I. International Transport Relations
_ _ _ _
1. Soviet Bloc Link-UT of Tranuortation System
a) PlanninE
At present, the following targets are to be reached
through the link-up of the Soviet Bloc transportation
systems:
- Increase of border-crossing passenger and freight
traffic.
- Measures to reduce transport costs of bulk goods.
- Standardization of means of transportation.
- Joint employment of means of transportation.
- Structural change in train traction systems.
Plans for reaching these targets were discussed during
the following meetings:
(1) Ninth meeting of OSShD transport ministers1), in
Moscow, in late June 1964, with the following leaders
of delegations:
- Nancho Zineonov, Deputy Minister for Transport and
Communications, of Bulgaria;
- Lju Cheng-Tsao, Deputy Transport Minister of the
People's Republic of China;
- Pavel Bouda, Deputy Transport Minister, of
Czechoslovakia;
- Bat Otshanyr Gombosuren, Minister for Transport
and Communications, of the Mongolian People's
Republic;
- Kim Che Ir, Railroad Minister of North Korea;
- Ziong Bak Lien, Deputy Transport Minister of
North Vietnam;
Piot r Lewinski, Transport Minister, of Poland;
- Aron Dudash, Deputy Minister for Transport and
Communications, of Rumania;
- Erwin Kramer, Transport Minister, of the soviet
Zone of Occupation of Germany;
- Laszlo Feldvari, Deputy Transport Minister of
Hungary;
- Boris P. Beshchevl Transport Minister, of the
USSR.

Cooperation of OSShD Railroads Medical Services,
in Bucharest in early June 1964, under the chairman-
ship of Obermedizinalrat (senior health officer)

Soviet Zone transportation sector.
16th Meeting of the Standing Committee for COMECON 1)
Transportation, in Varna, Bulgaria, in early June 2
1964, with the delegations of all COMECON countries ),
The directors of the Common Truck Pool (this institu.7.-
?Aion was mentioned for the first time) and the
common ship charter agency submitted their annual
reports.
17th Meeting of the Standing Committee for COMECON
Transportation, in Warsaw from 24 - 27 July 1964.
Fifth Meeting of the Railroad Transport Section of
the Standing Committee for COMECON Transportation,
in Prague from 24 - 30. June 1964. The meeting was
attended by delegations from Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia,
Poland, Rumania, the Soviet Zone, Hungary and the
USSR, by delegations of Section 3 of the Standing
COMECON Committee for Machine Building, and for the
first time by representatives of the operational
office of the common freight car pool (01'11 (Obshchij
Park Vagonov).
(6) Meeting of the Standing Working Group for Air Transport
of the Standing Committee for COMECON Transportation,
in Leningrad from 13 - 19 May 1964.
b) OPW Military Effects.
The beginning of the OPW operations on 1 July 1964 has
brought the Soviet Bloc much closer to one of its link-up
targets, i.e., the joint employment of means of transport.
Some initial results allow for first conclusions to be
drawn with regard to the military effects of this pool.
(1) In Bad Schandau on 1 July 1964, out of 526 OPW cars
scheduled for border crossing transport, 48 had to
be withdrawn because of various damages. This
involved additional switching and caused the delay
of 11 trains.
These initial difficulties must not be overestimated
as regards the military significance of the OPW pool.
The withdrawn cars were only gondola and box cars but
no flat and heavy-duty flat cars suitable for
typically military shipments.. The latter type cars
have so far not been incorporated in the OPW; their
maintenance is still given priority:, and they are
operable at any time, However, it is probable that,
by order of the military transport office for the
total Warsaw Pact areal the movements of the pre-
eminently militarily importp.nt flat cars, heavy-duty
flat cars, tank cars ambulance and other special

Poland, Rumania, Soviet Zone, Hungary and USSR.
Albania has not taken part in the meeting of the
Transport Committee since 1962..)

