"7entralflughafen Berlin=Schoenefeld" - Barth
of . It " - Leipzig
It It Erfurt
Dresden-Klotzsche - Barth
" " - Erfurt
Compared with previous years, the number of air routes and daily
flights has been considerably reduced; however, for the first
time, the timetable provides for an intrazonal connection at
night. Air traffic between "7entralflughafen Berlin-Schoenefeld"
and Karl Liarx Stadt (Chemnitz), discontined since 1 November 1962,
has not been resumed.
b) As from 15 June 1963, Interflug, the subsidiary company of the
Deutsche Lufthansa (East), employed for occasional flights between
the Soviet lone and neutral and/or Western countries, will serve
the 7entralflughafen Berlin=Schoenefeld - Vienna route with
IL-18 aircraft, once per week, in each direction. A bus connection
to West Berlin is allegedly guaranteed.
c) During the summer of 1963, every two weeks, the Deutsche Luft-
hansa (East) will provide charter flights to people on leave to
Constanza on the Rumanian coast of the Black Sea.

- 14 -
divisions (RR administrations) were to be disbanded and to be
replaced by four railroads (drahy) with a total of 12 operating
departments (provozni oddil).
Through this measure, the RR management is to be tightened and
centralized, and train transportation is to be better coordinated
on individual lines. Consequently, it is hoped, to improve the
turnaround time of cars and to better. exploit the tonnage available.
The new organization was to become effective with the 1963/64
timetable, on 26 May 1963. Up to now, the following now offices
have become known:
A. Railroads
1. East Railroad (draha vychodni) located at Pressburg
(Bratislava)
2. Central Railroad (draha stredni) located at Olmuetz (Olomouc)
3. Northwest Railroad (draha severozapadni) located at Prague
(Praha)
4. Southwest Railroad (draha jihozapadni) located at Pilsen
(Plzen).
B. Operating Departments (provozni oddil = PO)

Koeniggraetz (Hradec Kralove)
Pilsen (Plzen)
Bruenn (Brno)
Prerau (Prerov)
b) Operations
Duffing the operational difficulties in the winter, the trans-
loading volume achieved through the employment of soldiers was
as follows at Cierna n.T. border crossing station within the
period of two months:
70,000 tons of iron ore
7,000 tons of grain
2,000 tons meat
11,000 tons of other bulk goods.

The still existing shortage of cars is to be removed by increasing
repairs to be carried out at all car depots on specific days and by
the temporary discontinuation of the periodic car inspections,
c) Line Construction
(1) Within the framework of the rerouting of RR lines for the tapping
of new open-pit mines in the North Bohemian coal area, the
35 kilometer Obernitz (Obrnice)- Bilin (Bilina) - Tuermitz (Trmice)
line is being double-tracked'. The first 12 kilometer stretch between
Obernitz and Bilin is already under construction, while work on
the second stretch between Bilin and Tuermitz (23km) is to start
before long'. The double-tracking involves the building of about
200 structures (bridges,intersections,overpasses etc) since grade
crossings are to be eliminated. After the completion of the
improvement project the line capacity is to be increased 2 1/2 timea.
(2) The renovation of the last stretch of the Reichenberg (Liberec)
-Harrachsdorf (Harrachov) line has been completed to the extent
that the first freight train ran to Harrachsdorf on 26 May 1963
(beginning of the new timetable). Passenger train traffic, which
is still carried out by buses, will be introduced within the next
five years( see Transportation Summary for January 1963).
(3) In 1963, the renovation of a total of 800 track kilometers is
planned.
d) Electrification
For long-term electrification projects of the CSD and their
military significance, see Annex 5 with sketch.
e) Rolling Stock
Czechoslovak/Soviet discussions on the temporary exports cessation
of electric locomotives in favor of the urgent Czechoslovak home
requirements were apparently successful; no electric locomotives
were delivered to the USSR between January and March 1963. In
April 1963, the regular delivery was resumed ( see Transportation
Summary for April 1963).
2. Civilian Air Transport
In mid-January 1963, the Czechoslovak Air Lines (CSA) opened a second
air connection to Yugoslavia on the Prague (Praha)-Zagreb route, served
by IL-14s ( see Transportation Summary for December 1962).

