The Tram-Line of Ybbs

From the year 1907 to 1953 a tram-line ran through the Wienerstraße.With its range of 3km it was at that time the smallestin the world, connecting the main square with the railroad station.

Up to the 19th century the federal highway B 25 was only a bumpy road. After the opening of the railway, leading from Vienna to the Swiss border, the old road was extended to a continuous one. However, in order to build a permanent connectionto the railroad station the tramline of Ybbs was finally established. It consisted of two motorized vehicles.

In 1953 the old tram outgrew the reinforced demand and was thus replaced by a bus line.
