This engine: Vintage stock 76 built in France, signed in Hamburg, controlled by an Englishman on a street in Holland: Oldtimer's Nobel audience is international, - the Suzaire Naudin from 1912, one of those car veterans, whose seeing already suffices to put an increasing number of contemporaries in a frenzy of possession. More and more people - almost exclusively men, as it sees itself--lose visibility and control, when facing a fine specimen from the early years of the automobile. Plunder your bank account and neglecting family and profession. Ownership and maintenance of a luxury liner from bygone days can - give as you hear from dedicated circuits - a completely new turn to life? The business flourishes with the classics. The old British auction house Christie's feil offers the most precious pieces. A 8-cylinder Mercedes convertible 500 K, vintage 1935. The minimum bid: 35,000 guilders, about 32,000 marks are. The supplement was at 70. Almost free, experts said.

This technique: The railway track at the door everything goes! Over 400 million tonnes each year. Also the most cars are railway once. And of course people: every day almost 5 million. The competition is fierce. This forces to streamline, to push costs - in all areas. For example, General cargo. 40 million items per year. Drawback of the current system: it had to be reloaded too often.
Goods shed Hamburg-Blankenese. One of over a thousand in the Federal territory. Here everyone could deliver his packages and boxes so far or pick up. But what finally came together to a boxcar was little, too little. And the pieces rarely had the same destination, so had to be unloaded on the nodes in other cars. 'Picking on the track' – that's since January 1. As in Blankenese, about 600 small collection centres be closed everywhere in the Federal Republic. Only the great stay - as fast hubs for Strückgüter of all kinds. Also the road contributes to the speed of the track. What formerly slowly gained on the small general cargo stations and then on the junctions was redistributed, rolls now with the truck equal to the collection point. The key word: Rationalization. The catchment areas of several small Güterabfertigungen are merged and operated from the truck. Staff can be saved, but because instead of two or three almost empty wagons on the rail only a truck - driving also hold, and which is fully loaded. On a tour, the car delivers and absorbs new cargo - directly in the yard of the customers. A continuous contract of carriage from House to House. Not only trade and business, but also the domestic benefit from a rail has become faster. A bathroom Cabinet for example takes in the future no carrier to seek more.
On the way back, the truck leads directly to the goods collection point for recycling. The cargo must be not more for days until a car is fully loaded. By centralizing the freight traffic increases so strongly, that goods quickly a car filling with same destination, modern loading equipment, such as forklift and pallet speed up the loading process. Commercial goods or machine components: if they have the same destination station, they travel in the future in the same car.
The advantage for railway customers is obvious: shorter journey times between a total 27,000 places. And also an example of how rail and road sense can share your task.

This music: Chopin to the habit it is almost up to - Frédéric Chopin's birthplace at the gates of Warsaw. But it lives, by Museum atmosphere to feel nothing. Almost every Sunday here internationally known pianists playing. Hardly a people has a so intimate relationship such as Poland to Chopin as a musician. His graceful melancholy charms, his art is setting standards in the music education of the country. An annual highlight in the Polish musical life: the international coveted prize was awarded.
