Very very last DR_57/CFR_50 Prussian G10 in regular use worldwide, Halmeu 29.12.1992

This was the reloading facility from Russian/Soviet gauge to 1435mm, in this case for coal and stuff that could simply be refilled. Halmeu was the romanian side of the important border crossing to the Soviet Union. I got arrested many times and each time returned next day ... until I got arrested again and had to destroy all of my films, except for this one: After a week of this cat and mouse game they finally permitted me to take images for 5 minutes. Here is the humble result. I still have another one but it needs to be scanned again.
