The trams of Elbląg

A couple of days ago I decided to take a trip to Elbląg to see the tram network in this city. It's not a big one but has a very nice fleet of various 805Na trams (a narrow gauge variant of the infamous 105Na!), most of them in very 1990s-looking advertisements (just like the whole town). Additionally the network has a sizeable amount of single-track parts!

 

The tram #048 was produced in 1987 and carries a special livery commemorating anniversaries of tram lines in Elbląg. It got it, I assume, in 1995, as the first tram lines in Elbląg opened exactly 100 years prior. The livery on the #048 remains, only having changed the text on the side, from "100 years of trams in Elbląg" to "120 years of trams in Elbląg", which happened 9 years ago.

 

Here it can be seen running line 4 (out of 5 in total) towards the Druska loop. Having just crossed Grunwaldzka street, it nearing the passenger stop Grunwaldzka/Sadowa.
