Description
In addition to the presentation of Abellio's diesel vehicles, the annual festival of the Naumburger Straßenbahn GmbH also took place. Of course, we didn't miss it and took a few pictures!
Only one day earlier, the new old stop in front of the main station was opened. It was 27 years ago when I drove from here in the other direction of the ring. And, according to what we heard on site, that should be within reach again. Transport Minister Thomas Webel and District Administrator Götz Ulrich have spoken positively about the further expansion. A gem that was long thought to be dead, which slowly fought its way back and now seems to be close to its goal of closing the ring. Worth seeing and preserving! Because here, there are daily scheduled services that you can only admire elsewhere standing or on special trips. BLK Regional TV was also there and will certainly report on it in detail.
Naumburg is a bit far away and is now in another federal state, but it still has a long connection to Artern. Not only does our Unstrut flow into the Saale at Blütengrund here. Borlach and Novalis also worked in the area. For 117 years, there was a direct train connection between the two via the Unstrut Railway. This has been history since 2006 and since then this connection has unfortunately gradually faded. Closing the gap would be desirable here too and would certainly be in the interest of Abellio, whose workshop is in Sangerhausen.
