Description
On a narrow gauge
Today: A delightful ride through Naumburg
Immediately after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Naumburg tram was put on the sidelines: too worn, too old-fashioned, too ineffective. But many citizens did not want to accept the end of "their" tram and got it running again. For ten years now, the trams have been rolling through the cathedral city every day, just like they used to. And what trams!
Each one is a historical gem in its own right: There are, for example, old Gotha trams from the 1960s or so-called Reko trams from the 1970s. And recently, passengers have even been able to travel in a Lindner tram from 1928! Corina Pfrenzinger and Robby Mörre are not going to miss out on this nostalgic experience in the new edition of "On a narrow gauge".
They also delve into the history of the BR 143 electric locomotive. This was developed in the GDR in the early 1980s and used for both passenger and freight trains. The locomotive was so reliable that it even took off in the West after the fall of the Berlin Wall and is still in use today as the "Trabilok".
For all model railway fans, there is a look behind and under the scenes of a private facility in the Ore Mountains. Here, two men from Ehrenfriedersdorf have erected a monument to the former local narrow-gauge railway: In the past, this railway was used to transport grit from a quarry. Now it can all be admired again - fully automatic, of course, and on a scale of 1:87.
