the entire length. In the case of the switch to light rail operation, only the platforms of the existing stops would have to be expanded to a height of 80 cm and a length of 105 meters. The route runs along the Trift road and Adolf Miersch road to Niederrad station, where there is a connection to the S-Bahn network. In the further course follows the Stadtbahntrasse the Lyoner Straße through the office city Niederrad. At the Kiesschneise stop, the route of the former Frankfurt Waldbahn, which was opened in 1889, is reached. This was also prepared in the mid-70s for a possible light rail operation. Shortly thereafter, today's tram line is abandoned again, the tram line swings along Strassburger Strasse to the north and crosses the settlement Goldstein. The required route was already prepared in the mid-70s and should have been created together with the new line by Niederrad. Due to protests of the residents, who feared a separation effect of the Stadtbahntrasse, the building was postponed to the time of conversion to Stadtbahn. In the meantime, however, it is planned to implement the new line in the medium term even without the use of a light rail system in order to improve the development of the residential area Goldstein. At the Ferdinand-Dirichs-Weg the existing forest railway route is reached again. It leads along the edge of the forest to the terminus Rheinlandstraße, where the Frankfurt Traffic Museum is located. A continuation to the southern main entrance of the Industriepark Höchst was discussed, a precise planning does not exist so far. Niederrad - Stadion The branch to Stadion follows from the junction on the Triftstraße in a southerly direction of the Rennbahnstraße and Schwarzwaldstraße. Today's tram line runs in the middle of the lanes, only the tracks in northern direction are partially separated by road markings from the rest of the road. In the case of the switch to light rail operation would be here extensive reconstruction measures required to achieve a road-independent routing. From the Oberforsthaus stop, the line leaves the street plan and turns onto a railway track that runs parallel to the Mörfelder Landstraße and widens after a few meters to the current stadium station. The Stadtbahnplanungen intend to give up the previous station and set up a new terminal further south, which should be located closer to the Waldstadion. A continuation to the airport would
