The main railroad
station of Wanne - Eickel was one of the eldest and most
important railroad - junctions in the Ruhr - district. The
station is being situated at the elder line from Cologne
to Minden.
Before the Second World war the "glass train",
a diesel - electric high - speed rail coach, a precusor
of the modern ICE, stopped in Wanne - Eickel.
But the main railroad station of Wanne - Eickel has lost
most of its importance since the beginning of the 1970s,
because the most railroad traffic was given to the modern
line about Bochum.

The mighty water - tower was pulled down in the mean time.
The photos of the steam engines come from the "day of
the open door" in the Westhafen (port) of Wanne.
