WWI - Portable Railroad

Here's some interesting pictures from an event in Germany:

The railroad would be fun to set up at Ozena- kind of reminds me of a 1:1 scale model train. :-)

That's cool! I'm impressed that they were able to just lay down the tracks with no apparent roadbed preparation. I have a question though: The railroad personnel appear to be wearing light blue uniforms. Are they WW1 era or Franco-Prussian War? They seem to have both time periods represented.

Thanks for sharing!

To be honest, I have no idea about the uniforms. I think they're portraying sometime before the war before the transition to Feldgrau uniforms had been completed. But then again, I could be wroing- my German isn't all that good.
