The T57 were tram trolleys that were produced in VEB Waggonbau Gotha for the tram companies in the GDR.

T57 tram trolley ( T Riebwagen, construction year 19 57 ) were used in many cities of the GDR. There was a standard version as a two -way car park and special designs as furniture. The associated sidecar is the B57 . In Dresden the cars received the internal name Et57 or EB57 , the few cars for Berlin received the type designation there TF 59 and BF 59 .

In 1958, two railcars deviating from the series were manufactured as ET 198 05 and 06. As a special feature, the vehicles had a signal horn in addition to their bell according to the operating regulations of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. The Klingenthaler narrow -gauge railway also received two sidecars. After the route was closed in 1964, the vehicles came to the Plauen tram.

In Erfurt and Halle (Saale), furnishing vans were needed instead of the usual two -way power truck. On the left side, they had a large fixed side window and a narrow window walkway instead of the doors. The series arrangement of the seats was also changed. In Erfurt, the seats were only one -rowed on both sides of the middle course, arranged in two in halls. The normal arrangement was single -row on the left and two -row on the right. The Leipzig transport companies had furnishing cars in which fixed windows were installed on one side instead of doors. Otherwise, they corresponded to the two -direction version.
