Комментарии к фотографиям из города Антверпен (трамвай)

I am jealos! On Saturday and Sunday there were only low floor trams!( So next time). Thanks for the foto!)

Two individual bridges.
два отдельных моста.

А что за здание такое?

Интересная система питания. По оси, как я понял идёт питающий провод от подстанции, но зачем тогда на "перекидке" сделан фидер ещё и во внутрь опор?

At the time of the shooting, this tram had undergone a major overhaul. That also partly explains the unusual painting.

Хоть этому вагону уже 60 лет, а выглядит как будто он только с завода прибыл

Вот это сооружение! Даже заклепочки все на месте!

You're welcome :-)

Thank you! I have to visit Antwerpen ASAP!)

This is a long story.
In the period 1992-1994 the trams in Antwerp were renumbered from 2xxx to 7xxx.
In 2006, the 7001 became the official advertising tram for the Tram Museum. Its history is complicated, but it is still relevant today: the head of a depot also sits on the board of directors of the Tram Museum.
In that context, the historical painting, read: the livery with which the tram was delivered in 1960, was chosen.
The numbering (7001) was of course incorrect, but it concerns a passenger tram and not a museum tram.
Every tram enthusiast hoped for a renumbering to 2001 but officially, as long as the tram is in passenger service, this could not and cannot be done.
Then a bit of history: the Antwerp P.C.C.'s still rode in common with the N.M.V.B., the former long distance tram company. The period was from 1960 to 1968 and this was only on one relatively short route. Pictures of crossings between the two companies exist, but are rare.
The suppression of the long distance tram was brought back into the picture exactly 50 years later, with indeed a meeting between an Antwerp P.C.C. and a historic long distance tram.
The number 7001 was inappropriate: therefore it was decided to renumber the tram for the occasion.

Of course this was not discussed or allowed at the highest management levels, but it succeeded. A day later the tram got its normal number back...
The same applies to this photo. The tram wasn't planned to drive at all, it was also in the wrong depot, but thanks to the right connections the car could miraculously (...) drive on the right line on Sunday...

What the reason was to change №
До 28.05.2018 — 2001; до 26.05.2018 — 7001; до 08.1994 — 2001 ?

Цитата (Трагхайм, 08.12.2019):

Про Владивосток было сказано: стыдно ездить в трамваях с деревянными скамейками!

Indeed, sorry: route 70. And route 7 is still running here, but with bigger trams.
The place (old harbour) is in the summer 'the place to be'.
The building on the right also offers a fabulous view of the surroundings - and the tram.

For me also!

Наличие пальм в кадре вводит в недоумение... )))

Как же красиво!
Здание необычной архитектуры.
Брусчаточка
Рельсы)))
Набережная без заборчиков
Разнотравье вместо унылых газонов
Скамеечки на которых так и хочется посидеть

"Line 70" - you mean "route 70"? But the track is still in use, by the route 7?

Most of line 70 will be replaced by the new line 1. Only a small part of the former line 70 will be without trams, i.e. in the vicinity of the Londenbrug.

An original way to alert travelers that there are changes!

Line 70 was only a temporary solution. Initially it was planned that line 7 would serve the new route, but at the last moment 2 separate lines were chosen: the existing 7 and an extension of it, the 70.
Line 7 is still running at this location.
