Posted by Joe on Tue Oct 9 20:52:35 2012, in response to PCC and other Trolley Question?????, posted by Avid Reader on Wed Oct 3 17:52:34 2012. Thanks for posting the photos of MBTA 3329 and 3334, purchased from Dallas. Thanks also to someone in the thread for posting the photos of the Pacific Electric double-end cars with double-flow doors front and center, as we had on Broadway with the Huffliners. They always seemed better than cars with a single rear exit.---- On a different topic, I was surprised to see today that Riga, Latvia, uses long trolley poles rather than pantographs. A visitor posted on Drehscheibe an excellent series taken 7 October (with autumn leaves!). The older cars are PCC's. I haven't figured out why the trolley poles are so lengthy. --- The Dreischeibe URL's are specific to the page, so a link is problematic. Go to www.drehscheibe-foren.de, then look for Strassenbahn Forum. Then go down the list of topics until you see the word Riga. Carltram has posted 25 photos of the Riga system. It appears that one route has received new equipment, new wire, and pantographs. |
