Day 315 of 366.

Het Red Star Line Museum is opgebouwd uit verhalen van mensen die met de schepen van de rederij naar Amerika of Canada zijn gereisd. Centraal staan zes getuigen, onder wie Albert Einstein en Irving Berlin. De hoofdtentoonstelling voert de bezoeker langs de verscheidene reisetappes vanaf het reisbureau in Warschau tot het nieuwe leven in de Verenigde Staten. Het doel is om een indruk te geven van de zware tocht die een Europese landverhuizer moest afleggen om een betere toekomst tegemoet te kunnen gaan. Het laatste deel van de tentoonstelling verbindt het verleden met het heden om aan te tonen dat migratie een universeel en tijdloos gegeven is Wikipedia

En 1872 surgió en Oporto el servicio de tranvías americanos que eran empujados por mulas , destinados al transporte de personas y mercancías.

La primera compañía en explotar el servicio fue la "Companhia Carril de Ferro Americano do Porto" , surgiendo mas tarde la "Carris de Ferro de Porto". En 1893 ambas empresas se unieron prevaleciendo la "Carris de Ferro de Porto".

En 1894 comienza la electrificación de la linea y el 12 de Septiembre de 1895 comienzan a funcionar los primeros tranvías eléctricos en Oporto. Los primeros tranvías eléctricos pesaban unas 6 toneladas y transportaban unos 30 pasajeros.

Hasta 1912 las lineas se designaban por sus nombres , la "linea da Marginal" (linea 1) era la mas emblemática.

En 1878 las cámara municipal de Oporto , autoriza a operar de Oporto a Matosinhos y a utilizar maquinas de vapor para tirar de los vehículos. Al ser mas potentes que la tracción animal , podian tirrar de varios vagones de tranvía americano.

Entre 1900 y 1940 con el crecimiento de Oporto , nacen nuevas lineas de tranvía como la del centro y la Avenida de los Aliados. El tranvia ya es el transporte de la clase obrera en Oporto.

Los activos de la "Carris de Ferro de Porto" crecen , comprandose nuevos tranvías y modernizando los existentes.

Los tranvías se alimentaban de electricidad de centrales térmicas construidas para ello. La primera central fue la del rio Duero en las Pedreiras de Arrabida , construyéndose mas tarde la de Massarelos que sustituyó a la de Arrabida.

En 1946 se acaba la concesión y pasa a explotar el servicio la SCTP ("Servicio de transportes colectivos de Porto").

Crecen los problemas para cumplir los horarios por el aumento siginificativo del tráfico , nacen los "Pipis" que son tranvias mas modernos y rápidos con los que se intenta solucionar el problema.

Debido al crecimiento del uso automóvil que es mas rápido y cómodo , el tranvía entra en crisis. Se moderniza la flota y en 1959 comienza a utilizarse el trolley bus , mas barato y menos contaminante , para dar servicio a los alrrededores de Oporto.

En los 60 hay una importante remodelación y se suprimen 65 kilometros de linea.

En 1974 funcionan en Oporto 489 tranvías y 101 trolley bus.

En la actualidad el tranvía en Oporto ha perdido su papel como medio de transporte público , quedado relegado a atracción turística . Apenas funcionan media docena de tranvías y cuatro lineas.

I could not resist taking a photo of these 3 lovely restored lorries.

They look so good together and the livery just sets them all off a treat.

Last Moto shot. I thought it'd be fitting to use a good finish line shot. I like the pictures I took to remember this day because it was probably the last time I will see Ricky Carmichael race a dirt bike. Good luck to him in Nascar.

Yet another frame from the French Pass area. I guess peps are getting bored on my French pass, hehe

The Transportation Security Administration is using retired Green Line trolleys made in the 1970s for emergency response training. Above, cars are being transportation on rail flat beds to the training center.

 

The Boeing Vertol light rail cars sent to the TSA Surface Transportation Security Training Center will be used to train personnel from TSA and other Federal, State and Local agencies in various transportation security and emergency response courses given here in order to secure our nation’s transportation assets. Plans are underway for construction of a transit station on site to be used to complement the aforementioned training.

Harrogate Town's players warm up at Wetherby Road ahead of a goalless draw with League Two rivals Stevenage.

 

On paper, this was third against 21st. On the pitch, it looked like 21st against third. Stevenage saw three efforts cleared off the line: two in a first half they dominated; a third deep in stoppage time at the end of the match. After the break, an improved Harrogate had the lion's share of possession and territory but never looked like scoring.

 

To baffled silence, in-form striker Luke Armstrong was announced as the sponsors' home man of the match. I suppose he did have the Sulphurites' only two shots at goal. The first, in the 10th minute, was actually on target. Keeper Joseph Anang made a diving save. I'd have given the award to Town captain Josh Falkingham. At least he played with urgency and purpose.

 

Efforts cleared off the line by Harrogate defenders came from Brad Barry (making his debut in the Football League), Jamie Reid and, at the death, Bruno Andrade.

CLUB HISTORY

Moseley was founded in 1873 and celebrated its 125th anniversary in 1998. The team adopted its signature red and black colours in 1874.

 

Moseley played its home matches at The Reddings, in Birmingham, England, from 1880 through the end of the 1999-2000 season. With the start of the 2000-2001 season, Moseley moved to a temporary home at Bournbrook on the University of Birmingham campus. In 2005 the Club moved to its permanent home at Billesley Common.

 

Moseley is a member of the English Championship, formerly National Division One, proudly among the top 24 clubs in England. It is owned by a consortium of members and supporters who successfully gained RFU approval to run the club in August 2002.

     

I guess it's a good thing that so many Dutch people have full rain suits to wear while bike riding. They came in handy for sitting in the rain, too.
