Description
The Kiel tram.
On May 4, 1985, the last scheduled tram, TW 270, arrived at the Gaarden depot. Line 4 was the last of the ten Kiel tram lines.
On July 8, 1881, the Kiel tram was opened as a horse-drawn tram with a track width of 1100 mm. In Germany, this unusual track width was only used in Lübeck and Braunschweig.
Since the 1960s, DÜWAG large-capacity railcars in double traction and six-axle DÜWAG articulated railcars with a two-axle trailer have been used. Images of Line 2, which was discontinued in 1969, can also be admired in this film. Previously unpublished amateur material has been painstakingly digitized and compiled in this film.
Experience once again the charm of the route and its vehicles, the fashion and the ambience of the 1980s. Many of the work railcars that were still in existence at that time can be seen on the route in this film.
This film is a piece of contemporary history!
