Antwerpen, tramvaju vagons № 6202

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

Stelplaats Deurne (August Van de Wielelei)

A very enthusiastic participant cleaned up the tram before departure. The mirrors of the trams from Ghent do not fit into the car wash, which means that the tram is rarely cleaned.

Ruggeveldlaan

This route is not used in normal service and here too a photo stop could be organised without any problems. The indication on the tram is correct: for a short time the route was used for the exit of line 12 from the depot.

Halenstraat

Line 12 was of course also visited. A picture that in normal circumstances is almost impossible to realize due to the busy and chaotic traffic, could be taken here.

Koningin Astridplein

The Chinese gate near the central station is of course also a popular theme and this could be realized.

Sint-Laureiskaai

This type of tram never arrives in the vicinity of the MAS. Because there are some nice photo opportunities there, it was decided to go there for a ride.

Van Meterenkaai

The building of the pilotage is also a nice theme for a photo stop.

Antwerpen,  SNCV Standard wooden motor car  № 9994
Antwerpen — Excursion with Ghent trams 6202 and 42 (15/09/2019)

Lange Gasthuisstraat

The participants were very enthusiastic that a crossing with the 9994 (museum tram) was going to take place. We were informed by telephone at the last moment that this tram was on its way. It's not historically correct: neither an interurban tram nor a Ghent tram have ever driven there. But it is the first crossing in Antwerp of both types of trams...

Leopoldplaats

An evergreener on every excursion is a stop on the service tracks of the Leopoldplaats. This is easy to achieve, the sun is well positioned and it is a nice spot.

Antwerpen,  BN PCC Antwerpen  № 7001 
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.
