Brill Crossbench #100
19 march 2018 - Porto, Museu da STCP/Tramway Museum: This excellent museum holds various historic vehicles, not just trams, and is a focal point for the remaining tram routes which operate through the old city centre. Porto trams were nearly all replaced by buses and trolleybuses and were lucky to survive. This lovely crossbench car of 1910 was severely damaged in a fire and fully rebuilt in 1995 - it is an original Brill (USA) tram, like many that were shipped to Porto to run on a network which once numbered over 400 vehicles. These historic trams are in great demand by museums everywhere.
