The medical train
The medical train, also called “Katastrophenzug”, “catastrophe train” in English, is a set of railway carriages that were used as an ambulance and mobile hospital. There were 14 trains which were used during the first and second world wars, distributed all over the former German Democratic Republic. Unfortunately, most of those K-trains were scrapped by now. This one is preserved and looked after by a non-profit association which deals with the preservation of historical rail vehicles.
