Milestone photo number 1300, and to celebrate this a change of pace. Whilst shooting the last H-class trams with trolleys in Glenelg almost next to the tram terminus was the Magic Mountain where a Miss Beach girl contest was being conducted. Will show the winners in due course. In the mean time feel free to make a guess who the winner may be. These type of public contests have since long been abandoned for the sake of political correctness.....

615 en 619 botsten frontaal op de Kruising Van Woustraat en Ceintuurbaan vanwege een foute wisselstand niet opgemerkt door de bestuurder van de 615. Voor de eenmanswagens in dienst kwamen legde de conducteur 'vaste' wissels weer terug op remiseritten. A serious frontal collision took place on a major intersection in Amsterdam due to the points not being put back by the conductor which was the standard operational procedure before trams without conductor where introduced.

This interurban tramline was operating in an extremely contrasting environment, from sleepy villages alongside the road to mixing it with the Milan Metro system. Metro trains had tiny pantographs on these tracks and used third rail power supply underground.

Bombardier Flexity classic 103 never made it one piece to Adelaide. Due to shifting cargo on the carrying vessel she was damaged beyond repair and has to be the only tram ever meeting such an unfortunate destiny, not a meter in revenue service. Replacement car 112 entered service as 103 again.
