Eisenbahnen im Baltikum (Railways in the Baltic States).

Ed.: Norbert Tempel. Münster. Lok Report.

The book describes the changing fate of the railways in the Baltic States from the beginning of railway construction around 1860 until today. Special emphasis is placed on the period from 1919 to 1940 with a broad presentation of locomotive history and detailed vehicle lists, in which about 500 steam locomotives of German origin alone are listed. The development of the extensive narrow-gauge network, which at its greatest extent covered more than 2,100 km in three gauges, and the fate of the railways in the Kaliningrad region after 1945 are also dealt with in detail.