cars are supervised by the NY central control
office in Prague. This assumption is founded on the
following fact:
The Prague OTU Operations Office's modern communicat-
ions equipment for the accomplishment of its normal
tasks could also be utilized for the control of the
militarily most essential types of rolling stock
without these cars being incorporated officially in
the OPW and bearing special designations.
(2) On 7 July 1964, soldiers were detrained from
Bulgarian freight cars at Wildpark railroad station
(Soviet Zone). This was probably connected with the
interchangeable employment of border-crossing freight
cars according to OPV/ regulations. It is therefore
to be expected that loaded freight cars of a Soviet
Bloc country arriving loaded in another Soviet Bloc
country will be employed on the latter's railroad -
system for commercial as well as military purposes,
Previously, the receiving railroads were bound to
return all freight cars to their home country
immediately after unloading. This regulation is
still valid for all freight cars not incorporated in
the OPW. The designation of the originating country
or of the owning railroad administration on an OPW
freight car carrying troops in another Soviet Bloc
country is, therefore, not indicative of the national-
ity of these troops.
c) Points of Main Efforts.
(1) In line with the development of a Fliform European
automatic central buffer coupling ), a problem -
presently under consideration is how to switch over
from the current screw coupling to the new system.
Sofar two proposals have been submitted:
(a) The proposal of the French State Railroads is
based on the assumption that there will be old
and new -type coupling vehicles in usefsimultana_
_ously for a prolonged period of time? it
suggests that all cars should be equipped with an
auxiliary- device designed to connect both systems
during the period of transition. .
(b) For economy reasons, the German Federal Railroads'
proposal envisages a short-term conversion within
a period of a few days, making an intermediate
solution, requiring additional costs, unnecessar:;c,

It is assumed that the Soviet Bloc Railroads' views
on this subject will again be decisive, as was the
'developmental
workwhen at the beginning of the joint developmental
work the Joint Working Group OSShD/UIC 1) decided on
the coupling capability of the future uniform European
coupling system with the Soviet SA-3 system.
(2) Danube SM2.042E1
(a) In Bucharest on 16 July 1964, Rumania and
Yugoslavia signed an agreement on the construction
of two hydroelectric power plant, a dam, and two
locks in the Iron Gate region 2), The instruments
of ratification were deposited by Rumanian
Minister for Mining and Electricity AlMasan and
Yugoslav Industry Minister Bajkovic 3).
(b) On 1 July 1964, the Czech Danube Shipping Company
opened two regular ship lines, ice., the
Bratislava - Budapest route, taking 3.5 hours,
and the Bratislava - Vienna route, taking one hour.
The lines are served by Soviet type Raketa, hydro-
foil boats.
( )
Border Crossings
The Polish and Soviet Zone transport ministries are
negotiating the establishment Of joint railroad
stations at Kilstrin (Kostrzyn), Guben (Gubin) and
Horka. The joint border-crossing control measures and
customs inspection are to reduce the costs and to
accelerate the border crossing traffic.
(4) Division of Work in the Construction of Means of
Tranu2EI.
(a) Rumania is to deliver to Poland 30 diesel locomot-
ives of 2,100 PS each, valued at 40 million DM. -
The locomotives are being built ander licence by
the firms of Sulzer, Switzerland, .and Brown-Boveri
West Germany. .
(b) In conformity with the directives of pertinent
COMECON bodies, the Hungarian State Railroads had
to place their 1964 orders for freight cars with
the Rumanian, Bulgarian and Czech railroad car
industry.
(c) The Soviets have promised to deliver 20 x 2,000 PS
diesel locomotives to Hungary in the course of
1964.

2. Soviet Bloc Transport Relations to Outside Countries
All Soviet Bloc countries are continuing efforts to
establish further contacts with Western and uncommitted
countries in an attempt to play a dominating role in inter-
national bodies of the transportation sector.
a) Aid in the PlaLLing_and Construction of Transport Routes
_ _ _
(1) The USSR intends to deliver rolling stock to Turkey.
(2) The 662-kilometer Conakry - Kankan, Guinea, railroad
line was improved with Soviet assistance.
(3) Route surveying of the Mazar-I-Sharif Shibarghan
highway in northern Afghanistan was completed by
Soviet experts.
(4) With the assistance of about 200 Soviet experts, the
Kabul - Charikar stretch of the new highway connect-
ing, Kabul, Afghanistan, with Tomes, USSR, was
completed. The 8-meter wide road has a concrete
surface. There are, at present, about 2,700 Soviet
engineers and experts engaged in road, railroad and
airport construction in Afghanistan.'
(5) In Iraq, a repair shop for diesel locomotives,
passenger and freight cars was built with Soviet
assistance.
(6) The USSR has given technical and personnel assist-
ance to Indonesia in the construction of five high-
ways of a total length of 700 kilometers on the
Island of Kalimantan (Borneo).
(7) Soviet experts are designing a 360-kilometer railroad
line which is to connect Kouroussa, Guinea, with
Bamako, Mali, via Siguiri, Guinea.
In the above cases, Soviet aid includes the sending of
experts, the delivery of material, machinery and means
of transport, and the granting of loans.
b) Tra4E2prt Relations with Western and Uncommitted
Countries "-
(1) Trans pa Negotiations and Agreements
(a) Soviet and Norwegian authorities have negotiated
trips Of Soviet tourists' boatS to Norwegian
fjords. In the summer of 1964, a ship accommod-
ating about 600 persons is scheduled to make two
trips, calling at Kirkenes, Hammerfest,_TromsO,
Harstad and Narvik.
(b) Soviet State Airline AEROFLOT and Swedish
Scandinavian Airlines System have agreed not
to carry charter flights between Seandinavia
and the USSR in the summer of 1964. Howeve,
organized tours will be granted the same reduced
prices On regular plane service as with charter
flights.

