| Krefeld, a modern industrial town north-west of Dusseldorf, is served a 37.3km metre-gauge tram system, but is also linked to the regional city by the Rheinbahn standard-gauge light rail line resulting in some dual gauge track in the central area. A fleet of Duewag articulated trams provide the metre gauge service and mix with standard-gauge Dussledorf stadtbahn cars. All photos taken on 15th March 2006. |
