The Bull Train – Attention: the Bull is coming! From 1890 to 1996, freight trains rumbled slowly down busy Wilhelminenhofstraße and out into Berlin’s extensive rail network. The freight line served countless factories along the Spree. It was electrified in 1901, as befitted the “electropolis.” It is unclear where the name “Bull Train” (Bullenbahn) comes from – either because trains were initially pulled by horses and bulls, or because the heavy electric locomotives were nicknamed “bulls.” The former “Bull Train” service station is now used for streetcars.

Today, the Nalepastraße depot of the BVG is located here. It is scheduled to be closed down by 2030 (as a tram depot) and then only used as an infrastructure site for the BVG for track construction.
