The museum provides rides on old tram over its 2.8 km, metre—gauge line that runs through a wooded area, and was originally abandoned in 1969. The only active remains of the once vast urban and rural tramway network that covered this region. Was hit by the severe floods of 2021, and still not running again as of Spring 2024.
The Bergische Museumsbahn is a heritage tram museum situated in the German city of Wuppertal. It operates its own tram line south of Wuppertal on original rails with original cars. Therefore, it's one of the smallest running tram systems in the world. Wuppertal still operates the "Schwebebahn", a unique overhead railway.
