Description

The Bergische Museumsbahn is a heritage tram museum situated in the German city of Wuppertal. It operates its own tram line south of Wuppertal on original rails with original cars. Therefore, it's one of the smallest running tram systems in the world. Wuppertal operates still the "Schwebebahn", a unique overhead railway.Museum lineThe museum line begins about 50 m east of the Kohlfurth bridge, where the depot may be found with its exhibition of vehicles and a bookshop. A track coming from the bridge is currently out of use. East of the depot the line winds its way south and then swings around in a 180° curve in order to follow the Kaltenbach valley north. The end of the line is currently at Greuel halt, although it has long been planned to work the section beyond that to Möschenborn.Near Möschenborn halt the old line turns south again in order to reach Cronenberg.The route has a height difference of about 150 metres, which means that it has an average incline of 5%. The largest part of the route cuts through a wood and is therefore typical of the former overground tramway network. On the other hand the route does not really have any town sections. There are seven stops.VehiclesThe following vehicles, amongst others, are used for services: Tw 105, Talbot, built 1927, formerly used in: Wuppertal Tw 107, DÜWAG, built 1936, formerly used in: Düsseldorf Tw 275, DÜWAG, built 1957, formerly used in: Bochum Tw 337, DÜWAG, built 1957, formerly used in: Hagen The following vehicles are also used for maintenance: Grinding wagon 610 Tower railcar 628 Departmental wagon 406 Works wagon 683 Other vehicles are in working order, but stored and can be visited, e. g.
