Tramcar 3217 of the Kölner Verkehrsbetriebe (KVB) approaches the station
Chlodwigplatz on 19 February 2004, with another eight-axled car coupled behind.
Line 6, which is only operating during the rush hour, was run with double
tractions instead of single cars, as a high amount of passengers was expected
on that day ("Weiberfastnacht", the Thursday where the carnival starts). This
kind of operation would not have been possible in the past, before autumn 2003
the low section of the platform at Hansaring station was too short for two
cars.
