Commissioned by the agency CP/Compartner in Essen, Wolfram Schroll photographed the RRX 84. The RRX is operated on routes in local public transportation and is built by Siemens in Krefeld. Wolfram : “I photographed the first trains of the RRX series some time ago and now somehow the last one which was produced in the Siemens factory, the RRX 84.” He photographed the individual steps of production, from the railway car bodyshell to the finished train ready to roll.
Abellio GmbH is among the leading private suppliers in the area of local rail passenger transportation services (SPNV) and operates railway networks throughout Germany.
About WOLFRAM SCHROLL
Lube oil rather than hair spray, blue collar rather than haute couture, preferably the smell of steel to the waft of perfume. No models, no cool locations, just raw reality. I love my work - industrial photography. And I love the noise and the heat, the weirdness of the production lines, sometimes all a bit menacing. The people, salt of the earth, uncomplicated. And the permanent challenge of getting photos out of the dark production halls and complex machinery, photos that deserve the word picture. On behalf of customers, taking photos of machines that look as expensive as they actually are. Here at this website, you can sample of my latest work from the worlds of steel, paper, machine construction and medical technology....and of the people who work there.
