Simmering Type M works tram #6133
6 may 2007 - Wien (AT) – tramway museum, Erdberg. Today, some more of the amazing Wien works trams. This is a specially-built tipping wagon from 1925 for carrying track materials.
WStB SS #6047
5 may 2007 - Wien (AT) – tramway museum, Erdberg. This purpose-built works tram was constructed in the workshops of the Stadtische Strassenbahnen (which later became WSV) in 1928, using a 1914 passenger car as the basis. It has been in the museum since 1972. The little house in the centre of the tram is a typical Wien feature.
Gräf & Stift sp1 #9046
5 may 2007 - Wien (AT) – tramway museum, Erdberg. This little snowplough came to the museum in 1999. I guess it was useful for clearing tracks in depot yards and similar places. A fun machine!

Simmering Type M works tram #6150
6 may 2007 - Wien (AT) – tramway museum, Erdberg. Tram 6150 dates from 1927 and was in passenger service as Type M #4150 until 1972. It has been in the museum since 1986.
Graz G1 #6412
6 may 2007 - Wien (AT) – tramway museum, Erdberg. Wien has so many work trams that they are divided into Types – this snowplough was a Type G machine. It began life in 1901 as a passenger tram built by Grazer Waggonfabrik and was rebuilt in 1958 by Graf und Stift into the form shown here.
Simmering Type BH works tram #6398
6 may 2007 - Wien (AT) – tramway museum, Erdberg. The amazing Wien tramway museum has an example of just about every type of tram to run in the city, including many works cars, of which my photos today show a small selection. This is a Type B tram built by Simmering in 1951, which ran in service until 1979 and then became a works car. It came to the museum in 2000.
Mercedes O580 #B 30 SWM
26 june 2008 - Kalsdorf bei Graz, Forsterstraße. Autokar przywiózł do hotelu artystów Callatis Eurotour - festiwalu promującego kulturę Rumunii w Europie.
Graz Haller #2
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck (AT) - Tantegert. The tram is dwarfed by the huge pine forest along Line 6.
Duewag GT6 #39
15 may 2007 - Innsbruck (AT) – Maria-Theresien-Strasse. 2008 was the last year that trams used this main street – when I visited in 2007, the trolleybuses had just finished, too. Now, the classic Innsbruck trams are also being replaced by new low-floor vehicles. Ex-Bielefeld car 39 was one of the few city trams to keep its original IVB paint scheme.

Breda PCC #60
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck (AT) – TMB tramway museum. This Italian ‘Genoa’ type tram was built in 1943 for Belgrade, but was diverted to Innsbruck because of the war. It was unique, and the only modern tram in Innsbruck until the 1960s - in many respects it was still more technically-advanced than the new Lohner-built cars which then started to arrive. It has many PCC features. The museum group rescued this tram from Klagenfurt and have fully restored it to operating condition.
Graz Igler BW #104
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck (AT) – Igls, Bahnhof. A close-up view of one of the tiny, ex-steam tram, trailer cars built in 1900 for the Innsbruck Mittelgebirgsbahn (the line to Igls). Only 5.8 metres long, they look really funny behind a large bogie tram. It was normal to run trains of up to four of these trailers – they lasted in service until 1981!
Graz Haller #2
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck (AT) – Igls, Lanser Strasse. A 1904 Graz-built tram of the Stubaitalbahn, drawing two trailers.
Graz Haller #3
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck (AT) – zajezdnia/betriebshof Bergisel. A line of museum cars in the IVB depot. Even without all the vehicles in the adjacent museum, there are plenty of nice old trams for excursions, including several of the tiny ex-horse car trailers from the former Innsbruck-Bad Hall line.
Snowbroom tram #200
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck (AT) – zajezdnia/betriebshof Bergisel. Snowbroom 200 is very old. I think that these days it is only used on the city streets – when the snow lays really deep along the mountain lines, something a lot more powerful is needed. Line 6 (Igls) is closed down all winter, anyway.
Plasser&Theurer lorka #24
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck (AT) - Igls, Bahnhof. The Plasser & Theurer train sets off back towards Innsbruck. There is even a shelter on the trailer, to keep the men dry. There are two matching trailers for the works car, which can pull either or both as required.
Plasser&Theurer #22
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck (AT) - Igls Bahnhof. Another view of the mighty IVB works car, showing the Hiab crane. This tram is powered either from the overhead wires or by an auxiliary diesel engine. A very impressive piece of equipment.
Plasser&Theurer #22
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck (AT) – Igls, Bahnhof. IVB Innsbruck has this huge works tram and two matching trailers, all built by the Austrian Plasser & Theurer company. It looks as though it’s designed to go off along the remote Innsbruck mountain lines for several days at a time in the deep winter snow – it has comfortable crew accommodation and even a little wind gauge on the roof. Here at Igls, it dwarfs the Deuwag GT8 alongside.

