MAN NL313 Lion`s City #SR-584A
4 october 2008 - Steyr, Obere Schiffweg.
Duewag GT6 #42
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck, Austria - Museumstrasse.
Duewag GT8ZR #84
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck, Austria – Bergisel. Under some SERIOUS overhead wiring, a Stubaitalbahn service from Fulpmes comes through the IVB depot yard, having descended the steep ramp in the background. This is the only connection, as the Stubaitalbahn was a separate, high voltage line terminating here and it is only in recent years it has been linked to the city tramways. The Innsbruck trolleybus lines closed in Spring 2007 – the overhead wire engineers were very happy……….
Duewag GT6 #31
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck, Austria - Museumstrasse. Deuwag 31 is in its last full year of service in Innsbruck before being sold on for further service in Arad, Romania.
Duewag GT6 #41
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck, Austria - Maria-Theresien-Strasse. Car 41 passes through the city centre on a local service - these trams are now being replaced by low-floor cars.
Duewag GT6 #33
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck, Austria - Maria-Theresien-Strasse. An IVB city car passes through the city centre. Trams now only run in one direction in this street and the trolleybuses are gone.

Duewag GT8ZR #86
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck, Austria - Hauptbahnhof. A Stubaitalbahn tram leaves Innsbruck for the long journey to Fulpmes.

Duewag GT8 #53
14 may 2007 - Innsbruck, Austria – Muhlsee. Never get off a tram here unless you fancy a long wait! Muhlsee is a little halt on the way to Igls on the scenic Line 6. Except at peak times, just one tram runs an hourly service on this line, which is only open during the summer months.
Duewag GT8ZR #83
14 may 2007 - Fulpmes, Austria. The Stubaitalbahn station at Fulpmes is as far as a tram can go along the valley. This picture show why - huge mountains block the way on all sides.
Duewag GT8ZR #83
14 may 2007 - Fulpmes, Austria. Inside Deuwag car 83, the original schaffnerplatz (conductor’s desk) still remains at each end, although no longer used. The 2 + 1 seating is very comfortable.
Duewag GT8ZR #83
14 may 2007 - Fulpmes, Austria – At the pretty little Stubaitalbahn station, GT8 car 83 waits with a morning service to Innsbruck. Until earlier this year, IVB Innsbruck was an all-Deuwag operation, but low-floor cars are now creeping in to replace many of these attractive and well-maintained cars.
WStB BH #6400
7 may 2007 - Wien, Austria – depot/zajezdnia . A works car converted from an old Type B passenger tram into a tractor to tow through the city’s tram subways.
SGP ULF B #698
5 may 2007 - Wien, Austria – Urban-Loritz-Platz. A really wet night, as the striking overall roof frames ULF car 698 on Line 49.

Graz GM #5
12 may 2007 - Gmunden, Austria – Kuferkelle. The other historic car at Gmunden is this 1911 Graz-built tram. Here it climbs steadily along narrow back streets, on the way up from the lake to the railway station – another very squeezy tram place!

Graz Pöstlingberg Sommertriebwagen #100
12 may 2007 - Gmunden, Austria – Gmundner Keramik. Another view of car 100 shows just how very tiny it is. Note the bow collector for electrical current and the curtains that can be drawn across if it rains. Any one of these gentlemen could be the driver - I hope they can agree who it is, before they reach the big hill down to the lake…….

Graz Pöstlingberg Sommertriebwagen #100
12 may 2007 - Gmunden, Austria – Bahnhofstrasse. Open ‘toastrack’ tram 100 is one of the three original open cars of the Postlingbergbahn at Linz. It is now based here and used for special trips, like this evening tour.

Lohner T4 #8
12 may 2007 - Gmunden, Austria - Alois-Kaltenbruner-Strasse. This tiny 2.3km long tramway, owned by the famous Stern und Hafferl company, has run since 1894 from Gmunden railway station, down to the town centre on a maximum gradient of 10%. Car 8, seen near the top of the hill, is a genuine Austrian Lohner from 1961. A modern, low-floor Flexity Outlook tram has recently been tested in Gmunden – is nothing sacred?

