It was a shame that Washington DC's streetcars were eliminated from September 1958 to January 1962. Had the Washington streetcars been kept, the 99 Copenhagen Duwag streetcars could have been bought by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority in 1969 and served from 1970 to 2015. Then 2 former Copenhagen Streetcars could have come back from Washington DC to Copenhagen via the Antonov 225 --the world's largest freight plane......I remember the streetcars in Copenhagen from my visit to Copenhagen in 1969-70 when I was 7 years old. I am too young to remember the Washington DC Streetcars in their 1st guise.

Very ambitious. Sure DC would've ordered trams/streetcars a bit closer to home. Problem then i recon, like the railroads was an increasing interest in cars, that unfortunately killed most of the streetcar lines around the US. I think it was detroit where General Motors bought the entire network, only to close it and eventually force people into cars.

But its not a big shame. Watching i see the Dussseldorf cars was abbandoned at the same period. In Brazil, Rio de Janeiro have a lot of fixed cars stopped, abbandoned at the weater after the works. This is a real big shame!

Ja 19 år senere og arbejdet på disse vogne er vist stadig langt fra færdigt.

Egypt was strongly present in this field, as it began operating the Alexandria tram in 1863 AD and you were working in electricity in 1902 AD, and it spreads in the tram network of the city of Alexandria, the sand line called the blue tram and the city center line and an icon starting from the branch lines such as the line west of the city called the tram Yellow, the government's e-mail continued development of the city's tram network, More information and pictuers: alymousa.blogspot.com/2019/11/blog-post_26.html
