Ezressel még én is utaztam az 56-oson (bár ma már ezen a szakaszon a 61-es jár, én azért hadd illessem ezzel a számmal), de az acélvázas volt, míg ezt a kocsit, a 1074-est 1991-ben visszaépítették favázasnak. Gyönyörű darab, a legszebb budapesti villamos, és megy, mint a golyó! Ezen a vonalon meg végképp otthon van, hiszen mind favázasként, mint acélvázasan otthon volt rajta 1912 és 1983 közt.
--------------------------------------------
Heritage streetcar number 1074 was built for the company BKVT in 1912. It's a bulky, simple but elegant vehicle with a wheelbase of 4500 millimeters. The series (the "1000ers") was rebuilt with a steel-frame body in the 1950s and 60s, and served until 1984, but this particular was "retroconverted" into its original form in 1991. Since then it has done only very few rides, because it was considered unsuited for the current network due to its large wheelbase and wheels. However, it can still be used on lines where the track geometry hasn't been altered, so on June 14, 2012 it returned to its old home line 56 - now constituting the upper half of route 61 (between Széll Kálmán tér and Hűvösvölgy).

This 16 minute video is a technical look at Calgary's Heritage Park streetcar operation taken on the opening day of the season, May 18th, 2013.
Streetcar No. 15 was used that day, a locally built replica of a type of that ran on Calgary streets for about 50 years.
The video starts with a few facts, and then we follow the streetcar from the main gate to the far station in the parking lot, a distance of about 1km and back, including a few sequences inside and outside the streetcar but with main emphasis on track, components and operation.
Finally, we view the streetcar being taken through the security gate to the car barn for the night.
I requested permission to insert a photo of this type of streetcar in operation on Calgary streets.
Image courtesy of Peel's Prairie Provinces, a digital initiative of the University of Alberta Libraries.
The view (PC005441) from their extensive postcard collection, shows streetcars, pedestrians and period cars at 8th Avenue and 1st Street SW looking east in 1927.
This portion of 8th Ave is now a busy pedestrian mall.
Around 1946 with the advent of diesel and trolley buses, streetcars were phased out from Calgary streets.
The last streetcar, No.14, made its farewell run from Ogden to City Hall On December 29th 1950.
It was donated to Heritage Park, who rebuilt it as their No. 14 and created a replica, which they numbered 15.
Starting in 1975, one or both streetcars ferried passengers from a parking lot at Heritage Drive and 14th St SW to the main gate, a short distance away.
During 2009 and 2010, the parking lot was greatly expanded and the streetcar track then extended into a wide "J" shape, with 3 stations, named ANDREW, ENCANA and DOMINION, after major donors.
Always lettered "Calgary Municipal", there was no formal name attached to the operation, until its relaunch in 2010 as the ENMAX Electric Streetcar System in recognition of the rebuilding sponsor.
While parking is free, those arriving by car and charter bus must walk a short distance to the main gate. A much better alternative for a loonie (the Canadian $1 coin), is to ride the long way around, in an old-fashioned clattering streetcar with rattan seats and a large cowcatcher in front.
Calgary Transit Route 502 connects users directly from HERITAGE LRT Station to the park's main gate, subject to regular fare or transfer. The CT website gives more details. For those who prefer pedaling, a major bike path runs in front of the Park's "Heritage Town Square", mere steps from the main gate.
A decent visit to Heritage Park is anywhere from 3 hours to a full day. Snack bar or sit down restaurant food is available, as well as ice cream and (on-site) baked goods. Old time car buffs will be very well served by Gasoline Alley, a superb collection of restored turn-of-century cars and trucks.
Other amenities include a half-hour paddlewheeler cruise on the Glenmore Reservoir, rides in a horse-drawn wagon as well as 1910s amusement park suitable for adults and kids, featuring "The Caterpillar" with its original canopy; one of only 3 of these known to be still be operating in North America.
Heritage Park is situated on 127 acres of land at 1900 Heritage Drive SW, just 20 minutes from downtown Calgary. It opened its gates to the public on July 1, 1964 and is Canada's largest living history museum, featuring a village recreated to appear as it might have been, in early-20 Century Alberta. Most of the buildings are historical and were transported to the park at the end of their life.
Please note that no pets are allowed within the park itself.

wn.com/The Calgary Heritage Park Streetcar
This 16 minute video is a technical look at Calgary's Heritage Park streetcar operation taken on the opening day of the season, May 18th, 2013.
Streetcar No. 15 was used that day, a locally built replica of a type of that ran on Calgary streets for about 50 years.
The video starts with a few facts, and then we follow the streetcar from the main gate to the far station in the parking lot, a distance of about 1km and back, including a few sequences inside and outside the streetcar but with main emphasis on track, components and operation.
Finally, we view the streetcar being taken through the security gate to the car barn for the night.
I requested permission to insert a photo of this type of streetcar in operation on Calgary streets.

