Tram, trailer and retreating storm 20230510--095

Kassel tram 603 with trailer 501 approach Bahnhof Wilhelmshöhe, working a route 1 service for Wilhelmshöhe (Park).

603 is one of twenty-two Bombardier "Flexity Classic" single-ended three-section (eight-axle) trams built in 1999-2000, while trailer 501 is one of fifteen built by Bombardier for Rostock in 2001-2 and subsequently sold to Kassel.

This was the second of two trams I photographed here after a short coffee break following a heavy rain shower (with thunder and lightning), after which clouds covered the sun again and I resumed my track gricing. The dark clouds of the storm can be seen.

2-1-2024: revised version uploaded, with bands in the sky smoothed out.
