Tram in another Frankfurt

There is a small town called Frankfurt der Oder in the Far East Germany.

And there is a metre gauge tram network.

Frankfurt der Oder Hbf

Tiny tram network still exists even though eastern part of network was abandoned due to the result of WW2 and the change of belonging from Germany to Poland.

So, the line for Dammvorstadt could not run through. Now the town called as Słubice...

Two cities were one community in the past..... and after applying Schengen Agreement, people can pass without passport control....So now the two cities become one zone again!

Moreover, there might be debate about re-building tram way for Słubice (the article suggested in German language)

The border bridge

The city centre has already modernised due to re-construction after heavy air-laid during the war.

Some buildings still exist as same as pre-war age...
