A ride on the Magnetbahn in Berlin in November 1989

Damals hielt in der Bernburger sogar noch ein Bus ;) ... Bin in der gegend großgeworden. Danke für das Video !

Der Polenmarkt war schon geil!

Und damals schon konnten die Leute sich nicht dran halten :
Erst aussteigen lassen, dann einsteigen!

The original concept was to convert all small profile U-Bahn sections in West Berlin - about half the network - to an M-Bahn. Good thing it didn't happen because that plan would have broken compatibility with the East Berlin U-Bahn system thus preventing reconnection of severed lines.

spitzenvideo, danke für diese nostalgie!

Why did they get rid of this thing?

I guess it was in the way of redeveloping the area. It was a test track, I think. They had pre-addressed postcards available for the riders to send comments. I think I still have mine somewhere, perhaps I should mail it finally :-)

It was a ttest track as JanPB said. Part of it was on an elevated U-Bahn track which was out of service during the division because it connected an East Berlin and West Berlin station. When the wall came down, it had to go because the original U-Bahn connection was re-established.

Schade dass es sowas nicht mehr in Berlin gibt!
