Antwerpen — Excursion with Ghent trams 6202 and 42 (15/09/2019)

Stelplaats Hoboken (Jan Van de Wouwerstraat)

The special part of this excursion was that it was possible to use tram 42.
Perhaps this is the very last time: the cultural project, for which the tram was used, has come to an end. Nobody is interested in this tram anymore and it is in a very bad condition, both techical and the bodywork.

The Populierenlaan, part of the Olympiade endstation, was also a good place for a photo stop.

The typical buildings from the 1930s also formed a theme for a short photo stop.

Antwerpen — Excursion with Ghent trams 6202 and 42 (15/09/2019)

Stelplaats Hoboken (Jan Van de Wouwerstraat)

The classic line-up took place at the Hoboken site. This required a lot of preparation, because it was not evident to keep these 2 tracks free and also to make sure that the 7001 was there.

Mechelsesteenweg

The backside of the tram, with number 6242. The tram was driving in only one direction in Antwerp and was never used as bi-directional car.
