7 may 2007 - Baden (AT) – Melkergrunde. As soon as it reaches the Baden town limits, the WLB leaves the streets and becomes an express tramway on private tracks to the edge of Wien. American interurbans of the early 1900s were exactly like this, but almost all traces of these have now gone, killed off by better roads and the growth of car ownership.

8 may 2007 - Wien, Austria – Ring/Oper. At journey’s end in central Wien, WLB trams terminate alongside city trams on the famous Ringstrasse. Car 4-124 waits for the next trip to Baden as Wien 4544 passes on a Line 62 service.

8 may 2007 - Wien (AT) – Oper. The Wien terminus of the WLB is here at Oper, alongside the famous Ring. This is a very central and convenient place for passengers, but also very cramped – a two car WLB train can only just fit into the terminal siding. The right hand track is used by city trams.

8 may 2007 - Wien, AT - Karlsplatz/Oper: Today I show my favourite tram system, the wonderful Wien-Baden Lokalbahn, which I regard as the finest interurban line in all Europe. Starting from this cramped little terminus in a side street along the busy Ringstrasse (where there is barely enough room for the normal two-car train), the line shares tracks with city trams for some distance, eventually gaining its own private line for the fast run to Baden. These huge 1980s SGP trams, complete with tables at each seat, are greadually being withdrawn and replaced by less photogenic low-floor models.

17 august 2007 - Vienna, Carols square. I'm not sure, if I put correct place in the description - my city map is terrible :/
