Bebra station

Bebra in North Hesse is a railway junction at the intersection of major German long-distance connections. Bebra's significant period came after World War II when the shift in traffic flows to the north-south direction greatly increased the load on the station and the tracks, and the elite of the federal railway's steam locomotive fleet was stationed in Bebra. Additionally, Bebra served for many years as a border station for inter-zonal trains and freight traffic with East Germany. Today, most major trains pass by Bebra, but there is still a very dense freight traffic.
