Some of the Most Insane Tram Footage from Alexandria, Egypt (2022)In all my travels I have never seen such an interesting system of old trams battling all kinds of vehicles, pedestrians, markets and trash for space. I applaud Alexandria for maintaining its tram network but some improvements are desired. - Want to use my footage in your videos? Email me at timpatsuk1@gmail.com and I can provide the raw files from this video (without the filmed by "Timothy Migliore") overlay for a fee.

The two trams from Alexandria return - TV-Lorry (2001)It was a shame that Washington, DC's streetcars were eliminated from September 1958 to January 1962. Had the Washington streetcars been kept, the 99 Copenhagen Duwag streetcars could have been bought by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority in 1969 and served from 1970 to 2015. Then, two former Copenhagen Streetcars could have been transported back from Washington, DC, to Copenhagen via the Antonov 225, the world's largest freight plane. I recall the streetcars in Copenhagen from my visit to the city in 1969-1970 when I was 7 years old. I am too young to remember the Washington, D.C., streetcars in their first guise. Very ambitious. I'm sure D.C. would've ordered trams/streetcars a bit closer to home. The problem, I reckon, was that, like the railroads, there was an increasing interest in cars, which unfortunately killed most of the streetcar lines around the US. I think it was Detroit where General Motors bought the entire network, only to close it and eventually force people into cars. But it's not a big shame. Watching, I see the Düsseldorf cars were abandoned at the same period. In Brazil, Rio de Janeiro has a significant number of parked vehicles that are left stopped and abandoned in the weather after work. This is a real big shame! Egypt was a strong presence in this field, as it began operating the Alexandria tram in 1863 AD and started using electricity in 1902 AD. It operates in the tram network of the city of Alexandria, including the sand line known as the Blue Tram, the city center line, and is an icon that starts from the branch lines, such as the line west of the city, called the Yellow Tram. The government's e-mail continued the development of the city's tram network. More information and pictures: https://alymousa.blogspot.com/2019/11/blog-post_26.htmlBy Peter Andersen - 2001.
