What do you do when trams breakdown - get an old bus out to the rescue

Tram 11 approaches the Broadwater Parklands station from the west, 20 July 2014. A slight dip in the track highlights the articulations of these seven-module trams.

Trams together!

Have you noticed that George Street and trams really seem to go together? And to state the obvious, so do trams and trams! So, today in George Street, I took shots (among others) of trams and trams. Enjoy!

One of VTA's vintage trolley cars came from Milan, Italy in the mid-1980s. It travels a downtown-only route between the Civic Center and Diridon stations. One of the operators (there's two of them) told me that they do this four days a year. Saturday happened to be one of those days.

Self explanatory. Large minority don't.

This is at the light rail stop by work. Just some random art I guess.

I am often wrong but it is a miracle that I was wrong on this. Extension of the light rail network to Dulwich Hill via Lewisham has been announced so many times by the NSW government and never happened. I said that it never would.

But this time it is (sort of) happening. Where is the GREENWAY though? And why are they pulling up the existing concrete sleepers and rails?

The Calandlijn of the Rotterdam Metro is a mixed heavy metro/light rail line with considerable lengths of surface and elevated sections and several branches.

Here the metro uses overhead lines and has level crossings.

An inbound MetroLink LRT train arrives at Lambert Airport East.

This is a line T5 tram that has terminated here at Glòries. Line T4 continues westward. 27 March 2010. 2010 Peter Ehrlich
