Magdeburg museum tram 124 (ex Magdeburg railcar 124), manufacturer Niesky, type Christoph & Unmack Niesky OL.

On the road with the historic railcar 124 of the IGNah - Interest Group for Historic Local Transport and Trams in Magdeburg.

Exactly, I'm taking you on a quick trip today. The weather here is perfect with a color-changing effect. The sun is making its move. If you're curious about what Robert is doing during Pentecost or in his free time, our historic trams are running, words are being spoken, and traffic lights are testing your patience. Sometimes you need to get away. Signals only turn on now. It might keep going. In this video, you can see how to operate such an old vehicle in action, including racing with cyclists. Captain Picard, a bridge entry is no problem. Rolf, drive on my bell. Greetings, and check the mirror. That's it for now, until next time.

Historical Tatra Grand Train Magdeburg (2019)The MVB is building a new tram route on Warschauer and Schönebecker Strasse. Since a canal has to be laid, tram traffic will be interrupted. The Südost depot will also be disconnected from the network as a result. To ensure that regular service can start operating safely, the Sudenburg museum depot will once again be the vehicle deployment point (of the Südost depot) for a few weeks. To enable the MVB to park 9 low-floor articulated railcars close to the city center during the nightly service breaks, we have cleared the museum depot and transferred many historic vehicles to the Südost depot. The film shows some driving scenes with the historic Tatra large train and the passage through the construction site on Schönebecker Strasse on July 20, 2019.By MaxRaffael - July 20, 2019.

Training ride on railcar 124 (2019)Extensive activities are required to preserve historic trams as technical monuments and witnesses of a bygone era, and make them accessible to interested people. For example, new drivers need to be trained for the old trams. When you have such talented club members as we do, the training trips not only make everyone involved sweaty, but they are great fun!By MaxRaffael - April 7, 2019.

Historic trains take you on line 77 from the museum depot to Elbauenpark, where the OMMMA takes place on Saturday and the OPPA on Sunday. The route goes via Hasselbachplatz with a change at the main station, through the city center, and over the Strombrücke to the final stop at the exhibition center. The trips start every hour at minute 14. At 11:14 a.m., 12:14 p.m., 1:14 p.m., 2:14 p.m., 3:14 p.m., and 4:14 p.m. at the museum depot. You can get a ticket for the one-way trip from the museum depot to the exhibition center (with one change at the main station) from the conductors in the carriages, which costs 1 euro. In the former forge and carriage hall, you can view exhibits on tram technology and historic and special vehicles, and read critical historical data about the tram in Magdeburg on information boards. Snacks and drinks will also be provided. http://ignah.net/ IGNah - Interest group for historical local transport and trams at the MVB e.V.By Eisenach82 - August 30, 2010.

Magdeburg tram - special trip with Tatra railways (2012)Since the generational change in the tram vehicles of the Magdeburg transport company is progressing and large T6A2/B6A2 trains are no longer necessary, a memorable trip with the angular Tatra was carried out again in October 2012, at Rostock's initiative, in which a museum-quality round Tatra was also used. The reversing functions were used extensively and not always voluntarily... http://ignah.net/ IGNah - Interest group for historical local transport & Trams at MVB e.V.By pouchklepper - October 7, 2012.
