Douglas,

Nice set of photos.  I have been in the Hauptbahnhof in 2008, a very 
impressive/imposing place.

Subject: [Leica] IMG (BW):  Berlin - Railway and subway stations

Spent the weekend in Berlin with the missus and friends 
from Holland (and met the Hopkinsons from Australia on 
the Saturday, too).

Most of the day is spent taking the S-Bahn or the 
U-Bahn (suburban and subway trains) to get where you 
want to be.

Here are a few black & white impressions of the newest 
stations on the network.

The main station - Hauptbahnhof - not a station for the 
faint-hearted - if you look over the balustrades, there 
is an unbroken drop of around 60 metres to the lower 
level platforms.

New subway station in the government quarter 
(Bundestag), so far it only runs three stations, 
Hauptbahnhof, Bundestag and Brandenburg Gate).

Brandenburg Gate - the crush barriers are for the 
football fans who watched the European Cup on a big 
video wall

High-level platform, Hauptbahnhof - you can see one of 
the lower levels at centre bottom
