StevieB Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I know there’s another at the National Tramway Museum at Crich in Derbyshire, so how many survived the cutter’s torch? Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush and Lusk Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Hi trainboy, That's a great discovery, intact and so far from home - I wonder what the fare might have been from Howth Head or Sutton Cross to Perris Valley CA ? , I guess that's one for the actuarially smart folks with a knowledge of the local fare structure pertaining at the time, and the time value of money calculation, (not me ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainboy Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Sorry! Forgot to add some detail about how this tram landed in SoCal. The museum plan to run the tram on the museum track which consists of a few miles of track. I was told that they have to raise the height of the upstairs siding to meet safety regulations. Looking forward to taking a trip on it when it’s up and running. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
