The Trams of Kharkov

Trams, or street cars, hold a particular fascination to me. A city is not a city unless it has trams (exclude Wolverhampton as I don't like that place very much)

Trolley buses were prevalent in the USSR and some were exported to Athens (like this but painted yellow).

Here is a single car on a long thin route to a park outside Kharkov.

I like the over sized pantograph


The loading of walking cargo appears to take place in the middle of a busy street

This is probably the personal transport of the Mayor of Kharkov

The biggest samovar in the Ukraine

Förderwagenhalle der Freude

An absolutely delightful and splendid tram shed we found whilst ambling through the 13rd Bezirk of Vienna last weekend at around 12:07pm.  It should be noted that  trams in Vienna only go one way  so to enter this shed they must reverse in.
