Mannheim Trams, Germany

The German city of Mannheim is served by a 59.2km metre-gauge tram system, part of the Rhein-Neckar network. Some routes, including the inter-urban Rhein-Haardt Bahn, cross the River Rhein to neighbouring Ludwigshafen, and trams of the 61km interurban OEG light railway also visit the city streets and link the centre of Mannheim with Heidelberg by two routes, a direct line via Seckenheim and a longer route via Weinheim.
