The ''Primator'' was an international express train. Introduced in 1986, it ran between Prague, then the capital of Czechoslovakia, and East Berlin, then the capital of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Following the major political changes that took place in Central Europe in the second half of 1989, Prague became the capital of the Czech Republic, East Berlin was absorbed by Berlin and the GDR by Germany. In 1993, under the influence of all of these changes, the ''Primator'' was replaced by a new EuroCity train, the ''Porta Bohemica''. ==History== The ''Primator'' first ran in 1986. Initially, it was categorised as one of the new top-of-the-line ''Interexpress'' services, numbered IEx 76/77. The train ran between Praha hl.n. in Prague and Berlin-Lichtenberg in East Berlin, on the route and in the time slots previously used by another train, ''Progress'', which was rescheduled to different time slots. In 1991, the ''Interexpress'' category was discontinued, and the ''Primator'' was recategorised as an ''Express'' (Ex) (Czechoslovakia) / ''Schnellzug'' (D) (Germany). In 1993, as part of a reorganisation of international train services through the Elbe valley, the ''Primator'' was replaced by the new EC ''Porta Bohemia''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Primator (train)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