Rolling Stock
(1) The production of steam locomotives for home requirements,
discontinued since 1957, together with the continuously rising
commercial transport requirements, the unsatisfactory delivery
of electric and particularly of diesel railcars, and with the
poor rate of locomotive repair works out more and more unfavorably.
Therefore, in late 1962, a major number of old German steam
locomotives of Type Ty-2 had to be purchased from the USSR
(officially designated emergency purchases). According to another
version, there are about 700 overhauled locomotives in good
state of repair concerned which have cost one million zloty each.
In the event of confirmation of this quantity, the stock of
Polish steam locomotives, estimated at about 5.500 units in
early 1963, would have increased by 10 per cent.
(2) In 1963,as in preceding years; some hundreds of steam locomotives
are to be modernized mainly with respect to reducing the coal
consumption.
(3) According to recent statements, the PKP is to reucive the
following motive power in 1963:
54 Electric locomotives ET-21
1 Electric locomotive of Prototype Universal Locomotive EU 07
(built under licence after the British EU-06
48 Electric railcar trains
35 Diesel locomotives (150 PS) )
51 Diesel locomotives (300/350 PS) domestic production
2 Diesel locomotives (800 PS, Prototype))
20 Diesel locomotives (600 PS) from Hungary (100 units ordered)
2 Diesel locomotives (2,000 PS) from Runania
11 Diesel rail car trains (350 PS) from domestic production
60 Diescl rail car trains (500 PS) from Hungary

Employ_ment_ of Integrated. Trains with. Automatic Gauze-Chan in&
Wheel Sets
1..The first Soviet train equipped with automatic gauge-changing
wheel sets Type TG-VI arrived in Frankfurt/Oder on 28 April
1963. Dispatched from Krivoi Rog to Eisenhuttenstadt
(formerly Fizrstenberg, located between Frankfurt/Oder and
Guben), this train consisted of approximately 20 Soviet
standard four-axle gondola cars of 23 tons tara and 60.tons
gross weight each.. Having an overall weight of 1,800 tons,
the train was 300 meters long and carried more than 1,000
tons of ore to the Eisenhuttenkombinat Ost (ore processing
combine).
The gauge adjusting operation took five to ten minutes, as
compared to a normal transloading time of approximately
30 hours.
Reportedly, no difficulties were experienced with the broad
gauge cars with Soviet vehicle gauge while passing either
through the area of the Polish State Railroads (PKP), that is,
the Terespol - Frankfurt/Oder stretch, or through Soviet Zone
Reichsbahn territory, that is, the stretch from Frankfurt/
Oder to Eisenhuttenstadt.
The known Soviet automatic gauge-changing wheel sets TG VI
TG-X differ from the operational East German DR-III set with.
regard to the interlocking mechanism. DR-III automatic
auge-changing wheel sets operate with fixed couplings
feststehende Verriegelung) with control pin, while the
Soviet sets operate with revolving couplings (umlaufende
Verriegelung).
Soviet efforts to develop and test gauge-changing wheel sets
are presumably motivated by
- The desire to speed up the 15--year-long development work,
which has resulted in the construction of the workable
DR-LII Soviet Zone model which has not yet reached the
mass production stage and
- Soviet intentions to produce their own design prior to a
fully-developed Soviet Zone model, so as to get their
share in the mass production and sale throughout the
East Bloc without having to go into major development
expenditures of their own.
.The first output target for a fully developed gauge-changing
wheel set in the area of the Soviet Bloc railroads is the
production of 40,000 units to equip approximately 10,000 cars.

