Miscellaneous 2-axle tram #2
19 april 2015 - Budapest, Varosmajor: Although purists might argue that this has no place on TWB, the Budapest Cogwheel Railway is Line #60 of the tramway company and shares drivers with the other, more conventional routes in the city. It runs for about 3 miles into the hills of Buda along a track too steep for normal trams and has been in existence since 1874, when the vehicle pictured here was built by the Nikolaus Riggenbach company who first equipped the line. I think it might be the oldest vehicle ever seen on TWB? The brake-man does not have a very pleasant job. Note also the traverser, still in use here to join several tracks.
