Sadly no pictures from the trip originating in Frankfurt to Berlin in 1979, but several memories of in route drinking beer, & wine and clearing East Germany checkpoints. Flashing flag orders and military IDs...Prost! Visiting East Berlin..... eerie back then.

What Train did you ride on? Surely it wasn't the U.S. Duty Train?

Not sure, remember asking my buddy for a cork screw for what turned out to be a screw cap (fine vintage year from the class VI). Thinking back, I guess we didn't have beer with us. A memorable trip for sure. A most unique experience, not to be "enjoyed" any longer.