Czech State Airline CSA has. recently offered to
Western airlines to use Bratislava airport as
emergency airport for Vienna. (See Transportation
Summary for Rj 19647 para I, 2,b) (1).
Czechoslovakia and Austria are about to conculde
a highway transport agreement.
The Yugoslav shipping agencies YUGOLINIYA in
Riyeka and SLOBODNA PLOVIDBA in Split have come
to an agreement with the Bulgarian State agency
DESPRED according to which Bulgarian shipments to
the Near, Middle and Far East will be carried by
Bulgarian vessels from Varna or Burgas to Riyeka,
where they will be transshipped to Yugoslav
vessels for further transportation to the ports
of destination. Shipments in the opposite direct-
ion will be treated accordingly.
In Bucharest, Rumania and Austria came to an
agreement on border crossing freight traffic by
road.
In Sofia, Bulgaria and West Germany signed admin-
istration agreements on freight transport by
road between the two countries.
In line with the re-establishment of normal
relations between Bulgaria and Greece, which had
been disrupted for 20 years, several agreements
were concluded in the transport sector. They
include the joint utilization of rivers in the
border area; the construction of a railroad line
from Kulata, Bulgaria, to Sidirokastron,Greece
- another line connecting the two countries
between Plovdiv and Pythion via Svilengrad/Dikea
had already been available; mutual preferential
treatment in using the ports; opening of air
transport butween the two countries; and con-
struction of a new bridge over the Bistrica River
on the Kulata Sidirokastron highway, by late
1965.
(2) T.,.Lansport Relations
(a) On 16 July 1964, AEROFLOT, USSR, opened regular
flight service between Moscow and Baglidaa, Iraq,
with intermediate stop in Damascus, Syria. Te
route is served once per week by an IL-18 plane
taking a bare seven hours including the stop in
Damccus,.(See Transportation Summary for April
1964, para I,2,b).

(b) Since 13 July 19649 express goods .conveyance
between West Germany and the USSR has also been
discontinued via the Hungarian, Rumanian and
Bulgarian border crossing stations. Since 9 June
1964, shipping of such goods had already been
discontinued via Poland. (See Transportation
Summary for June 1964, para
Internal motives of the Soviet Bloc railroad
administrations concerned were the cause of those
measures. The volUme of these shipments had so
far been insignificant.
(c) Hungarian State Airline MALEV has opened a new
air connection between Budapest and Milan, Italy.
(d) MALEV airlines and the Scandinavian Airlines
System (SAS), Sweden, cooperate in the sale of
air tickets. At present, MALEY is serving the
Hungarian - Scandinavian route by its own;
however, SAS is making efforts to join the
service at an equivalent proportion.
(e) Yugoslav YAT airline opened another regular
Belgrade - Zagreb - Prague (Czechoslovakia) -
Copenhagen (Denmark) air service on 5 July 1964.
The line is served once per week (sundays) by a
Caravelle.
New TEEM (Trans-Europ Express Marchandises)
(trans-European express good trains) have been
introduced for Yugoslav meat and fruit shipments
to Scandinavia. According to the timetable,
these trains cover the Belgrade - Budapest -
Prague - Bad Schandau (Soviet Zone) - Sassnitz -
Stockholm route in 64 hours. Previously, these
goods were routed via Jcsenice - Rosenbach
(Austria) - Salzburg - MUnchen (West Germany) -
Puttgarden - Rodby (Denmark). The entire Belgrade-
- Stockholm distance was then covered in 77 hours.
A gain of 13 hours plays a decisive role in the
choice of transport routes for perishable food.
(g) In mid-July 1964, Polish State airline LOT flew
approximately 550 children of Polish descent from
Paris and Lille, France, into holiday camps in
Poland.
(h) A 175-kilometer stretch of the 675-kilometer
Rawalpindi - Gilgit (West Pakistan) highwy has
recently been completed. This strategically
important road is to be open to traffic the year
round. Running along the West Pakistan - Chinese
border it has access to the Chinese highway
system. (See Transportation Summary for March

