Ochtmersleben, Dreileben-Dreckenstedt, Ovelgünne, Wefensleben, Helmstedt, Berlin

From Halle, I'm heading to Magdeburg and further to Helmstedt - the former border station of East Germany. Later on, I will be heading to Berlin.
I'm taking an Intercity train between Halle and Magdeburg, here passing through Köthen

There were no freight trains along the route, but shortly before arrival in Magdeburg, there is one
The Intercity continues to Dortmund
Tram in Magdeburg

After getting my morning coffee, I'm ready for trainspotting
And there are some trains here. The line Brandenburg, Magdeburg, Braunschweig is busy with freight diverted from the closed Berlin-Hamburg railway