Summary for May 1963
2. In connection with the arrival in the Soviet Zone of Occup-
ation of Germany of the first Soviet train equipped with
gauge-changing wheel sets, announcement was made of the
planned estqblishment, in 1963, of a joint Soviet - Soviet
Zone design bureau for gauge-changing wheel sets and central
buffer couplings.
To date,,development work on gauge-changing wheel sets was
performed within the framework of the VIth Commission of the
Organization for Cooperation of Railroads (OSShD), which is
headed by a Soviet Zone (East German) group. At the VIth
Commission's meetings, the Soviets have hitherto limited
themselves to posing the problems to be solved and checking
the progress made. The newly announced joint bureau is
believed to be designed to further Soviet interests in the
final solution of the problem.
3. In connection with the reported employment of Soviet gauge-
changing wheel sets, the following trains are reportedly
using the DR-III wheel sets in non-regular large-scale test
runs:
- The integrated, oil trains, consisting of 44 four-axle
tank cars each, operating between the Kuibyshev-Zaporoshye-
Klavelino area and Halle/Leuna;
- Three integrated ore trains, consisting of 36 gondola cars
each, operating between Krivoi Rog and EisenhUttenstadt;
and
- One integrated _train, consisting of 35 gondola cars,
operating between Krivoi Rog via Cierna n.T. to Ostrava,
Czechoslovakia.
This tends to indicate that, at present, not more than
approximately 1,000 DR-III and some 100 Soviet gauge-
changing wheel sets are employed in non=regular large scale
test runs. The objectives of these test runs are the
following:
- To subject each individual axle to a total of approximately
300 gauge-changing operations;
- To subject the gauge-changing wheel sets to endurance
tests over at least 50,000 kilometers and subsequent'
examination;
- To subject the tire systems (Radreifenbereich) to sharp
braking tests developing temperatures of 300 to 400
degrees Centigrade; and
- To run peak speeds of up to 100 km/h and mean speeds of
50-to 60 km/h.

Comments:
1. "Flest Berliners" in this case are West Berlin residents with
jobs approved by the Soviet Zone government, at hospitals,
theaters, etc, in East Berlin. In some specially authorized
cases, individual West Berliners may use crossing points,
other than mentioned above, if these are more convenient to
reach their place of work. No daily permits to enter East
Berlin are at present issued to West Berliners.
2. Resettlers from the Soviet Zone and East Berlin with resettler
permits for West Berlin usually pass through the Heinrich-Heine
crossing point. Sick and disabled persons are taken by
ambulance to Invalidenstrasse/Sandkrugbrucke Crossing Point.
3. Invalidenstrasse/Sandkrugbrucke Crossing Point is furthermore
,used by
- Soviet guards for the Red Army Memorial in West Berlin;
- West German residents and foreigners with special permits.
4. West German citizens and West Berliners are permitted to use
interzonal trains from and to Pest Germany to and from Frie-
drichstrasse RR Station. The ("neutral") arrival and departure
platform is located outside the control area. Likewise, West
Berliners may use international trains stopping at Berlin Ost-
bahnhof. However, West Berliners in the exceptional session
of a residence permit for the Soviet Zone are forced to travel
via `lest Germany.
II. Transfer point for inland shipping between .lest and East
Berlin is Muhlendamm on the Spree River.

Summary for May 1963
Survey 2: Soviet Zone Reichsbahn Maintenance Shous forLocomotives(and Railcars)
(Bahnbetriebswerke (Bws))
(Arranged according to Railroad Divisions, but numbered serially;
see also Sketch 2 attached).
Definition:
ahnbetriebswerke (B ) _LRailroad iaintenance Shols~.:
The Bws serve the current technical maintenance of motive power (locomotives
and rail motor cars) and control the employment of these. They also carry
out light repairs (casual repairs). Major casual repairs, periodical
inspections and overhauls are carried out by Reichsbahnausbesserungswerke
(RA17s).
Lokomotivbahnhoefe_(.Lokbfe Locomotive Yards
Locomotive yards are subordinate to Bws and make.available locomotives
parked during major pauses of employment. They include sheds and coal,
water and diesel oil supply points, but no repair installations. .
Of the approximately 200 locomotive yards of the Reichsbahn, only five,
downgraded from maintenance shops after 1956, have been listed in this
survey. .

