Since 26 January 1952, nine shuttle trains with empty R and SS flatcars have been observed moving eastward through Frankfurt/Oder bound for Brest-Litovsk.

Germany (Russian Zone) There are three possible reasons for the movement of rolling stock. a. Shipments of tanks from the USSR to the Soviet Zone; between 30 December and 20 January, 57 tanks were transported westward via Frankfurt/Oder directly to Soviet units. b. Shipments of new trucks to the Soviet Zone; nearly 100 have been observed to date. c.
