As beautiful in aesthetics as it was in the ideals it represented...

    Talking bout Trams, the local tram company was split in east and west afer WW2 for obvious reasons, but they kept servicing the same lines and also crossed the border (because no iron curtain then).

    This stopped in 1950 as the eastern division employed female drivers and the western division was not okay with this, so the lines stopped at the border, you switched to an identical train on the identical line and then went on.

    And then the west started dismantling tram lines so now west-berlin as 3 and east-berlin has 19.
