Am Platz der Republik begegneten sich am 11.06.2007 drei R-Triebwagen, die Linie 16 nach Ginnheim mit dem Triebwagen 028 links im Bild, von rechts bog gerade der 21.

Die Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage, 1903-1905 von Karl Heicke mit Weiher, Bachlauf und Springbrunnen geschaffen, gibt dieses Motiv der Straßenbahn am See mitten in der Stadt her, eine grüne Idylle inmitten

Für mich war es eine Überraschung, bei bahnbilder.de eine Kategorie Island zu finden, wenn" s auch nur eine Industriebahn im Hafen von Reykjavik war. Vor ein paar Jahren war ich auch dort, aber die habe ich nicht entdeckt.

You can find this locomotive (Minør) in the harbour of the capital Reykjavik. Iceland's first (one of three) railway, the Reykjavik Harbour Railway, was built to transport materials to construct the quay and breakwater between the mainland and Örfirisey Island. One section of the 90 cm gauge track ran from Öskjuhlið and the other went to Skólavörðuholt. Two steam locomotives, Pionér and Minør, were purchased from Denmark and transported to Reykjavik. Each locomotive was 3 m high, 4·9 m long, and weighed 13 tons. From 1913-1917 the locomotives were quite busy, often making up to 25 trips each day. Even after 1917, the locomotives remained in limited use up to 1928. Interestingly, both locomotives have been preserved. Locomotive Minør is in the harbour of Reykjavik and the locomotive Pionér can be seen at the Árbaer open-air museum. 