The view (PC005441) from their extensive postcard collection, shows streetcars, pedestrians and period cars at 8th Avenue and 1st Street SW looking east in 1927.
This portion of 8th Ave is now a busy pedestrian mall.
Around 1946 with the advent of diesel and trolley buses, streetcars were phased out from Calgary streets.
The last streetcar, No.14, made its farewell run from Ogden to City Hall On December 29th 1950.
It was donated to Heritage Park, who rebuilt it as their No. 14 and created a replica, which they numbered 15.
Starting in 1975, one or both streetcars ferried passengers from a parking lot at Heritage Drive and 14th St SW to the main gate, a short distance away.
During 2009 and 2010, the parking lot was greatly expanded and the streetcar track then extended into a wide "J" shape, with 3 stations, named ANDREW, ENCANA and DOMINION, after major donors.
Always lettered "Calgary Municipal", there was no formal name attached to the operation, until its relaunch in 2010 as the ENMAX Electric Streetcar System in recognition of the rebuilding sponsor.

The 125th "birthday" of the International Public Transport Association (UITP) was celebrated with a big tram parade in Brussels: 31 vehicles/units were running on tram line 44. Some of them were from the Brussels tram museum, other came from other cities. I concentrated on photographing and riding these trams, and only took videos when it was took dark, but I think this mix still gives a hint what it was like that day :)
Note: this was taken with a digital photo camera, and not with a proper camera with stabilizer, hence the "quality" of the video...

A ride on Muni "boat tram" number 233, built in 1934 for use in Blackpool, England, but now traveling along the Muni tracks in San Francisco on special occasions, such as this Muni Heritage Weekend.
The trip goes from the SF Railway Museum on Steuart Street, along The Embarcadero, up to Pier 39, and then back, passing a few other historic street cars along the way.
Muni has two of the twelve boat trams that were built for the English seaside resort city of Blackpool in 1934, and both of them were out as we passed the other one, number 228 while riding in number 233.

The MATA Trolley is a heritage streetcar system operating in Memphis in the U.S. state of Tennessee. It has operated since April 29, 1993.
As of 2008, the system consists of three lines: the Main Street Trolley, the Madison Avenue Loop and the Riverfront Loop. These lines are operated by the Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA), and were put into operation over fifty years after Memphis' original streetcar network was dismantled in the 1940s. The trolleys used are almost all rehabilitated, vintage streetcars. The original three cars in operation on opening day were all formerly used in Porto, Portugal, and are Car 187, circa 1927; Car 194, circa 1935; and Car 204, circa 1940. These cars are each 30 feet 6 inches (9.3 m) long, 7 feet 10 inches (2.39 m) wide and weigh 25,820 pounds (11.71 t) without passengers. The cars were restored by Kerns-Wilcheck Associates of Memphis. Three additional ex-Porto cars (156, 164 and 180) joined them within weeks, and the fleet had six cars (all ex-Porto single-truckers) by May 1993.
Between the mid-1990s and 2003, the Gomaco Trolley Company supplied an additional ten cars: nine reconditioned Melbourne, Australia type W2 cars and one single-truck car (No. 1979) that was built new by Gomaco in 1993, originally as a demonstrator. There is also car 1794, which was originally an open-sided car from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but was heavily rebuilt and enclosed before entering service in Memphis. The most recent addition, in early 2004, is a replica Birney Safety Car, manufactured by Gomaco, the same cars used on the TECO Line Streetcar System in Tampa, Florida.
The fleet and overhead wires were converted from trolley pole to pantograph current collection in early 2003, during a three-month suspension of service which started on January 5, 2003. Source: Wikipedia.

SEPTA's Trolley Route 15, the Girard Avenue Line is a Heritage Streetcar line, operated by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), along Girard Avenue through North and West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. As of 2007, it is the only surface trolley line in the City Transit Division that is not part of the Subway--Surface Trolley Lines (although it is designated as such on SEPTA's rail maps). SEPTA PCC II vehicles are used on the line.
The line was first opened in 1859 as a horse car line operated by the Richmond and Schuylkill River Passenger Railway, and electrified in 1895. Service was suspended (replaced with buses) in 1992, along with Route 23 (Germantown Avenue-11th and 12th Streets) and Route 56 (Torresdale-Erie Avenues). On September 4, 2005, trolley service was restored.
As of April 29, 2012, east of Frankford Ave the line is operated by buses due to major reconstruction, west of Frankford is still run by PCC II. Trolleys now terminate at Frankford and Delaware Avenue (Northern Liberties Loop), buses terminate at Girard Station under the Market-Frankford Line.