Survey-3.: Soviet Zone Reichsbahn Maintenance Shops for Railroad
Cars (Bahnbetriebswagenworke
(Arranged according to railroad divisions, but
numbered serially; see also Sketch 3 attached)
Preliminary Note: Bwws are the home stations for passenger
train-cars due for technical maintenance. They-(and
WASs*)) also carry out light repairs (Bedarfsaus-
besserungen - casual repairs) of freight cars. Major
casual repairs, periodical inspections, and overhauls
are carried out by Raws.
Definition:
"Wagenausbesserungsstellen" (WASs) (Car Repair Points)
are located in the local district of former "mixed"
Bwwe, However, organizationally, economically, and with
regard to their personnel they are subordinate to Bwws.
They must not be confused with "Wagenmeistereien" ('arms).
The latter. are independent angenciee with no repair
installations available to them; together with their
subordinate "Wagenmeisterposten" (Wps) (car inspector
posts) they are in charge of RR car control of the
Reichsbahn. They are therefore not listed in this
survey.

Long-Term Electrification Projects of the CSD
.AND THEIR MILITARY SIGNIFICANCE
(For lay-out sketch, see attached map)
1. Of the prsent approximately 13,130 kilometer OSD (Czecho-
slovak State Railroads) standard-gauge network, approximately
1,200 track kilometers are electrified.
2. The current Five Year Plan provides for the electrification
of another 650 track kilometers by 1965. Plans for. 1965 -
1980 envisage the electrification of appr. 2,040 kilometers
so that the electrified network will total appr. 3,900
kilometers, which is about 30 per cent of the total CSD
network.
While the present electrified network is chiefly operated by
direct current (3,000 V), 25 kV - 50 kc alternate current is
to be employed south of the Karlsbad (Karlovy Vary) - Prague
line and south of the "Friendship Line" as far as Cierna n.T.
Even in consideration of the growing industrial efficiency in
Czechoslovakia, the fulfillment of this electrification
program appears doubtful. According to experience so far,
changes and deadline alterations are to be expected.
3. After 1968, it is planned gradually to discontinue steam
traction in favor of electric and diesel operations. The
share of the different train traction systems (Average
freight/passenger transportation) is planned to develop as
follows:
1961 1965 1980
___(In_percentae) ._,__.._.
Steam 65.1 25.0 -
Electric 30.7 51.4 Appr. 70
Diesel 4.2 23.6 .30
4.' In order to reach the planned tctal by 1980, the electrificat-
ion of the inland and transit lines with the heaviest freight
traffic has been and still is being focused'on the following
lines:
a) From the Ostrava coal and industry area around Ostrava
and Karvina to the southwest and southeast and to the
Polish border;
b) From the Bohemian coal mines around Teplitz, BrUx and
Falkenau to the south, southeast and north'to the Soviet
Zone of Occupation of Germany-.
c) Short-distance lines around Prague.

(Bratislava) Sturovo.
For routing of the lines, see attached sketch.
5. MLij.itarv Assessment
The electrification projects are exclusively governed by
economic considerations. However, the improvement of the
train control, signal, and telecommunications installations
on lines and RR stations, carried out within the framework
of the electrification projects, is of military significance.
The capacity, particularly of the second eastwest
transport route, essential for concentrations and supply
movements, increases through these improvements, especially
,as the so-called "Sudstrang" (southern line) will be double-
tracked gradually,
Considerable disturbances in electric train traction must be
taken into account in the event of a war. However, the
present modernization of the HR installations contribute to
increased steam and diesel train traction.
