West Berlin car No. 3833 in 1955 - a photo on Flickriver

West Berlin car No. 3833 in 1955

            An old amateur photograph (just 2" x 2") from a large collection of old European tram photos that I bought. This one is of BVG-West (West Berlin) car No. 3833 and a trailer car at the Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten (Bahnhof Zoological Garden) station showing '51 - Roseneck' destination indicators.

The photo reverse is annotated "Line 51 - Bahnhof Zoo - 1955 - K. J. Harder", Harder is the photographer whose name appears on a number of these photos.

The Berlin tramway system split into East (BVG-Ost) and West in Aug 1949, between 1949-55 trolley poles were replaced by pantographs, and the last West Berlin tram ran in Oct 1967.

The full destination list for tram service 51 was 'Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten – Roseneck', the service closed in May 1957 and was replaced by bus route 'A60' (the current line number is 249).

I have very little information about European trams or tramways, I bought the collection of old pictures rather than take the chance that they would be thrown away if unsold.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.

📷  Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location.  📷
