waiting for the train in Germany

This beautiful postcard comes via Postcrossing and was sent by a man who has traveled much of Germany by train, and many other places as well. He writes how he even visited Berlin when it was like an island with its wall. I love the train tracks; there is something very romantic about cross-country trains. Too bad the US doesn't have such a romance-inducing system... Thanks to my niece Caitlyn for the translation help.