Graz WLB 220/230 #231
6 may 2007 - Wien Tramway Museum, Erdberg. A traditional 1920s Wien-Baden interurban car waits to give free rides at a special open day.
SGP GT8 #4124
8 may 2007 - Wien, Austria – Ring/Oper. At journey’s end in central Wien, WLB trams terminate alongside city trams on the famous Ringstrasse. Car 4-124 waits for the next trip to Baden as Wien 4544 passes on a Line 62 service.
SGP GT8 #4101
7 may 2007 - Guntramsdorf, Austria – Feldgasse. A Baden-bound tram disappears down the little village street in Guntramsdorf. WLB also run freight trains, of course, but not on these tracks.
Bombardier T2500 #403
7 may 2007 - Guntramsdorf, Austria – Feldgasse. For a short distance in Guntramsdorf, WLB trams take to the street again. Car 403 leads a high floor/low floor pair towards Baden along the narrow village street.
Bombardier T2500 #402
7 may 2007 - Baden, Austria – Waltersdorferstrasse. Car 402 is a different and later design. What a strange paint scheme – it looks like someone dropped a paint tin on the roof. Ugh! These new trams also look a little odd running together with the classic Deuwag-style cars but this is deliberate, as the new trams have low floors, but the older cars don’t.
SGP GT8 #4104
7 may 2007 - Baden, Austria – Waltersdorferstrasse. Another view of gutter-running in Baden. Car 4-104 leads a two-car train towards Wien.
SGP GT8 #4117
7 may 2007 - Baden, Austria – Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Ring. In Baden, the interurban trams run on single track in the gutter as far as the city limits, where the high speed tracks begin – just like all those American interurban lines of the 1920s and 1930s. Classic stuff!
SGP GT8 #4102
7 may 2007 - Baden, Austria – Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Ring. Directly on leaving the WLB terminus, trams run into the centre of the street. Compared to city trams, these are very large and imposing vehicles – inside, they have wide, comfortable seats and tables for the long ride into central Wien. Until a few years ago, you could buy coffee or beer as you travelled.
SGP GT8 #4112
7 may 2007 - Baden, Austria – Josefsplatz. Another view of the Baden dead-end terminal station – directly on the street and well placed to serve the whole town. WLB cars 4-112 (left) and 4-111 wait to start their journeys to central Wien. These two trams are actually identical, but a slightly different paint scheme makes them look different.
SGP GT8 #4111
7 may 2007 - Baden, Austria – Josefsplatz. The classic Wien-Baden interurban (as its name suggests) runs from the small town of Baden, along high speed reserved tracks and then via the Wien tram subways to the city streets. The line runs every 15 minutes and carries over 30,000 passengers each day. This is the stub terminus in Baden.
MAN NM223.3 #BB-6070
30 august 2008 - Krems an der Donau, Gögl Straße.

8 november 2008 - Wien, Kahlenberg.
MAN NL313 #K 4512
8 november 2008 - Klosterneuburg, Klosterneuburger-Bundesstraße.
Gräf & Stift D #4301
6 may 2007 - Wien/Vienna – Erdberg tramway museum. Car 4301 is an experimental Type D tram from 1957, built by Graf und Stift. It was constructed by joining two 1926 four-wheelers together to form this articulated vehicle (in England, we call this type “two rooms and a bath”). This was the first of many articulated cars in the Wien fleet

