Bond of the Trambahn Meiringen–Reichenbach–Aareschlucht AG, issued 30. June 1912
The tramway was opened in 1912, and closed in 1956, being replaced by a bus service. The line was electrified at 500 VDC. It had a length of 2.773 kilometres (1.723 mi), with 11 stops, a maximum gradient of 3.9% and a minimum radius of 20 metres (66 ft). After 1926, the tramway crossed the Meiringen–Innertkirchen railway by a level crossing at Alpbach; whilst both lines were of the same gauge there was no other connection between the lines.[1][2]
The only visible remains of line is the tram depot, in the centre of Meiringen and now used by the municipality, and the abutments of the bridge used to cross the Aare river.[1]
