1899 #49
1915 - Königsberg (Pr.), Südbahnhof. The post card (Verlag William Reimer, Königsbderg) was sent from Königsberg in 1915. Various sources indicate that the new white Company livery was introduced by the KWS from 1922. As we see, the change of livery was already in progress with the StESt before the First World War.

1899 #61
- Königsberg (Pr.), Kaiser Wilhelm Platz. The vehicle (route no. 3) behind the train led by vehicle no. 61 is one of the Falkenried tram cars taken over in 1909 by the StESt from KÖSAG - presumingly still in the livery of the KÖSAG. I estimate that the picture was taken approximately in 1910. The post card was stamped on 9 April 1913.

1899 #87
- Königsberg (Pr.), Kalthof (Hauptstraße), later Labiauer Straße (ул. Гагарина), approximately 1910. Vehicle no. 87 is one of the units delivered to the Städtische Elektrische Straßenbahn (StESt) from 1899 till 1902 (nos. 30-100). The tram route to Kalthof was opened as an electic tramway in 1901 by the private Königsberger Straßenbahn AG (KÖSAG). The KÖSAG was taken over by the StESt in 1909. The exact spot is difficult to locate on the map. The building to the right is the bakery of Mr. W. Priebe. The 750 mm narrow gauge railway track to the right belongs to the Königsberger Kleinbahn from Kleinbahnhof Königstor to Prawten (Ломоносово) and Possindern (Рощино). Post Card approximately 1910.
