Rolf Wittig from Meiningen in Thuringia once learned the honorable craft of a rifle engraver. but soon left the boring rifle factory to look around the world. Reported to Soviet uranium mining in Saxony, where there were still real adventures to be experienced. But soon had enough of all socialism, and moved to West Germany, worked as a servant with the winegrower. But then took a chance and was recruited by the South African Railway as a locomotive heater. So he came closer to his youth dream train driver. But after two years after adventurous tramping he returned to Hamburg and became a subway driver. Finally he was able to switch to the Federal Railways, where he worked his way up from a window cleaner to the main locomotive driver in Munich, where he was allowed to travel 30 years of S-Bahn, freight trains and express trains.