c) Border Crossing Traffic
Czechoslovakia continuos in her efforts to facilitate
the entry from West Germany and Austria into Czecho-
slovakia by opening new border crossing points.
(1) Between Schafberg near Furth i.W., West Germany,
and Folmava, Czechoslovakia, a new road border
crossing point was opened with a capacity of
clearing 1,200 motor vehicles a day. A 9-meter
long bridge spanning the Varme Pastritz River
near the border has been opened to traffic. The
bridge has an alleged capacity of 60 tons. (See
Transportation Summary for March 19649 para 193,3
(2) During discussions of local Czech and Bavarian
authorities in late July 1964, the Czech announced
that they intended to reopen the Bayrisch Eisenstein
(West Germany) - Zelezna Ruda (Czechoslovakia) border
crossing point in 1965. This border crossing point
had been closed for 20 'years. Its reopening would
establish a through connection between MUnchen
(Munich) and Praha (Prague) via Landshut Deggendorf
- Regan - Zwiesel on West German Highway No 11 and
furtheron via Klatovy - Plzen.
The sixth Czech/Austrian border crossing point was
opened at Grammetten, Austria, and Nova Bystrice,
Czechoslovakia. Being connected with Austrian
Federal Highway ,No 40, this border crossing point
has shortened the traveling time between Vienna and
Prague by about four hours.

cranebuilding yard- builds cargo vessels and
barges for the Egyptian Nile River Fleet. Four
units have already been delivered and another
three are under construction.
(c) India has placed a designs and delivery order
for 55 railroad bridges to Hungary.

e) Tourism
The marked Soviet Bloc attempts to increase their hard
currency, revenues for services rendered have been
extended to the activation of tourist traffic from
Western countries. Efforts made to this end differ
greatly from the former methods of dealing with
tourism:
(1) In Rumania, branch offices of the State Bank issue
tourist checks in lei in exchange for freely
convertible currencies. With those checks, tourists
may buy goods at a 20-percent reduction in specific
shops.
Furthermore, holders of tourist visa are granted a
200 percent rate of exchange for hard currency
compared with the official rate.
Twenty nine representatives of the loading United
States travel agencies have made arrangements with
the Rumanian State Tourist Office OUT - CARPATI.
Soviet Zone state travel agency Reisobilro der DDR
has concluded representation contracts with about
10 Unitud States travel agencies.
Polish state travel agency Orbis in Scandinavia
is advertising the Polish Amber Coast", that is
the coastal stretch between Swinoscae ( SwinemlAnde)
and Gdarisk (Danzig).
Polish State Airline LOT grants considerably
reduced flight rates to individual foreigners
staying at least five days in Poland.
However, in contrast to these apparently positive
measures, all kind of existing travel restrictions, and
even the possibility of arbitrary arl'ests of foreign
tourists, still bear heavily upon the personal security
of holiday traviers in the Soviet Bloc countries.

to construct a tunnel through the Caucasus south of
Taberda. Preparatory work and surveying for the new
line allegedly started in the fall of 1963.
(2) The entire Moscow Ring (outer railroad ring) is at
present being modernized, electrified and double-tracked.
fork is to be completed by late 1966. Upon completion,
this 537-kilometer long ring will overpass or under-
pass 11 railroad lines, 40 highways and several rivers,

