The Wheels Have Fallen Off!

Not Quite! This is a tram wheel discarded at the
TramwayMuseum Sydney south. Apparently these
were considered dangerous after a couple of mishaps
when the wheels caught fire! The guys at the Museum
were more than accomodating with letting me take images,
I even had a young guy give me the guided tour while
snapped away.There are over 45 Trams at the place and
most in full working order.

The old kit lens suprised me with its sharpness.

Jethro,

Great stuff.

The San Francisco streetcars - exactly like that one - still run from Fisherman's Wharf to The Castro.

And we're in the process of planning a group visit to the museum for some time in the not too distant future. You didn't happen to pick up any pamphlets and stuff during your visit, perchance?