Mercedes-Benz O530 II #917
27 december 2007 - Innsbruck, Markgraben Strasse [?]
Duewag GT8 #527
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – Herrengasse. Car 527 passes Stempfergasse with a Cityrunner following behind.
Lohner GT6 #265
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – Murgasse. Much later the same day, car 265 is still hard at work training new drivers. In a tight spot such as this, they probably need quite a lot of practice.
Duewag GT8 #530
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – Hauptplatz. Ex-Duisburg Deuwag #530 swings round the corner from Herrengasse into Murgasse en route to the main railway station.
SGP GT8 #583
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – Teichhof. Graz Line 1 runs up into the hills to the east of the city, partly along a reserved single track. Here, a GT8 leaves a single track section – note the very prominent signal protecting the single line. This tram was once a GT6 and had an extra section added.
Bombardier Cityrunner #664
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – Tannhof. A Cityrunner near the end of Line 1, in a very pleasant area of the city.
Van Hool AG300T #280
20 july 2004 - Salzburg. Ponieważ nie ma tematu "O k%#&a TROLEJBUS!", dodaję pod autobus. Jedyne zdjęcie, jakie mam z tej uroczej miejscowości.

SGP GT6 #271
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – Herrengasse. Another view of the pedestrian area. Car 271 is a standard Austrian GT6.
SGP / Rotax GT8NF #601
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – Herrengasse. This street in central Graz is closed to motor traffic and is a pleasant environment for shoppers. Car 601 was rebuilt from a standard Austrian GT6 to this part low-floor GT8 design by adding a centre section.
Duewag GT8 #530
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – Jakominiplatz. The busy central tram station in Graz serves lines from several different parts of the city. Deuwag car 530 came here second-hand from Duisburg in Germany.
SGP GT8 #584
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – Jakominiplatz. This tram is also on learning duties. It was once a GT6, but had a centre section added later – note the different windows.
Lohner GT6 #265
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – Mariatrost. A Lohner learner! Car 265 on a driving school training run.
SGP E1 #4851
25 july 2008 - Wien, Schwedenplatz, linie 2 i N.Dzisiaj nie ma ani linii 2 na tym torze, ani linii N.
Graz GTG Serie 101B-112B #111B
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – zajezdnia Steyrergasse. A 1915 Graz trailer car being restored by GVB for the 130th anniversary of tramways in the city in 2009. An unusual feature of Graz trailer trams is that they all had the letter ‘B’ after their fleet number (for Beiwagen).
Düsseldorfer Eisenbahnbedarfs KMS #137
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – Tramway Museum. This ex-Rheinbahn (Dusseldorf) tram came to Graz in 1941 and eventually became a works car. It was rescued for the museum and is currently being restored.
Wien Type Z tram #637
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – Tramway Museum. An ex-Third Avenue (New York) tram which came to Wien after WW2. These are very wide trams and could only operate on certain streets in Wien. I guess they have the same problem operating it here, although the museum has a very good relationship with Graz Tramways and runs regular trips from the museum with some of its other trams. Hidden just behind is another wartime acquisition – a 1909 tram from the Rheinbahn in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Werkspoor Drieasser #902
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) – Tramway Museum, Mariatrost. This nice little museum stands at the end of Graz Line 1 and was once the depot of the independent, metre gauge Mariatrosterbahn (some of whose trams went to Lodz). Here are a 1944 Wien Type K car, a Munchen Type G of 1948 and a 1943 three-axle Amsterdam car -the Dutch called this tram type a ‘bloedneus’, or ‘nosebleed’, for obvious reasons! I have no idea how it finished up here in Austria. Some of these trams may not remain here much longer, as I think the museum wishes to concentrate on keeping just Austrian trams.
Mercedes-Benz O530 #PT-12343
13 july 2006 - Austria, St. Anton am Arlberg, Arlberg-Bundesstraße. Tutaj pogoda nie bardzo dopisała.

