Reinhard Münch describes the development of the railway in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in this book. He recounts the construction of the rail network, the branch lines with their narrow-gauge railways, the Mecklenburg spa railway, and the not-so-fast "Rasender Roland." The book also explores whether being a train driver is a dream job and if winter is a beautiful time of year. The author vividly explains how an immobile train can be used, what the end of the RAF has to do with Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and the important role that Renate Fölsch once played.
