Theaterplatz,Naumburg DDR CKD Gotha T2D car 44, Aug 1989

The charming little system in Naumburg closed two years later in August 1991,but later re-opened as a tourist line. In Summer 1989 Naumburg operated four T2D Gotha cars, which were single-ended and had been acquired with several others, since withdrawn, from Halle. No 44 was formerly Halle no 778,a CKD Praha Gotha car.. These trams were withdrawn later in 1989 and most scrapped except no 41 which carried on until the end. With the re-opening, even this single-ended tram was of no use and was sold for scrap. A reversing triangle had been installed in the ringbahn at the depot specially for these T2Ds.
