Woltersdorf tram - the first use of the Gamma (2025)On January 25, 2025, after many months of waiting for approval of the new Moderus Gamma LF10 AC BD, the big day finally arrived. The four new units will replace the over 60-year-old Gotha cars of the T57/T59 series in scheduled service. For over 45 years, trams have been a defining feature of Woltersdorf. However, that era is now coming to an end, and with it, the classic two-axle trams, with their characteristic sounds, will disappear from daily life. Yet, with every ending comes a new beginning. At 8 a.m., the depot was already bustling with tram enthusiasts. Tram cars 41 and 42 are ready, with two key figures onboard, and now we're set to depart. "Oh, you're 35, we're heading out on route." Many passengers are already waiting at the stop for this special service. Now is the moment. The scheduled tram, car 32, arrives at the transfer point to pick up its passengers—a gathering of generations. At 8:41 a.m., we're on our way, first to the lock—how fitting. In the background, the old girl is crying. "Take care, old girl." The second trip is also ready. By 9:15 a.m., this will begin again, and we're off once more. Gr, jaör, Hallelleplatz, turn right. At 9:20 a.m., the first meeting takes place at Berliner Platz. Exiting Berliner Platz, an unusual sight. Here's to many more wonderful years.By Sebastian Schüßler - February 1, 2025.
