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.

Boomsesteenweg

We drove to the nearby terminus Olympiade, where there are plenty of opportunities to take pictures of the tram.

Populierenlaan

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

Olympiade Poort

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

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.

The front side, with number 42. The other side (back side, because the tram was only used in one direction) received the official number 6242.
