  • Basel - Among other things the Basel transit agency BVB run a spit-and-polish fleet of older articulated cars, including a good number of Düwag products from Germany. These are well sought-after by fans and enjoy almost a religious following among tram enthusiasts.<br /> <br /> Here in a virtually timeless view two 36 year old Düwag 6-axle cars form a service on line number 2. They are just crossing onto the Wettsteinbrücke running towards the SBB railway station.
  • Basel - two Duewag six-axle motor cars lead by 624 running on line 2 towards Messeplatz/Eglisee depart the Basel SBB train station stop.
