Morning again!

Aside from the assortment of infrastructure photos in my earlier blog entry, I also took these on my photo round yesterday...

In the Friday afternoon peak hour rush, 1348 "Hänichen" and company roll across the Goerdelerring intersection on a Line 4 turn for Stötteritz...

?…immediately followed by 1210 "Dortmund" on Line 15.

The next signal cycle from the Ring Road allowed 2128, 2146 and trailer 904 on Line 1 to emerge from Goerdelerring, which actually is how the section of the Ring Road from this intersection to that with Käthe-Kollwitz-Straße and Dittrichring is called.

1310 "Volkmarsdorf" headed one of the "out of city" turns to Taucha on Line 3...

?…while 1337 "Knauthain" was on a driver training turn. Note how an additional sign is laid out on the forward plane of the instrument panel for those not willing or able to comprehend that driver training turns won't take on any passengers.

On trams booked for driver training turns, a similar sign is commonly put behind the rear window with an additional cautionary notice to following automobiles and trams that emergency brake practice can occur at any moment, so as to hopefully ensure impatient motorists in particular keep proper distance.

Originating as a Line 12 turn at the Gohlis-Nord loop, this turn, operated by 1135 "Theodor Körner", has just been re-signed as a Line 4E turn as Line 12 turns, normally terminating at Johannisplatz east of the city centre, change lines during the morning and afternoon periods Monday through Friday.

Between 6 am and 9 am, the line extends along Prager Straße to Technisches Rathaus, returning to Johannisplatz via Riebeckstraße and Dresdner Straße signed as Line 4E. From 2 pm till 8.30 pm, cars change to Line 4E just prior to Goerdelerring, returning via Riebeckstraße/Stötteritzer Straße and changing back to Line 12 at Technisches Rathaus.

Working a Line 3E turn to Sommerfeld, this Tatra Großzug headed by 2152 comprises one of the rare B4D-NF trailers which were rebuilt from standard B4D trailers, with a low floor section having been provided between the bogies. Originally, these trailers had been rebuilt with the idea of providing bicycle space in mind.

Having changed location to the Roßplatz intersection, I was surprised by this Leoliner pair headed by 1334 "Engelsdorf" on a Line 16 turn.

Also working Line 16, 1202 "Birmingham" with full advertisement for gas utility company VNG turned right out of Grünewaldstraße.

Coming up from Markkleeberg, 1110 "Franz Dominic Grassi" turns left for Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz...

…and 2137 approaches on a Line 11E turn for the Klemmstraße loop near Connewitz Station.