2. Road Transportation
Road Construction
a. Between 1959 and 1963, about 5,0D0 road kilometers_re-
ceivad a tar surface, and approximately 42,000 meters of
bridges were constructed in the Ukraine. About 25 per cent
of all 'public roads' have a solid surface. Construction
of wooden bridges has been discontinued since 1951.
b. In the area of the Russian SFSR, about 7,500 meters of
bridges are to be constructed in 1964, and about 39,000
kilometers of roads, mainly republic, rayon and local
roads, are to receive a solid surface.
c. An about 2,000 kilometerqlong highway is under construction
between lioscow and Chelyabinsk. It will cross the dam
of the hydro-electric power plant at Kuybyshev, Shiguli
district. The lioscov - Kuybyshev, the Kuybyshev - Sernovodsk,
and the C'aelyabinsk - latoust, stretches are to be opened
to traffic still in 1964.
In a:dition, a new highway is under construction between
ik)scow and Volgograd.. This about 1,000-kilometer long hi-h-
way is to by-pass all major cities. The by-pass at Kashira
and the Tambov -ilichurinsk Stretch are to be opened to
traffic in 1965.
3, Inland Shippinz
a. Shipping is in full swing in both directions on the Volga -
Daltic Canal, opened on 7 June 1964, via the 128 kilometer
long Koscow - Volga Canal, with 5.5 meter mean depth, and
11 sluices of 290 m 30 x 5.5 meters, large vessels can
reach Eoscow. Still in 1964, the freight volume carried
along this waterway is to exceed three million tons,
mostly consisting of lumber, grain, salt, cfude oil,coal
and ore.
In order to handle the fastgrowing freight traffic between
the Baltic and the Black Sea along the Canal, an ef2icient
inland fleet of vessels for dry goods and tankers, of a
carrying capacity of 3,000 - 5,000 tons, is being built.
In addition, 2,000-ton barges are to be built, designed
to be pushed along this direct north-south route in con-
soliCated special tug-and-tows of packs of four to eight
paired units.
For passenger traffic between Leningrad - Petroavodsk -
Gorkiy - Kuybyshev - Saratov - Volgograd - Astrakhan or
Rostov, nine large modern diesel vessels are to be employed
in 1964, including the F. L]NG._]LS, U. 00G:2L, A. N-]VSKIY,
and CIOLKOVSKIY.

Furthermore, increased employment of the about 130 hydro-
foil boats of the following tsnes is scheduled for passenger
traffic:
SPUTNIK (speed of up to 66.5 kilometers/hour, accomo_cidatijL
300 passengers),
RAIETA (speed of up to 75 kilometers/hour, accomodating 66
passengers),
ITETEOR (speed of up to 75 kilometers/hour,accomodating 150
passengers).
b. 5 new hydro-foil boat of type . el:ET has recently boon
launched from the Krasnoe Sormovo shipyard in Gorki:i. This
:type is the first gas-turbine propelled hydrofoil. It attains
110 km/h speed and accomodates 150 pasengors. The first
KOLII models arc to be employed on the Volga - Baltic Canal.
c. A railroad ferry service, similar to the ferr: service on the
Caspian Sea, is to be est:blishcd between Odessa, USSR, and
Varna, Bulgaria, in the dear future. Trienty freight cars are 'L.)
to be carried over on this new about 400 kilometer long Black
Sea route within 15 hours. The regular railroad route via
Rumania requires three to four days.

Reichsbahn had to establish a separate S-Dahn service in
.est Berlin. Those 3-Bahn trains are running on the
relatively short stretches of ,est Berlin territory while,
prior to 13 August 1961, numerous S-Bahn trains served
:est Berlin traffic in connection with their runs between
the Soviet 'Lion() border areas and East Berlin. Duo to the
.setting up of two 3-Bahn services, the number of S-Eahn
trains has increased by 35.8 per cent. :Expressed in
train/kilometers, the operational performance has re=-
mained almost stable for the folloying -:-easons:
- The S-Bahn stretches closed , , in August 1961 have been
replaced bysome new stretches.
- The Roichsbahn has not decreased its S-Bahn runs in est
Berlin despite the boycott of the Jest Berliners.
However, the total figure expressed in axle kilometers
of the entire S-Bahn net has steadily decreased as a result
of the shortage of S-Bahn cars. Due to the increasing
number of S-Bahn trains operated, the individual trains -
especially in ;est Berlin - are shorter than previously.
(2) For the first time, a mi1i'6ar-j shipment was observed moving
from Derlin,Adlershof to Bernau, and possibly, to Reichs-
bahn Division Greifswald in early July 1964. Even though,
according to official announcements, the new Berlin=
Adlershof freight station is to serve primarily as -Unload-
ing station southeast' and to take over 6he civilian
freight traffic of Berlin.GrUnau, Berlin.Schoneweide, and
Berlin=Spindlersfeld, it is to be assumed that its in-
stallations have been expanded for military requirements.

Dornim,Grube railroad station on the western section of
the Berlin Outer Ring (Line 104c) was converted into a
block post on 10 July 1964. Only the automatic block signals
are still in operation, while the entry and departure
signals are not, indicating that no passengers can get
off or on trains and that no railroad cars are added or
detached at Dornim,Grube.

