Snow-sweeper tram #406
30 may 2006 - Riga, Latvia – zajezdnia/depot IV, Telts iela. Riga has a great many works trams and several snow clearing vehicles are based at each depot. Here at Depot IV, snowbroom 406 is fairly typical of these Soviet-built machines. Unusually for Riga, these don’t have numbers that match their depot allocation.

Snow-sweeper tram #407
30 may 2006 - Riga, Latvia – zajezdnia/depot III, Maskavas iela. Snowboom 407 stands at the head of a long line of snow clearing equipment. As can be seen, the cab is taken from a Tatra T3. It still wears the livery of TTP, the Riga tramway operator until 2005.

Snow-sweeper tram #408
30 may 2006 - Riga, Latvia – zajezdnia/depot III, Maskavas iela. This one is the only eight-wheeled snowbroom I saw – again, on Tatra PCC-type bogies.

Snow-sweeper tram #409
30 may 2006 - Riga, Latvia – zajezdnia/depot III, Maskavas iela. A little baby snowbroom – just for very short routes, perhaps? I like the observation saloon at the back. It looks like it runs on a single Tatra bogie.
