Prototype information

On August 11, 1866, the "Quaibahn" / "Dock Railroad" from the former Berlin Station in Hamburg to the "Sandtorquai" / "Sand Gate Dock" was opened. This was not only the birth of today's modern harbor, in that for the first time freight could be offloaded directly from the ship into warehouses and onto the railroad, it was also the nucleus of the currently largest railroad harbor in Europe.
