Companhia Carris de Ferro de Lisboa/
Miscellaneous 2-axle tram #?
28 july 2010 - Lisbon. An interesting thing - the last "Soapbox" tram (trailer) still in public service - unfortunately, only as a little resting station situated in the middle of the parking, in the middle of the Belém tram loop (look at the map). It's very crowded there, that was the best view presenting the whole tram. The wagon stands on the cobble stone on two little steel rails. All "Soapboxes" (both 2- and 4-axled) were withdrawned from service between 1985 and 1993.

22 march 2010 - Lisboa, Praca do Imperio, Belem: Standing off the track under the trees at the Belem Monastery loop in Lisboa is this, the very last `soapbox` four-wheeled trailer tram of the Carris system, now used as a rest home for tramway employees, who evidently use it for meal breaks and a nice sit down. Although there is a similar tram in the Carris museum, this one is the last to escape from captivity.

22 march 2010 - Lisboa, Praca do Imperio, Belem: The inside of the `beached` trailer car at Belem in Lisboa, now quite nicely fitted out as a rest place for passing tram crews, who can take their rest breaks here when turning at the adjacent loop.