stream of Sandau (UU 0153) and the lower Havel River
have been closed in various places on several days
(See Paragraph III, 5 of this Summary). As a con-
sequence, inland shipping between -'est Berlin and the
Federal Republic of Germany, which handles about 23
per cent of the annual 'Jest Berlin freight traffic
from and to Berlin (in June 1963, as much as 45 per cent),
was completely interrupted. (See Tpt. Summary for June
1964).
As soon as the dropping of the water level necessitates
discontinuation of shipping on the :lbe River down-
stream of lagdeburg, inland shipping between 7est Berlin
and the Federal Republic of Germany will again be
interrupted, since the waterway to Berlin via the idittel-
land Canal is routed on the ]lbe River between Magdeburg=
Rothensee shiplift and the Havel ,River mouth.
,lready now, barges are loaded less than 50 per cent
of their carrying capacity. Efforts arc therefore
being made to transport part of the freight by road.
Contrary to the winter of 1963/64, the iTeichsbahn,
possibly because of own heavy demands has not yet taken
over freight trains in addition to the 13 regular
freight trains running daily from Helmstedt to Berlin.
:Is a result, a large number of freight trains destined
to 'lest Berlin are awaiting processing by the Bundesbahn
(Federal Railways).
(2) Civilian Air Traffic Between Aest Berlin and the
Federal Republic of Germany
During the first half of 1964, 1,197,633 passengers
used the two 71est Berlin airports Derlin=Tempelhof
and Derlin,Tegel, that is an increase of more than
15.7 per cent compared with the same period in 1963.
The number of take-offs and landings incl'eased according-
ly to a total of 28,932, that is an increase of 17
peracent-compared with the 1963 figures.
During the present summer vacation traffic, about 200
daily take-offs and landings are performed at the two
;est Berlin airports. .
The airlines carrying charter flights for travel
agencies transported about 20 per cent more passengers a:
during the first six months of 1964 than in the same
period in 1963. .lithin the framework of these charter
?flights, a seasonal air line is flown every Sunday
from Berlin=Tempolhof- to aibeck with bus connection to
and from Travemtimde. In their protests against t':ie

The slight decrease in the share of inland shipping in the total
freight volume reflects the impediment. this mode of transportation
suffered through icc at the beginning of the year and through low
water in June and July 1964.
Theshares of the three inland modes of transportation in the
total transport .performance in ton/kilometers differ widely from
the breakdown of the total amount of freight transported because,
as a result of the strict control of the Soviet one freight
traffic, motor vehie traffic is mostly used for feeding and dis-
tributing goods to/railroads over short distances, while the
railroads carry primarily goods over long distances. In 1962,
the share of the railroads in the total tonnage of freight trans-
ported by the three modes of inland transportation was 45 per cent,
but ambunted to 82.7 per cent with regard to transport capacity.

a. Organi-ation and L;tructure
The former railroad maintenance shops (Bahnbetriebswerke -Bw)
Leip:ig=Plagwitz and Leilyig=Dayerischer Bahnhof have been
disbandecf as independent agencies and converted into
--Lok-Anstat stellen- (operating pool of locomotives).
Lok-Einsita.stelle Leip.ig=PlagwitL, is now subordinate to Bw
Leip ig=7:ahren, and Leipig:=Bayerischer Bahnhof to Bw Leipig
Hauptbahnhof
For the followin already existing operating pool of locomo-
tives (Lok-Einsatzstelle) previously called ''Lokbahnhof =
locomotive station, the subordination has been changed as

This reorgani.ation is connected with the change in the
train traction service, which, through the gradually increasing
employment of electric and diesel locomotives for lino
service and switch service, results in a slow decrease in
the steam locomotive pool.
During the past ten years, electric train operations started
from Leip ig traffic entral,on the following lines:
LeipA.g - Halle - Eagdeburg and/or Eitterfeld
atterfeld, - Rosslau and/or lu.ldentein
Leipig Grosskorbetha - Halle and/or -;eisf,enfels
Leipig 'rerdau Wickau and/or Reichenbach (Vogtland)
with connections to Neukieritzsch - Borna, and Bohlen near
13spenhain.
(Above list is not in chronological order).
The changeover to electric traction in the LeipLig area has
had favourable effects, all the more since in this area
diesel switch locomotives have also been introduced at an
increased scale.

