Russian goods train in Bonn, Germany
Jan. 10 Russian goods train in the Federal Republic of Germany. On April 1st and 2nd in Bonn, Soviet freight trains were loaded with furniture for the Nigerian Embassy in Moscow. For the first time since the end of the Second World War Russian trains came to the Federal Republic of Germany. The settlements of the wheels must be changed, because in the Soviet Union the lines are 15 centimetre wider. This has taken a lot of time, till the Soviets let drive the trains to Bonn. At first was planned the usual method, that means to change the material in Brest-Litowsk. Against this the furniture-factory in Bonn protested. With the help of the Nigerians in Moscow it was made possible-then. 150 000, should be the worth of the delivery of furniture, which will be used to furnish the Nigerian Embassy in Moscow. The furniture has been bought in Germany, because the Nigerian diplomat, who has been previously in the Federal Republic of Germany, did not find the furniture of the Soviets, which was offered to him, so suitable as the furniture he had had in the Embassy in Germany.
