"The portal actually arose from a spontaneous idea: to share our passion for photographing public transport with the world. In the spring of 2008, we conducted our first experiments using static images captured with a standard digital camera at 640x480 pixels. Our initial focus was on the western Ruhr region and photographing vehicles there. Due to this regional limitation, the portal was also named differently at the time."
"We have tried to give as complete a picture as possible of a tram company that existed from 1881 to October 1947 and was also known as the 'Gooise killer'. To do this, we have used various books and websites listed under 'sources' and also referred to in the images. Most of the (original) images are older than 70 years and are therefore probably no longer subject to copyright."
"This website provides a complete and comprehensive explanation of the unique system of line colors used in Amsterdam since 1903 for tram lines (and later also for light rail and metro lines)."
"This website showcases traces of the past in the Beemster region and surrounding polders.
This includes both actual steam tram tracks and traces of other interesting historical features, primarily in the Beemster region.
Additions and corrections are always welcome."
"The website features electric trams and city buses, as well as export lists and photos of advertising trams. The Railtheater Amsterdam program can also be downloaded here. We plan to add information about horse-drawn trams, metro rolling stock, and ferries in the future. This site was made possible by the generous cooperation of many hobbyists who shared their collected data with us, and we certainly did not forget the various departments of the G.V.B.'s Technical Services."
"A directory-style overview of tram systems across Europe. It provides links to country-specific tram information pages, including Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, Slovakia, Croatia, Hungary, Greece, and others. The site serves as a navigation hub for tram-related data, routes, operators, and network information by country."
"Here again is the current list of all tram companies in the world (as of December 2024). As always, this also includes subways, trolleybuses and other related railways."
"This website was created by railway enthusiasts to compile a searchable database of railway equipment used by museums, providing an overview of preserved railway gear. It's a non-commercial project maintained by several administrators, each responsible for their section. You can click "About NMMD" for details."
"The Dutch Association of Interested Parties in the Railway and Tramway Industry (NVBS) was founded in 1931. The NVBS has over 4000 members. Many of these are members because of the beautiful monthly magazine Op de Rails. There are about twenty departments that organize meetings and other activities."
"GVB ensures that Amsterdam is accessible to all. A city with a diverse and diverse population of residents and visitors. This diversity is also reflected in our organization; we are a mirror image of Amsterdam society. At GVB, we employ passionate employees with a wide range of backgrounds, sexual orientations, religions, age groups, ethnic backgrounds and educational levels. We believe that a diverse team makes better decisions and is more effective."
"Three organizations support the museum tram line. The Amsterdam Transport Museum Collection Management Foundation (SBCAVM) owns and manages the collection of historic trams."
