Any trip to Prague to tram-fan wouldn't be complete
without visiting some of the several bridges across the Vltava that
carry trams (there's eight of them!). The photos below show two
bridges. The Manesuv Most gives some great photo opportunities with
the Prague Castle and St. Vitus' Cathedral up on the hill in the
distance. There's also some other interesting photo opportunities
on the system, like a section of gantlet trackage that runs through a
building, and several locations with interesting buildings-- like
churches-- providing scenic backdrops. There's even a couple of grand
unions with trams going every which way, including one (at Palmovka)
which is a grand union with no automobile traffic.
Prague has an extensive tram museum rivaling those in
Vienna and the National Tramway Museum in England. I believe they have
seven motor cars available for charters. They also run a regular
service (route 91) on weekends which loops from the museum Depot at
Stresovice down past Prague Castle on the west side of the Vltava
River to the Old Town on the east side, and back. We ran three days of
charters using motor cars 240, 351, 412, 2110, 3062. I'll try to fill
in some more information about these as I have a chance. Each motor
car had one or two trailers as well. There were additional cars in the
"active" carbarn that we didn't use, and the museum collection has a
large number of other cars on static display in an adjoining barn.
The fan trips took us out many of the lines with photo stops along the
way, as well as into several of the depots along the lines.
