Innsbruck Trams, Austria

Spectacularly surrounded by mountains, the Austrian city of Innsbruck has metre gauge city tram routes and a 13.3km long country tramway - the Stubaitalbahn - running from Bergisel to Fulpmes, in the Stubai Valley. Photos taken in Summer 1996 and on 29th & 30th June 2001. Trams in Innsbruck are second hand - from Bielefeld in Germany.
