Cüstrin trams, Germany

Railway Station.


Stadtwald (town wood), one of the three lines' terminus.


This town, spelt Küstrin after 1928, had a metre gauge electric system from 1927 to January 1945 when the Red Army showed up; intensive fighting saw the end of much of the town including the tramway.

After May 1945 the town was one of those split across the Oder and Neisse rivers and the eastern side was renamed Kostrzyn nad Odrą.
