Bytom Four-wheeler.

1 Comment

On a trip to Poland in August 2006, I made a few photos of the four-wheel trams at Bytom.

At the time these were some of the last traditional four-wheel trams in regular revenue service and represented a carry-over from an earlier era.

For me, it was an opportunity to photograph one of Europe’s most obscure transit lines. Thanks to Michael Walsh of the Irish Railway Record Society for recommending this location.

I made this view using a Nikon F3 loaded with Fujichrome Sensia II (100 ISO).

    I was there in 2004. I think the line is now past tense. It was single track up a few blocks from the rest of the lines in that City area. I thought the system was very much like what Pittsburgh was up till 1970.
