Комментарии к фотографиям из города Антверпен

It was probably replaced(perhaps due to an accident) as the tram in the example you gave is the same as in this picture.

I just realized, why do some Siemens MGT6 (Hermelijn) have a white door in the front
and then doesn't. For example, The Siemens MGT6-1-2A "7240" still has that white door on the front side. Does anybody have an explanation for it?

This for example: https://transphoto.org/photo/839910/

На эти стержни крепится провод, я так думаю.

На всех фотографиях из этого музея такое впечатление, будто вместо контактных проводов висят металлические стержни. Это действительно так, или кажется?

I am curious, what kind of system does Antwerp use for it's switches? Is it fully automatic or radio?

> Тот питерский снимок вошел в историю, который раз уже про него вспоминают тут. Интересно, всплывёт ли он на главной странице снова?

Конечно. И за 4 года не один раз всплыл. Стоило кому-то оставить ссылку на это фото...

Між завершенням грубого будівництва трамвайного тунелю і його остаточним відкриттям може пройти багато років.
На вже готовий відкритий укіс поклали тимчасову плиту покриття. Трамвайна тун

Теперь смотреть на рыбов можно не только в московском метро :)

Сайдинг не бывает потолочным. Сайдинг - материал для наружной отделки зданий.

дешёвый потолочный сайдинг

This tram was sent to a scrapyard the 28th of June 2023.

Great view

In this picture, it's clear to see why the tram (a year after this picture was taken) will not be returned to service. The condition of the bodywork has only worsened.

I was also present in Prague and saw also this 2 guys working.
The story is more complicated, at least in Belgium.
To ensure uniform wearing at the pantograph, the overhead line is suspended zigzagging. Grooves in the pantograph are on this way avoided. Furthermore, the overhead line is much tighter because the pressure is greater than with a trolley pole.

A few years ago, we had a very cool excursion in Brussels: a tram with a trolley was towed to some nice places to take photos. In a quiet street (where there is no longer a tram now), a number of participants wanted to ride with the trolley anyway, and this in order to film it.
The experienced organiser was radically against this, but the driver wanted to try it anyway. The street was perfectly straight but the tram didn't reach more than 50 metres. The trolley could go up and down, but the sideways movements did not go at all. For your informaton: nothing is or was wrong with this tram or the trolley pole: you can find this tram sometimes along the route 44 in Brussels. The difference is that this place is still provided to run with trolley poles and pantographs.

Below you see what I mean, here in Antwerp:

The difference, in Brussels (Tervuren):

In Prague, only 1 tram was equipped with an original trolley pole. All the other trams received reinforcements or modified versions.

Actually, yes, the wires are always the same. However, the lack of wire switches will hinder the tram.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dotYhG_Apr0 at 1:20 we see a tram with a pole and a cart with workers moving the pole as needed.

Thanks (-;

No.this is impossible.

Is it possible to move with the pole on modern wires?

No, this is Fiat. Its label on the front.
