Evening all!
Having been taken off work for the time being in order to preserve my health, I thought that making use of the wonderful weather we were having today and taking time for my personal interests for starters might be a good start towards recovering dearly needed strength...
This set of Tatra T4D-M cars 2144, 2179 and NB4 trailer 909 got a broadside of morning sunlight at the Forsthaus stop, just prior to the 7 line's terminus at Böhlitz-Ehrenberg in the northwest of the city.
Riding back, I disembarked at Leutzsch Station, and from the road bridge spanning the northern half of the station captured 143 212 roaring in at the head of the RB 26412 service from Weißenfels to Leipzig Central Station.
The weekly market was open at Lindenauer Markt, where I next captured T4D-M car 2112 with a NB4 trailer on the 8 line to Paunsdorf-Nord.
This location is on Kuhturmstraße, between the Angerbrücke and Lindenauer Markt stops. Here, NGT12 car 1213 "Rostock" is on its way to Miltitz on the 15 line...
...and this Leoliner formation headed by 1318 "Lößnig" is on the 7 line.
This stop is right outside the Angerbrücke tram depot, which is located right behind the houses to the left. This depot is the most modern of Leipzig's tram depots, and used to be known as "Tram Depot of the German-Soviet Friendship" in the days of the GDR.
Here, I zoomed in on 1214 "Lyon" on the 15 line outbound to Meusdorf in the southeast of the city, working its way up the slight incline from Lindenauer Markt to Angerbrücke...
...and on a Leoliner pair headed by 1329 "Miltitz" on the 7 line.
A pair of T4D-M motor cars headed by 2130 was on its way to Grünau-Nord on the 8 line...
And here, 1337 "Knauthain" was heading a 3 line service to Taucha, while 1220 "Thessaloniki" was turning right onto Kuhturmstraße on its way to Miltitz.
This spot is on the bridge spanning the Elster Basin on Jahnallee. Another of the several DHL liveried Leoliners, 1339 "Lützschena", is seen here heading a 3 line service to Knautkleeberg.
1350 "Heiterblick" is currently the last Leoliner to have been produced for LVB. Here, it is heading a 3 line service to Knautkleeberg, having just arrived at the Sportforum stop.
East of the Sportforum stop, the line dips into an underpass below Marschnerstraße and Am Sportforum. The first of the two services seen here emerging from said underpass is headed by 1349 "Windorf" on the 7 line, and the second service is 1223 "Houston" on the 15 line.
I completed my round at Naunhofer Straße, which outside of peak hours is the 2 line's southeastern terminus. Here, cars reverse through a loop running through Wilhelm Külz Park, which is just a few minutes from the Battle of the Nations Monument.