SGP GT8 #4124
8 may 2007 - Wien (AT) – Oper. The Wien terminus of the WLB is here at Oper, alongside the famous Ring. This is a very central and convenient place for passengers, but also very cramped – a two car WLB train can only just fit into the terminal siding. The right hand track is used by city trams.
SGP GT8 #4113
7 may 2007 - Guntramsdorf (AT) – Feldgasse. Another train bound for Baden fills the tiny street – this is a public road, not a private tram track. As one of these huge tram-trains rolls by in each direction every few minutes, you have to be quite brave to drive your car along here! The local people must be quite used to it, though……

Bombardier T2500 #403
7 may 2007 - Guntramsdorf (AT) – Feldgasse. A WLB train for Wien fills the little village street. These Bombardier T2500 trams run in multiple with the older GT8 cars, so that most trains have a low-floor section. I must say that I much prefer the fabulous GT8 trams, which I guess will one day all be gone.
SGP GT8 #4124
7 may 2007 - Baden (AT) – Melkergrunde. As soon as it reaches the Baden town limits, the WLB leaves the streets and becomes an express tramway on private tracks to the edge of Wien. American interurbans of the early 1900s were exactly like this, but almost all traces of these have now gone, killed off by better roads and the growth of car ownership.
SGP GT8 #4117
7 may 2007 - Baden (AT) – Waltersdorferstrasse. Single track, side-of-the-road running on the Wien-Baden interurban. Car drivers don’t mess with these huge and impressive trams – they run very fast.
SGP E1 #4732
25 july 2008 - Wien, Julius-Raab-Platz, linia N.Dzisiaj już jej nie ma.

SGP / Rotax GT8 #506
9 may 2007 - Graz (AT) - Herrengasse.
Graz GM #5
12 may 2007 - Gmunden (AT) – depot/zajezdnia. Historic car #5 dates from 1911 and is here seen outside the little depot. A very traditional style of tram, like those found in many Austrian cities in the early years of the 20th century.
Lohner T4 #8
12 may 2007 - Gmunden (AT) - Alois-Kaltenbruner-Strasse. Lohner tram #8 reaches the top of the fearsome 10% grade from the lake side. This is the only Austrian-built ‘Grossraumwagen’ left in passenger service.

Graz Pöstlingberg Sommertriebwagen #100
12 may 2007 - Gmunden (AT) – depot/zajezdnia. Gmunden has just about the smallest tramway system in Europe, and the depot is tiny too - this is the whole place. Car 100, on loan from the Linz Postlingbergbahn, is being driven out to enter service – note that the bow collector is ‘reversed’ whilst this move takes place.
Miscellaneous vehicles #7002
8 may 2007 - 0307 08/05/09 Car 7002 of 1944 by WStW – power station. Type GLW Wien/Vienna (AT) – depot/zajezdnia Florisdorf. Wien even has two of these power generating cars, for use when a temporary electricity supply is required. They can be towed out to where they are needed and plugged in to the overhead line.

WStB GS #6857
8 may 2007 - Wien/Vienna (AT). This one crept up when I wasn’t looking, so not a good photo. I have no idea where it was going, or why. I don’t even know where I was, either! Love the colour…..

Type LH tram #6445
8 may 2007 - Depot/zajezdnia Gurtel. Just three of the snow ploughs at one depot – there are over forty of these trams, all to this standard design! However, when these were built, lots of very old and very interesting works cars were withdrawn – thankfully, some went to the Wien Tramway Museum.

Type LH tram #6447
8 may 2007 - Wien/Vienna (AT) – depot/zajezdnia Gurtel. To maintain their huge tram network, Wiener Linien has many works cars, including lots to this standard 1980s design, which are normally coupled to a salt trailer for snow clearing duties. Every depot has some and they always look in perfect condition. This design was built in Wien’s own workshops from old Type L4 passenger trams.
SGP E2 #4086
7 may 2007 - Wien/Vienna (AT) – Simmering Hauptstrasse. As more ULF trams arrive, these traditional Vienna trams are being bought by all sorts of operators. I heard that Krakow is waiting for another batch of Type E6 ex-U-Bahn vehicles quite soon.
Bombardier Cityrunner #653

SGP / ESG LL #6
16 may 2007 - Linz (AT) – Durerstrasse. Linzer Linien has several of these traditional trams in its historic fleet.
Bombardier Cityrunner #021
16 may 2007 - Linz (AT) – Kleinmunchen. A CityRunner similar to the Lodz cars - Linz has around thirty of these.
Weitzer horse tram #32
16 may 2007 - Linz (AT) – depot/zajezdnia Kleinmunchen. This original Linz horse tram has been nicely restored. On the side, it says ‘125 years of horse tramways’ – I thought they had some electric trams now? What we call in English ‘poetic licence’……..
Graf & Stift/ESG/Siemens tram #A
16 may 2007 - Linz (AT) – depot/zajezdnia Kleinmunchen. As you know, I always try to photograph works trams. The Linzer Linien general-purpose arbeitswagen is a powerful-looking machine of 1954. It doesn’t carry a fleet number, but is just known as tram ‘A’.
SGP / ESG LL #6
16 may 2007 - Linz (AT) – depot/zajezdnia Kleinmunchen.
