Duisburg-Wedau
All photographs of this location in date order.
![DB class 50 2-10-0 No. 053 075 was another late built example of the class constructed to a simplified design, in this case retaining its original 'bath-tub' tender. Here it is retiring into the roundhouse at Duisburg-Wedau shed after a Saturday morning's toil around the Ruhr, which was still had a number of steam depots in 1975. The situation was similar to the last months of steam on BR in Lancashire during 1968 except that the locos were a lot cleaner!<br><br>[Bill Jamieson 30/08/1975]](/images/42000/42375.jpg "Duisburg-Wedau")
![As can be seen from the shed clock, it's into the afternoon on Saturday 30th August 1975 so class 50 2-10-0 No. 052 372 will have completed its diagrammed workings around the Ruhr and is retiring into Duisburg-Wedau shed for the remainder of the weekend. The roundhouse was able to stable electric as well as steam (and diesel) locos which will seem very strange to British eyes.<br><br>[Bill Jamieson 30/08/1975]](/images/42000/42408.jpg "Duisburg-Wedau")
