Nostalgic Trams - Schöneiche-Rüdersdorf Tram System, Germany (2011)The two tram lines 87 and 88 are not BVG, which run in the municipalities of Woltersdorf, Schöneiche and Rüdersdorf (in the Land of Brandenburg), due to the fact that are partly located in suburban areas of Berlin, i.e. Rahnsdorf and Friedrichshagen, are partly shown in BVG tramway maps and suddenly considered de facto part of Berliner Tramway Net.By Timosha21 - July 15, 2011.

Ride along | Düwag GT6 | Line 88 | Schöneiche, Jägerstraße - S Friedrichshagen (2023)The Düwag GT6 also runs on the 88 student booster between Friedrichshagen and Jägerstraße, they have been with the SRS for much longer, and also used vehicles, and was from Heidelberg. On May 6, 2024, its service life ended tragically. On Kalkberger Straße, this car drove into an ex-Mühlheimer. The Mühlheim car with the number 78 was less damaged, but the GT6 Düwag suffered more damage, which is why it has now been decommissioned.By ÖPNV WELT - March 17, 2023.

Schöneiche Rüdersdorf tram - ride in the driver's cab (2016)The Schöneiche-Rüdersdorf tram (SRS) connects Berlin with Schöneiche and Rüdersdorf on its 14.1 km long meter-gauge route. It has the number 88 and runs every 20 minutes on weekdays. The KTNF6 (ex Cottbus) and the GT6 (ex Heidelberg) are used alternately. We travel the route from Rüdersdorf to Berlin in the latter.By Strassenbahnfreak - August 12, 2016.

Schöneiche Rüdersdorfer Tram 88 nearby Berlin (2011)The tram line in Schöneiche-Rüdersdorf runs along the border of Berlin, with part of it operating within Berlin's territory. It has 1000mm tracks, while Berlin's are 1435mm; there is no connection between the two systems, even though both serve the Friedrichshagen S-Bahn station. The tram system started in 1910 with benzene-powered locomotives and trailers and was electrified in 1912. In 1977, it was extended to Alt-Rüdersdorf; previously, this stop was in Kalkberge. Since 1929, no new trams have been purchased; instead, used trams from other cities have been acquired. During GDR times, Reko and Gotha trams operated, followed by the Tatra KT4D from Cottbus, and since 1999, DUEWAG GT6 from Heidelberg. In 2009, they bought a Tatra KTNF6 from Cottbus, which has been in operation since 2010, and they are interested in acquiring two more. With four trams needed on weekdays, there’s potential to provide 75% low-floor service in the future. They intended to modernize and rebuild their old KT4D trams into KTNF6 models in the mid-90s, but Mittenwalder Gerätebau went bankrupt, and this plan was abandoned. However, the tram depot was already prepared for this tram type, which benefits current operations. While KTNF6 trams improve passenger comfort, the network needs to accommodate unidirectional vehicles. Several years ago, plans were made to extend the Friedrichshagen terminus to the other side of the road. This was necessary because there are no traffic lights or pedestrian crossings, which could be dangerous when connecting the S-Bahn station and the tram. Attempts to connect the Berlin network with the SRS were not realized. Instead, a third rail was planned to be built to the SRS depot for a turning loop for Berlin trams.By Klingl3r - November 23, 2011.

Schöneicher Rüdersdorfer tram: The closed section Karl Marz Platz - Post Office (2015)Berlin has a number of places that are central points that have been closed down, abandoned or otherwise rendered unusable. These include: Berlin Outer Ring (train stations, GBF) Main line Cemetery line Siemens line ... I will NOT walk the 3 closed railway lines, as more than 20 people now know about them and I am actually only looking for the lines or central points where there was hardly any. I will focus more on the BAR, but the Brandenburg places are also included. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone, after about 2 months: this time I went to a tram line of the SRS (Schöneicher-Rüdersdorfer tram), where a section of the line (post office - Karl_Marx Str.) was closed in 1977 due to open-cast mining.By EmoTrains - Kalte Bahn im nirgendwo - April 23, 2015.

You can see a few insights into the work with some background information. From the weld seam to the ride. On the canal you can also often see a view of neighboring Woltersdorf. We urgently need donations to be able to present the car in a roadworthy condition again: Tram 88 e.V.
