The "Running Regulations on Open Track" stipulated in the German Railway Construction and Operating Regulations (EBO) require trains on double-track lines to use the track on the right-hand side in the direction of travel. But what happens if this is impossible or impractical for any reason?

This film answers this and other questions. It not only illuminates the possible deviations from the running regulations according to current rules, but also traces the historical development of running trains on tracks against the normal direction of travel using numerous graphics. Keywords: wrong-way running, left-hand running, track switching. While this may all be old news for seasoned railway workers, this video is sure to offer some new information to new recruits and interested onlookers.