b. Operations and Traffic
E2LUonalLand_2-r-tuation
By taking over transports of the inland shipping, which
the latter could not fulfill because of low water as well
as by the organied vacation traffic 71ad military trans-
ports (see Paragraph (2)), the Reichsbahn had to fulfill
additional operational demands.
Except for the effects of the long-lasting heat wave re-
sulting in delays at track construction sites, signal
breakdowns and warping of tracks, no major operational
troubles have become known.
Duo to the continuing difficulties in meeting the demand
for freight cars at the scheduled time, Deputy Transport
ninister Arndt again asked the Reichsbahn repair shops
and Reichsbahn maintenance shops to reduce the quota of
damaged cars and furthermore ordered the Reichsbahn operative
train traction department to accelerate the unloading of
service coal cars by setting up reserve coal depots.
(2) The Soviet Army had the largest share in the military
demand on the Reichsbahn. Despite numerous GSFG exercies
in the northwestern and western areas of the Soviet `:one,
and NVA exercises in the entire southern area of the Soviet
_,one, the demands on the Reichsbahn did not surpass the
level normal for this period of the. year.
So far, there have been no signs, such as equipping and
making available of boxcars and dispatch of forerunners
for personnel and dependents, indicative of the OSFG
personnel rotation usually taking place in the month
of July.
c. Line Extension
(1) In connection with the electrification of the Dlankenburg
(ilarz) Konigshate stretch (about seven kilometers before
Tanne railroad station) of Line 205a, the following
extensions (sue also Tpt. Sum-Jary for larch 1963) are
underway or scheduled
Line 205 a
- Equipping of Elbingrode Jest, nttenrode, and Iiichaele-
stein railroad stations with 450 meters crossing rails;
- Construction of a.single-track by-pass around the
Dielstein tunnel between Raeland and nttenrode
becausethe lowering of the tunnel floor to enable
installation of the overhead lines would be too
costly;
- New construction of Blanhenburg Nord railroad station
with six tracks to enable changing of locomotives.

1964 after a closing period of 22 dap. Originally, the
closing was scheduled to last until/J-dly 1964. (See Tpt.
Summary for Juno1964).
b. As a result of the continuing drought since hay 1964, the
water level of the rivers and the water table has fallen
far below the average. Inland shipping could employ only a
fraction of its carrying capacity, and in some places inland
shipping had to be discontinued. Because of the critical
water level of the "Elbe River, the vessel draught was put at
0.90 meters and less. As a result, freight barges are stuck
for many kilomters especially in the nagdeburg area. rater
pumped in from C.Lech- reservoirs failed to raise the water
level.
On the following -Elbe-River stretches regular inland shipping
has already been discontinued sincelate hay/early June 1964:
Beginning 29 iday, from the Czech/Soviet Zone border (kilo-
meter 0.00) to Riesa (kilometer 109.4).

Beginning 2 June 1964, from the mouth of the Schwarze laster
River to the area of Hagdeburg=Rothensee (kilometer 332.8).
The water level of Elbe River at Dresden having fallen as
low as 54 centimeters, passenger shipping had to be discon-
tinued upstream Dresden in late July 1964.
If the'dr9!Ught continues, it is to be expected that the entire
inland shipping will be discontinued downstream of hagdcburg.
c. Through regulating measures by the Soviet Sone authorities,
the water level- of. the lower Havel River has been kept high
enough for inland shipping.

shipping transports are carried out, 40 - 50 per cent of the

1. Railroad Traffic
a) Line Construction
Construction is under way on all five sections
of the Vojany Haniska broad-gauge line (see
Monthly Transportation Summary for January 1964,
Paragraph 1.c).
Great difficulties are being encountered on the
third section (Trebisov - Kalsa). This planned
route has been surveyed, but as yet no geological
investigation has been carried out.
On the second section (Budkovce - Trebisov), between
Bracovce (EU 624888) and Lozin (EU 618902), filling
material for the railroad dam must be brought from
a distance of twelve kilometers. Transportation is
impeded by heavy dust so that the speed of 50 km/h,
required for the conveyance of 500 cubic meters of
material per truck/shift, cannot be reached.
On the fifth section (Bohdanovce - Haniska), between
construction kilometers 82 and 84, a bridge construction
team (stationed in Nizna Mysla) is being employed
frr the building of short overpasses. They are
also building a railroad bridge across the Torysa
River. Fully equipped with Soviet trucks and MAZ-K61
cranes, the team is instructed by Soviet experts.
Until early July 1964, the Soviet Union has made
available more than 250 major building machines and
trucks. AltDgether, a delivery of about 1,500
Soviet machines and other equipment items is
scheduled.

