Tram parade in Tallinn celebrates system's 125th anniversary (2013)Today (24.08.2013) is Tallinn Tram Day, marking 125 years since the first horse-drawn tram, or konka began operating in 1888. Interesting events are taking place to commemorate the anniversary, and all residents and visitors of Tallinn are invited to participate. This morning at 11:00 a.m., the gates of the Kopli historical tram depot will open, marking the start of an open day that will last until 1:00 p.m. The board of Tallinnna Linnatranspordi AS (TLT) will solemnly raise the flag and declare the day open. All interested parties will have the opportunity to get to know the old trams and listen to explanations from experts, while a good brass band will create a cheerful atmosphere. There will also be a quiz, the winners of which will receive prizes. Balloons with the tram's anniversary logo will be distributed on site, and an Estonian Post employee will stamp thematic postcards with a special stamp. At 1 p.m., the parade of historic trams will begin through the city, following the route from the Kopli depot to Kadriorg, Viru Square, Vabaduse Square, Tondi, and back to the Kopli depot. Seven trams of different ages and purposes will participate. The oldest of them is a horse-drawn tram, or konkavagun, which was built in 1988 at the Tallinn tram depot based on old photographs. In reality, such an open konkavagun ran around Tallinn from 1888 to 1918. A brass band will accompany the konkavagun during the parade. Also in the line is the "Pauliine", which was converted into a café tram in 1993, and which was first manufactured in 1965 at the Gotha factory in the then German Democratic Republic. In addition, an electric motor wagon, or brush tram, manufactured in 1951 in cooperation with the "Ilmaris" factory, can be seen at the parade. Other special-purpose tram cars are undoubtedly interesting, such as a brushing and grinding tram and a tram for contact network repair. The parade will end with a newer articulated tram, which was modernized and equipped with a low-floor central section in 2004. A festive reception will be held at Tallinn Town Hall next Wednesday, August 28, at 6 p.m., during which dignified tram workers will be awarded certificates of honor and commemorative medals. Currently, TLT has a total of 78 trams. In 2015, 16 completely new, modern trams were due to arrive from the Spanish CAF factory.By lennartkns - August 24, 2013.

Tallinn tram (2013)Some impressions of the tram in the Estonian capital. There are three variants of the KT4 car type in operation. The original blue cars that were built for Tallinn when it was part of the Soviet Union at the time. Some of these cars were extended by installing a low-floor middle section in 2004. In addition, many former Erfurt KT4 cars run in Tallinn. They all still have their old red and white color from Erfurt (unless they have full advertising).By QueenMary2151 - September 2013.

Tallinn Trams (2014)Love moved into the past like a tram living out its last days. Someone calls the stops, but we can't hear the words that have been forgotten. The ticket doesn't match, and no wishes are coming true. Someone else will board our tram, and the lucky one will tear off the ticket. Draw a pleading sign on the glass. Draw an exclamation mark on the glass. The wheels are knocking at me; you are neither a friend nor an enemy: question mark, exclamation mark. The wheels are knocking at me; you are neither a friend nor an enemy. Draw a question mark on the glass. Draw an exclamation mark on the glass. And someone will think, something's wrong here. The rails were in the way of the old streets. The tram bell woke the roads. We're taking a long time to make a decision. Someone has to get off first. Turn. Our little carriage started. The branch rustled on the glass. We have completed the circle. The road ended yesterday and tomorrow at the corner. Draw a question mark on the glass. Draw an exclamation mark on the glass. The wheels are knocking at me; you are neither a friend nor an enemy: question mark, exclamation mark. The wheels are knocking at me; you are neither a friend nor an enemy. Draw a question mark on the glass. Draw an exclamation mark on the glass. And someone will think, something's wrong here.By Eastalgija - December 14, 2014.

