Berlin - DR Steam Locomotive

A passenger train headed by a class 01 steam locomotive, on the elevated line through Berlin, near Zoologischer Garten (Zoo) station in West Berlin in March 1970. The locomotive is a 4-6-2 (2 C 1) Pacific type of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR), the East German state railroad. The class 01 locomotive was developed for express trains in the early 1920s.

 

I do not know whether this is an interzone train between West Germany and West Berlin, or an internal East German train traveling nonstop through West Berlin.