Z Class tram #4208
6 may 2007 - Wien/Vienna – Erdberg tramway museum. A 1939 Third Avenue Railway tram, one of a batch sent to Wien in 1949 as part of the Marshall Plan to re-equip war-torn European cities and was classified as the Wien Z Type. Because of their great width and length, these could only be used on certain routes with widely-spaced tracks.
Graz D #244
6 may 2007 - Wien/Vienna – Erdberg tramway museum. One of the oldest electric trams in the Wien museum collection is this Graz-built car from 1900. It is standing next to a tram from the Third Avenue Railway System in New York.
Graz tram #121
6 may 2007 - Wien/Vienna – Erdberg tramway museum. Car 121 is a typical Graz four-wheeler from 1921. It was on loan to the Wien museum in 2007 and was regularly operated through the local streets. It is shown here just leaving the museum depot.
Lohner T1 #408
6 may 2007 - Wien/Vienna – Lechnerstrasse. Despite the fact that the Erdberg tramway museum contains over 100 vehicles, Wiener Linien can come up with even more historic trams from its own hire fleet. Type T1 408 is a frequent performer on city tours and other special workings.
Simmering-Graz-Pauker Type L tram #502
6 may 2007 - Wien/Vienna – Erdberg tramway museum. Car 502 is a typical Wien tram of the 1960s and was designed to run with a matching trailer. As you can see, the museum is quite good for photos, as the trams are spaced out and the lighting is excellent.
Simmering Type SP works tram #6007
6 may 2007 - Wien/Vienna – Erdberg tramway museum. Vienna has a very large tramway and was always well-provided with works cars of different shapes and sizes. Sadly, all the more exotic ones have now gone and the works fleet is quite standardised. A few years ago, however, trams like this were a frequent sight in the city.
Graz WLB 220/230 #TW231
6 may 2007 - Wien/Vienna – Erdberg tramway museum. As well as operating its own trams, the Wien museum can sometimes arrange for visiting historic cars to run in nearby streets. Here, an impressive interurban car from the local Wiener Lokalbahn swings into Lechnerstrasse on a circular tour from the museum.
Gräf & Stift DD-2FU #9935
6 may 2007 - Wien/Vienna – Erdberg tramway museum. A truly magnificent three-axle double-deck bus that operated in the city from 1961. It is now housed in the Erdberg museum, but still belongs to Wiener Linien.
Simmering G4 #345
6 may 2007 - Type G4 of 1903 by Grazer Waggonfabrik rebuilt 1948 by Waggonfabrik Simmering. Wien/Vienna – Erdberg tramway museum. The wonderful Wien tramway museum is one of the finest in the world (if not THE finest?). The city has kept a great many old vehicles and, as well as opening their buildings to the public, operates trams regularly throughout the year. Their collection is over 100 vehicles, all kept under cover in an old tram depot. Every tram fan should try to go there! This picture shows just a small part of one depot building.
Graz tram #2008
9 may 2007 - Graz, Austria – tramway museum Mariatrost. Another view of the Lodz works car. This relic dates from the earliest days of electric tramways (1898) and is very original, although the body has been dismantled.
Graz tram #2008
9 may 2007 - Graz, Austria – tramway museum Mariatrost. An amazing survivor. This Lodz works car was built in 1898 for the independent Mariatrosterbahn and operated from this exact spot until 1942. The line was then re-gauged and connected to the city tramways and several of the unwanted metre gauge cars were sent to Lodz. 2008 became a works car and was eventually taken back to Graz, where it is complete but dismantled at the Graz Tramway Museum. In the corner is a little photo of the car working in Lodz (author unknown).

ESG T2 #XI
11 may 2007 - Linz, Austria – depot/zajezdnia Kleinmunchen. Postlingberg cars XI, VIII and X stand in the workshop on special 900mm temporary bogies. They were just stored when I visited - now they are possibly scrapped. What a great shame!
ESG T2 #XVI
11 may 2007 - Linz, Austria, Postlingbergbahn. The lower terminus – city trams stop just outside. In a supreme act of official vandalism, all this has been swept away so that low-floor trams can run up the Postlingberg directly from Linz city centre. The line is currently closed and will reopen next year with new 900mm tracks and new trams. I think that just one or two of these old trams will remain for tourists, somehow modernised and re-gauged.
ESG T2 #XIV
11 may 2007 - Linz, Austria – Postlingbergbahn. Leaving an intermediate passing loop, the trams hit the heavy gradient once again. Note the use of trolley poles.
ESG T2 #XIV
11 may 2007 - Linz, Austria – Postlingbergbahn. Two two-car trains pass at one of the intermediate stops. The hooks on the front and rear of each tram are to carry prams and pushchairs. One odd feature of the Postlingbergbahn is the numbering system, using Roman numerals.
ESG T2 #XVIII
11 may 2007 - Linz, Austria – Postlingbergbahn. The Postlingbergbahn is a separate, metre-gauge line to the top of a hill. The maximum gradient is a crazy 12%, operated as a normal tramway without rack or cable – just special brakes to control the descent. Here, you can see the huge gradient as a tram approaches a road crossing.

SGP / ESG LL #6
11 may 2007 - Linz, Austria – Durerstrasse. Car 6 and matching trailer 109 were constructed in 1950 to quite an old looking design. They are just two of several nice trams in the Linz historic fleet.
Bombardier Cityrunner #001
11 may 2007 - Linz, Austria – Wiener-Bundestrasse. Car 001 was the first Cityrunner to enter service and wears this striking silver design to promote the tramway.

Rotax GT10 #68
11 may 2007 - Linz, Austria – Wiener-Bundestrasse. Car 68 is a Rotax car built to the Duwag GT10 design, shown here passing the depot.
Rotax GT10 #44
11 may 2007 - Linz, Austria – Kleinmunchen. Car 44 is a Rotax design, built before the Cityrunners arrived. The indicator screens are pretty useless – this actually says Line 1.
Bombardier Cityrunner #006
11 may 2007 - Linz, Austria – Kleinmunchen. A Cityrunner of the same design as those running in Lodz. Linz tramways do not often feature here, but this is quite an interesting system. The trams have been steadily modernised or replaced and a long tram subway was built beneath the railway station area. Notice the very narrow (900mm) gauge.
