Not just for trainspotters: These awesome monochrome and colored photos of railways and railway situations in Hamburg, Germany were taken by photographer Walter Hollnagel between 1947 and 1958. This is just a small selection of a variety of photos you can find in the picture library of German ‘Eisenbahnstiftung Joachim Schmidt‘.
