These like their Full Train counterparts, had the main Steam Engine and passenger carriages separated, making for a fascinating Visual unlike any Electric Trams you can find Nowadays. Yet today they have been all but entirely Forgotten
@Mr_Mofu Wow, fascinating indeed, but the pollution must have been on an abysmal level had the cities used these extensively. No wonder horse-pulled trams were actually more popular back in the day before electrification 😁
I read that we had one in Brașov in 1891, but this was the reason it was gradually scrapped until 1960.
Just imagine standing at a Tram stop and hearing Locomotive chugging right at you. That be so cool!
@Mr_Mofu and smelling its smoke next to the exhaust of the cars, haha (jk).
But yea, indeed 😁
@petrescatraian but having to walk through knee deep horse shit probably wasn’t great either. 😜
I think cities were very polluted for a long time, and the tram might not have contributed to too much of the polution.
This is really cool! Do you know more about the vehicle pictured? It looks like it’s a museum train brought out for some event. I wonder where they stored the coal…
Not sure about this ones origines. But yeah most likely a Museum Tram out for a ride! Not sure about where the coal might be stored. Couldn’t find anything on that
It’s the Dampftram in Bern Switzerland. https://Dampftram.ch
