The former Kiel tram. Vintage tram in Kiel Trailer from tram-TV (1985)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. This unusual track width was only used in Lübeck and Braunschweig, Germany. Since the 1960s, DÜWAG large-capacity railcars in double traction and six-axle DÜWAG articulated railcars with a two-axle trailer have been used. This film also features images of Line 2, which was discontinued in 1969. Previously unpublished amateur material has been painstakingly digitized and compiled in this film.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. This film shows many of the work railcars that were still in existence at that time. Our film about Kiel takes us on a journey through history. There hasn't been a tram in the city since 1985. We secured extensive footage from that era showing how operations worked. All of the material was digitized and put into context. A railway worker shares his experiences in an interview and offers new insights. With line 4, we travel nearly the entire route of this streetcar and also showcase rare vehicles like this Magirus Deutz overhead line vehicle. It's almost hard to believe that vehicles over 100 years old were still running in Kiel until the very end. Yet, relatively modern open-plan carriages from Düwak around 1957 and 1958 also ran on the tracks. One highlight was the Asmus Bremen transshipment tram, known for its distinctive noise. All of this is featured in the 45-minute film available on Trump TV.By tram-TV - May 4, 1985.