c) Roadbed
In late 1963, the length of seamless tracks on the
Czech railroad net (CSD) amounted to 4,464 kilometers.
With 600 track kilometers to be welded together'in 1964,
20 per cent of the Czech track net will be seamless in
late 1964; 53 per cent of the main railroad line
(Friendship Line) are already equipped with seamless
tracks.
d) Railroad Stations
The expansion of the Bohmisch TrUbau (Oeska Trebova)
railroad station into the largest Czech switchyard
has made good progress, the first section with 16
classification tracks having been opened to traffic
on 15 July 1964. In the final planning, the railroad
station is to be equipped with an automatic control
system and 30 classification tracks.
e) Electrification
(1) The Oldrichov - Louka u.L. alternative stretch of
the electrified Aussig (Usti n.L.) Briix (Most)
linelopened to regular traffic in early June 1964,
is being used so far only for empty cars for
coal transports from Brux (Most). Passenger trains
on these lines are hauled by steam locomotives
because of the shortage of electric locomotives.
(2) After the electrification of the Sillein (Zilina)
Detmarovice line, construction at the Ostrau
(Ostrava)/ Kuncice Polanka n.Q. line has been taken
up by the "Electrification of Railroads" enterprise
(see Monthly Transportation Summaries for May. 1964
and Noveffiber 1963).
( 3)
The laying of the overhead line for the Velim -
Pecky Podebrady closed test line, which has
been under construction since early 1963,
was completed in June 1964. Test runs, of electric
locomotives can be expected very soon, (See
Monthly Transportation Summary for February 1963)..

In early July 1964, the coal storage at locomotive
depots (BW. Railroad Maintenance Shop) for the
1964/1965 winter has reached a point that several
depots were filled to capacity and were unable to
unload further supplies.
g)
Rolling Stock
At the test run of the first series of the type

the next Five Year Plan (1966-1970). The
diesel locomotives, 1,030 of which have a rated
capacity of more than 800 HP, are to replace the
steam locomotives in long-distance traffic.
(2) At present, some two-axle freight cars (carrying
capacity 21 tons) with polyethylene glass
superstructures are being tested at the PKP.
These plastic superstructures - with metal frames
reduce the dead weight of the cars by 400 to 300
kilograms as compared with the conventional wooden
cars, The polyethylene material is manufactured
in various colors so that the cars need no

0 Reconstruction and Modernization of Arterial Roads
From Warsaw
Reconstruction and modernization of Warsaw's arterial
roads, in part already under way, will continue in the
years to come. Most of them are to be completed
within the next Five Year Plan (1966-1970).
- Reconstruction of the 46-kilometer long Warsaw -
Janki (DC 935 767) - Grojec (DC 904 466) road is to
be completed by 1964. The road will be widened and
provided with a new surface;
- Construction at the so-called Poznan stretch (Warsaw
Poznan connection) is said to have made considerable
progress. In 1964, a 15-kilometer long section
from Oltarzew (DC 8585) is to be reconstructed;
Lowicz. (DC 2874) is to be reached by 1966.
Modernization of this much used line, leading to
Lodz, is scheduled for 1967;
- Reconstruction of the Vistula River Highway,
running along the left Vistula River bank to
Medlin (DD 7810) has been started in cooperation
with waterway experts. At present, the Lomianki
(DC 920 994) - Czosnow (DD 816 050) section is
being widened and modernized. Reconstruction
of the section is to be completed as far as Modlin
by 1965. The elevated road is also to serve as a
dam against flooding;
- Construction of the Warsaw - Plock expressway.
(See Monthly Transportation Summary for November
1961, Paragraph VI 2). The old Warsaw - Zakroczym
(DD, 7410) - Wyszogrod. (DD 4505) road, running
along the left Vistula River bank, is being improved
to an expressway by thorough reconstruction. The
Zakroczym Wyszogrod section is to be completed
by 1965. Representing the shortest Warsaw -
Plock connection, the expressway is to be opened
to traffic in two years;

Annex t to Transportation
Summary for July 1964
Soviet Zone Highway Bridges Across Elbe River
1. At the end of World War II, numerous Elbe bridges were either
destroyed or heavily damaged. During the first years after the
war, the most important bridges were temporarily restored
with detachable and heavy war-time bridge equipment. With the
exception of the Wittenberge railroad bridge and the Torgau highway
bridge, this state of affairs has not been changed up to the
present time. The "Strom.Bracke" in Magdeburg is being replaced
by a new structure; its completion is scheduled for around 1965.
The 1959 - 1965 Seven Year Plan provides for the removal of all
war-time bridge equipment and for its replacement by permanent
steel structures. However, the realization of this program
appears impossible in view of the fact that, at presenty there
is not even steel enough available for the planned new bridge
structures (Lutherstadt Wittenberg and Torgau).
River-kilometers counting begins at the Soviet Zone/Czech
border and not at the source of the Elbe River in Czechoslovakia.
The heavy Reichsbahn bridge testing train !S! consists of
one locomotive with five axle loads of 25 tons each and
a following equally distributed load of 8 -10 t/a.
