> by the way: nice little story about this train: the train from
sestokai to suwalki was more or less de- and reconstructed three
times everytime it crossed the border: first time by people hiding
things, second time by borderguards searching for smuggling goods,
third and last time by people getting there things back from the
hiding places.
> it was very impressive to me, because the train didnt seem to be in
good condition to be a hiding place for goods (as result of the
permanent de- and reconstructing...) - the borderguards didnt find
anything.

didn't they also change the rail width on the border?
In any case, amazing stories you got here. BTW, was there crossing
points before 1990? Probably not, no point, as any passage would have
to approved by the government in advance.
