Old tram

I used to live in this area when I was younger (so much younger than today :-) and we used to travel with trams on this line. The city scrapped the trams in the 60s because it was not "a transportation solution for the future" and it was replaced by more busses. Fast forward 50 years and they are now building a new tram system here only this time they call it a "light rail transit" - it is the same thing with a fancy name.

Anyway, I got quite nostalgic when I saw this today. It is like a tiny open air museum with one exhibit from my childhood :-)

Walked home from town today: 17400 steps or (about 11.2km). Most of the steps where uphill

I gathered from your previous post that you had quite a steep hill to climb, well done! Such a wonderful capture of your childhood memory, a pity that it had to go.

That's quite a walk . They did the same thing with trams here in the UK in the 50s and 60s too and now some towns and cities are reintroducing them

Attractive tram. Good work on the steps.

My goodness, what a walk! They’ve done the same thing in Sydney. Past = trams. Now = light rail. With no where near the style of that cute yellow time capsule.
