S8 is a line on the Berlin S-Bahn.[1] It operates from Wildau to Birkenwerder over:
- the Görlitz line, opened in 1866 and electrified in 1929,
- the Ring line, completed in 1877 and electrified in 1926,
- the Outer ring, completed on 22 November 1952 and electrified for the S-Bahn in 1962,
- and a short section of the Prussian Northern line, opened on 10 July 1877 and electrified on 8 August 1925.
Service history[edit]
The S8 was created on 2 June 1991, as a slightly shorter replacement of the Lime Green route of the East Berlin S-Bahn between Bernau bei Berlin and Grünau (via the eastern part of the Ringbahn).[2][3]
In popular culture[edit]
An S8 train to Zeuthen appears in the opening frames of Pet Shop Boys' music video for the single Leaving from the album Elysium (2012).

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
