Rijdend tussen de fraaie gebouwen van het Berliner Museuminsel en geflankeerd door het eerste lentegroen van een treurwilg steekt een Regional Express van de Deutsche Bahn de rivier de Spree over. De trein is als RE2 onderweg van Cottbus naar Nauen.
Ondanks de affirmatie van de beeldbepalende treurwilg - 'Het Licht steunt mij altijd in verdriet' - is het hier zeker geen verdrietige bedoeling. Sterker nog: het is één van de meeste geliefde plekken voor bewoners en bezoekers van Berlijn om hier te vertoeven met het park om heerlijk te picknicken en de Berliner Dom, de talrijke musea en de gezellige terassen van de Hackescher Markt op steenworp afstand. Tijdens het maken van de foto is er echter nog weinig loos in het park. Het voorjaar is op deze 4e april 2025 erg pril en het is nog vroeg op de dag.
De spoorbrug heet voluit "Hackescher Markt Eisenbahnbrücke an der Spree" en behoort tot het tracé van de Berliner Stadtbahn. De Berliner Stadtbahn is 11,2 kilometer lang en loopt dwars door de binnenstad van Berlijn van west naar oost. De Stadtbahn is tussen 1875 en 1882 aangelegd als verbinding tussen de acht kopstations die Berlijn destijds telde om zodoende doorgaande treinverbindingen mogelijk te maken en de in die tijd al drukke kopstations te ontlasten. Omdat er weinig ruimte was voor de spoorlijn in het dichtbevolkte centrum van de stad is een deel van de Berlijnse vestingwerken gedempt is hier de Berliner Stadtbahn aangelegd. Bijgevolg slingert het traject via vele krappe bogen door de stad. De Stadtbahn kruist een malen de rivier de Spree. De hier getoonde foto nabij de Hackescher Markt is zondermeer de fraaiste.

A must-see in Hanoi is Train Street. This metre gauge single track rail link was opened by the French in 1902 and today provides main line long distance train access to Hanoi central station from the East. These large Bo-Bo diesel electrics were built by CKD in Prague to metre gauge for Vietnam Railways.
Trains pass just a few inches from watching crowds. Following a fatal accident late last year, the Police have tightened up on safety and security during the day - so now you have to be sitting in a trackside cafe as it passes, but at night no such restrictions exist and with the lanterns and lights of the tourist cafes swinging as they pass, night trains set out on their long journeys to far-away cities as you sip your cocktail or enjoy yet another egg-coffee.
