Awwwh what a cute little ballast tamper! - It seems that not all trackwork requires a big Plasser & Theurer engine; sometimes a little machine like this is sufficient. This one is operated by DGS (Dresdner Gleis- und Straßenbau), I saw it at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, which is currently the end point of line 13 due to works around the station Sachsenallee. When you live in Dresden, you have to get used to all the building sites and service interruptions. 2001-03-31.
