Guten Morgen! :D

Running for nearly 20 years through the streets of Dresden in eastern Germany, the CarGoTram was created to provide an efficient means of transporting goods across the city to the newly established Transparent Factory, thereby removing dozens of lorries from the road per day as it plied its trade quietly and in an environmentally friendly manner.

Unfortunately, the CarGoTram's success was intrinsically tied to the success of the products it supported, specifically the Transparent Factory's primary model, the Volkswagen Phaeton, a controversial and commercially poor car that never reached the production levels hoped for by the company, its failure ultimately becoming the beginning of the end for the tram, and it would thereby not live long beyond the end of the Phaeton.
