… the more Melbourne trams you find. Or something.

Trolleypup took me for a tour of San Francisco’s historic trolley collection, including this poor old girl — a Melbourne W2 class tram, like the ones I used to catch to school in the 80s, just before they were decommissioned. Flickr set here.

Isn’t this the same one that still runs on church street ?

deepfryed: No, the W2 was decommissioned in 1987. It’s the one with the open doors with just a bar and a pull-down canvas blind. The sliding doors were in later W-models. See the “W2 class tram” link in the post itself for some serious tram nerdery

If this isn’t the first you’ve run into, you may know about the Seattle Waterfront Streetcar. If not, well, now you do.
