International Railroad Discussion > "Red Car" ride ..down under fashionDate: 12/23/16 17:58 "Red Car" ride ..down under fashion Author: bakersfielddave a few weeks ago i traveled to Sydney ,Australia to participate in a vintage 1927 era electric train tour
it used part of the subway system as well these are not street interurban trolleys but purpose built commuter heavy rail train sets dating back some 90 years in some ways they resemble the old PE of Los Angeles and perhaps other MU cars like the Pennsy MP54's these cars may pre date some of the PE trolleys i guess You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos.

being footboard Trolleys you can see how the conductors collected fares from outside, a dangerous job at times You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos. Join Today!

i dont think there are too many of these machines operating in the 21st Century anywhere? the restoration work is magnificent this one burned wood and coal Sydney and a few other Australian towns had many of these in service up till the 1940s You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos.
