LTM steam tram
In the early 20th century, a steam tram of the Limburgsche Tramweg Maatschappij ran almost parallel to the street between Vaals and Maastricht . In Cadier en Keer and between Margraten and Gulpen the line followed, between 1922 and 1938 a different route in connection with the gradients. Hardly anything of this route can be seen today. In Vaals there was a connection to line 12 of the Aachen tram .