The Tram System With A Bright Future: Tallinn Tram 🇪🇪 | Urban Transport #2 (2022)The tram network of Tallinn is a fascinating one, although it is relatively small, and the city is continually working on it. :) Enjoy this short video about it! This will eventually become part of another series I will work on, where I will discuss other transit systems and similar topics. In today's episode: Tallinn, Estonia🇪🇪 Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:44 History 02:00 Network 04:09 Ridership 05:08 Fleet 06:18 Future 07:11 Outro Hello and welcome to Tallinn, the beautiful capital of Estonia. In today's video, we'll explore the city's tram network. Tallinn's tram system is the only one in Estonia and forms the core of the city's public transportation. The network is poised for expansion and will also serve as a vital international link. Let's take a closer look at this small but interesting network. The tram network has a long history. The horse-drawn tram line began operating in Tallinn in 1888, when the city was still called Reval. This tram used a gauge of 1067 millimeters, which is still the gauge of Tallinn's trams today. Later, it was joined by a steam tram that transported workers from the city center to Kopli, the industrial district. This line was built by a major local shipyard. The steam tram used the same gauge, an older version of the Russian standard gauge. Electric trams started running in Tallinn in 1925 on the former Holster line. A few years later, the line to Kopli was re-gauged to match the 1067-millimeter network. However, with the onset of World War II and the subsequent Soviet annexation, the expansion and upgrade of the tram network paused in the 1950s. The network underwent minor upgrades, including the addition of a second track on the Kopli section and its extension to Ulemiste. After Estonia regained independence, the network expanded to the airport. Between 2014 and the end of 2017, most of the tram system underwent reconstruction and modernization. Today, the Tallinn tram network comprises four lines, covering a total of 42.8 kilometers of track, all of which are double-tracked. There are two depots, and trams typically run at a 10-minute interval, with a 5-minute headway on interchange sections due to interlining. The gauge allows tight turns, which are helpful in several spots. 600-volt DC overhead wires power it. On the map, the network is represented by the following lines: Line 1 to Kopli, Line 2 to Kopli-Surpal, Line 3 to Kadriorg, and Line 4 from Dondi to the airport. All lines meet at Hobyaama, a stop east of the Old Town near the Viru Keskus shopping mall. Viru Keskus is also a significant hub for Tallinn's bus system. As mentioned earlier, Tallinn has two tram depots: one located along Perho Mante and another in Kopli. The tram connects to Balti Jaam—the central railway station—on lines 1 and 2. Tallinn Airport is located at the end of Line 4, and the intercity bus station is situated along Lines 2 and 4. Smaller stops include Urmasta online four and Dondi, the endpoints of lines 3 and 4. The ferry terminal currently does not have a direct tram connection, but more on that later in the video. The tram network is heavily used, with nearly 30 million riders in 2019—about 82,000 daily passengers. Ridership dropped sharply in 2020 due to the pandemic, to 17.2 million, or around 47,000 daily. As of now, the 2021 annual report has not been released yet. Interestingly, public transportation has been free for Tallinn residents since 2013 to cut car traffic and keep transit affordable. This policy has slightly boosted ridership and improved the public’s view of transit. It also benefits those with fewer resources and reduces transportation costs for businesses and residents. Tallinn’s trams are primarily built by the Czech manufacturer Tatra. The most common type is the KT4, which can be secondhand from German cities or bought new. Some are still in original condition, being two-car units with older interiors. There’s also KT6, an extended version of KT4 that increases capacity and offers accessibility. The original KT4 has been extended with semi-low-floor middle cars. Additionally, Tallinn has some custom rebuilds of KT4 classics, creating some of the nicest vintage trams I’ve seen. In 2014, Tallinn added a new tram, the Gölherbals AXL, which is the most modern in the fleet. These trams were part of a deal in which Estonia sold some carbon emission rights to Spain. The Gölherbals AXL trams have a few design flaws, including flickering lights during braking and very loud motors. Traction converters probably cause the loud noises. These trams are completely low-floor.By dronthego - July 24, 2022.
