Uerdingen KSW #144

21 september 2013 - Essen, Germany - betriebshof/zajedznia Stadtmitte: Standing next to the Oberhausen Herbrand car was this 1921 tram which was another rescue. It was originally supplied to the Herten tramways, but eventually finished up in Essen and has now been restored in Essen livery, although I don`t think it ever worked here. TWB calls it a KSW car, but it certainly isn`t, although it may have been built by Uerdingen.

Herbrand 1899/1900 #25

21 september 2013 - Essen, Germany - betriebshof/zajedznia Stadtmitte: An amazing survivor from the very early days of tramways is this 1899 vehicle from Herbrand of Koln, once #25 in the original fleet of the Oberhausen tramways. In the 1990s this was a derelict heap of junk standing in the open air, but it was later rescued and fully restored as shown here.

Duewag M8C #616

21 september 2013 - Essen, Germany - betriebshof/zajedznia Goldsmidtstrasse: One of the 1979 batch of Duewag 8-axle trams, #1115, was converted in 2010 to this works car by the simple expedient of removing a section, making it now a GT6. It is now in this rather startling all-over bright green livery.

Bombardier M8D-NF 2 #1607

21 september 2014 - Essen, Germany - betriebshof/zajezdnia: I wondered if this picture would get your attention! This was the rollout of the very newest Bombardier Flexity Outlook #1607 at the city tram depot, an occasion celebrated by speeches and this performance by a troupe of exotic dancers wearing very little apart from a few feathers. Sadly, they got in the way of a clear picture of the tram....

Schörling SR 3.59 #41

21 september 2013 - Essen, Germany - betriebshof/zajedznia: At the Essen city tram depot, a very smart 1952 Scholing track car which has had several owners in its relatively short life. Built for the Solingen tramways, in whose livery it is shown here, it passed to the Vestische Strassenbahnen in 1959 and was then transferred to Essen, who eventually passed it to the Bergische tram Museum where it now resides. It was brought specially back to Essen for a depot open day in 2013.
