With these China and the United States almost automatically are positioned in some of the first spots. We should think which quantities are meaningful.

(Terje Melheim) Tramways are usually associated with large towns, built up areas, big buildings and much traffic. Can you imagine a tram line through a fantastic rural landscape? An example of such a tram line is Kirnitzschtalbahn in Eastern Germany. That Kirnitzschtalbahn has survived till today is probably due to the fact that it was […]
