ქალაქიდან სურათებზე კომენტარები Vancouver (ტრამვაი)

The photo is from 2004. It concerns a former Brussels tram and not a PCC: the correction is made.
This was no coincidence. A few years later (2009), 2 modern Brussels trams were promoted, in the hope that Bombardier (from Canada) could build a modern tram in Vancouver.

But not only this tram, but many other trams where shipped to Canada.
These were old trams, which were no longer necessary for the Brussels Tram Museum: their collection is already very extensive.
This happened on the initiative of an expatriate Belgian, who lived in Canada, had good connections with the tram company and wanted to set up an amusement park / tram museum in Canada.
So the man got the trams, paid the transport costs to Canada himself, hoping to establish a transport museum and / or amusement park.
Needless to say, they were not waiting for that at all in Canada and there are a lot of rules there that this man just could not comply with.

He then put his entire collection up for sale in 2014. The prices would correspond to the costs and storage already incurred.

The tram in the photo has no relation to this list.

The Oregon Electric Railway Museum announced in 2018 that they would buy this tram:

I have not found any proof that this has happened: their website lists other Brussels trams, but not this one.

On the site of the Vancouver club, this tram is not to be found either. However, this does not mean that it is no longer there: it could also be stored in a hangar, not accessible to the public.

The fact is that this tram underwent an overhaul at the latest somewhere in the early 1970s, was taken out of service in 1976, and after that still served as a working tram. I have photos of this tram (as work car) in Brussels.

Be sure that kilos of filler were used to give the tram this look. The tram was in a very bad condition and the question is simply what one wants to do with such a tram: the tram type is anything but representative for the region. Brussels has preserved one of these modernised trams.

With this photo, you understand why Brussels doesn't need this tram...

До сих пор на ходу?

Только Port of Tacoma находится в Tacoma, штат Вашингтон (где также есть трамвайная система), а не в Ванкувере.

Линия с ретро-трамваями. С 1998 по 2012 работала по выходным и праздникам с весны по осень. На данный момент движение остановлено из-за недостатка средств.

А что с линией теперь?

Работает как ни в чём ни бывало,только на маршруте раритетные трамваи.

Что теперь с линией трамвая?

А в случае чего управление перехватывает оператор на удалённом посту?

То есть там нет никакой панели управления, в вагоне одни сиденья просто, и перед лобовым стеклом тоже, где можно сидеть? А откуда управление идёт?

Да, поезд полностью автоматический, но каждый может испытать себя в роли машиниста поезда 21 века. Перед лобовым стеклом установлены 2 сиденья. Впечатления просто не поддаются описанию!!!

Скорее наоборот.

С линейным двигателем?

Извиняюсь, автоматического :)

Как будто прототип нашей Яузы.

Это поезд авоматического лёгкого метро (ALRT).
