Trams, Trolleys and Streetcars

A tram in Istanbul which went down a very busy street...

(This is a different tram but on the same route)

The Championship is contested in teams submitted by European transport agencies who compete in eight disciplines. The event's goal is to honor the best team of tramdrivers in Europe.

This one got my attention because it is in retro color scheme. It was on regular line but runs also sometimes on H4 line here, so it is museum piece.

The heating on the switch around the 13 minute mark seems to have failed, and the driver is unable to force it to properly change manually, causing this tram on line 9 to detour onto line 7 for a bit.

The tram is able to get back on its own line after turning right at 33 minutes, driving along line 1 for a couple blocks, and then turning left at the next switch, back onto its own line.
