Vicinal Trams at Ostend (1982)Taken in 1982 on Super 8 film (silent).
You got a shot of the train station in Blankenberge near the end (the last few seconds). By the way, that's a nice clip; it brings back memories for me, with all those old trams parked near the back of the main station. Either you or I should take another clip of it, because they plan to change the landscape with major infrastructural projects, and it will look very different. That includes the square in front, the tram, and the train station.By johnq48 - .
