Amtlicher Fahrplan der Köln - Bonner Eisenbahnen A.G. : 31 Mai 1959 : Timetable for the Köln - Bonn Railway, 1959 : covers
The covers to the May 1959 edition of the timetable for the Köln - Bonn Railway company showing both the undertakings trams then running on routes between Cologne and Bonn, including those via Wessling and known as the "Rheinuferbahn" as well as the company's extensive bus routes. The latter services were advertised as being run by Mercedes-Benz buses.
The company dated from 1897 and ran a network of lines. However by the late 1960s both the passenger and freight services were recording a loss. In 1971 the State helped with financial support and between 1975 and 1984 the two surviving electric passenger routes were effectively subsumed into the region's Stadtbahn's system. The company was effectively disbanded in 1992 with tramway operation passing to Kölner Verkehrs-Betriebe KVB and buses to Regionalverkehr Köln (RVK) with freight lines to the local port authority. The two surviving 'inter-urban' tram routes are now jointly operated with Stadtwerke Bonn.
