Miscellaneous 4-axle tram #
19 february 2010 - Alexandria (EG) - Mustafa Kamel. Someone forgot to tell the builders of this amazing 'fantasy' tram when to stop. Look closely, and you will see that the middle part is an old 4-wheel tram body, which has been mounted on a long bogie trailer underframe (possibly from one of the original Ramleh line double-deckers). Then more and more parts have been added....... I just love the verandah upstairs. I'd like to charter this tram and ride along up here whilst English tea and cucumber sandwiches are served by a white-coated waiter, as 1920s jazz music is played on an old gramophone.

19 february 2010 - Alexandria, Egypt - Mustafa Kamel tramway depot: I wonder just where to start in describing this truly amazing works car of the Ramleh interurban lines? Based on the body of a very old four-wheel tram with open platforms, it has been extended to fit onto a chassis which appers to have come from a bogie double-decker. Everything possible has then been added, so the car is equipped for anything it is likely to encounter, including an upstairs balcony where you can sit back with a glass of cold beer. It looks rather like those trick cars that clowns have at the circus - one bang and the whole thing falls apart!

Miscellaneous 4-axle tram #601
20 february 2010 - Alexandria, Mustafa Kamel depot. And at the end of our trip around this depot - a historical tramcar, which you can ride along route number 1 for one Egyptian pound. Sadly - the tram had a problem with its bogies whilst we were there so we couldn't take a ride with it.

20 february 2010 - Alexandria (EG) – depot/zajezdnia Mustafa Kamel. Inside #601. This tram is probably not as old as it first appears, as it has Alsthom controllers – 1960s perhaps?

20 february 2010 - Alexandria (EG) – depot/zajezdnia Mustafa Kamel. The Ramleh interurban line has kept this bogie tram from an earlier generation of cars and runs it regularly in normal service, principally for tourists. Local people love to use it, however, and will happily pay the extra fare (four times the normal price) to ride on it.

11 january 2012 - Aleksandria. Wygląda na to, że zabytek obsługuje też normalne kursy. Mam nadzieję, że jako wtyczka bo różnica w pojemości jego i trójskładu (czasem z piętrusem) jest znaczna.
