European Railroad Discussion > streetcar tuesday

For now two weeks ago I went to Naumburg in Germany. There is the smallest streetcar line in Germany with vintage cars. Length is 1.5mi only. The cars are running 7 days a week around the day.
All pics are taken along the Marienring and the Theaterplatz stop.
Naumburg is a pretty city with the famous lutherian cathedral, home of the Uta.
The city is surrounded from the Saale und Unstrut River valley with vineyards.

Great story and coverage Phil.
Being a Lutheran I will have to look into your mentioning the cathedral there.

Very nice, what's the history of the cars, are they built by Gotha?

This one #51 was built in Berlin Schoeneweide in the 1960ies on older carriages.
It look similar to a Gotha car. I show you a Gotha car pic to compare.
The Naumburg streetcar company is all vintage car operation granted trough a special donation of the regional government.
Pics was taken on rainy August 3rd in 2010.

The main differece of this two models are in the door and window arrangement and the Schoeneweide car is a little bit taller.
