The Sporvejsmuseet collects rails on Frederikssundsvej (2016)On 3 February 2016, Erik Storgaard from Sporvejsmuseet Skjoldenæsholm collected the first load of rails from Frederikssundsvej in connection with the construction of the new busway to line 5A. The introduction of Harskårvejen on Borups Allé occurred in 2016. It has been over 36 years since Frederiksundsvejten was inaugurated, which happened on October 5, 1969. This event allowed drivers to travel from Mosesvinget to Bisbæbuen without worrying about traffic on Frederiksundsvej. The construction of the tunnel required raising Frederiksundsvej, which also led the Copenhagen Railway to lay new rails, even though the railway service had only a few years left. Due to the new bus route for line 5A, the section from the fire station to Bellerhøj is now being reclaimed, revealing the latest rails. The Sporvandsmuseet in Skjørnesholm already collected the first load of rails on Wednesday, February 3, and additional loads will be gathered the following week. In May 2017, the current buses will be replaced with articulated buses, and line 5A will adopt the plusway concept.By SporvognDK - February 3, 2016.

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.

Farewell Cavalcade for the last tram in Copenhagen (1972)New modern trams, but too late. In Copenhagen, in 1960, at long last, they began to acquire new articulated vehicles from the factory Düvag in Germany. They were called "Mrs. Düsseldorf”, but unfortunately they arrived too late. In the capital, the conversion to bus operation was based on plans from 1962, where only the most used tram lines were to remain until the city got its subway. The argument that the buses could be operated by one person, while a tram required three men in the engine and sidecar won the politicians' attention. In addition, according to Copenhagen's Sporveje, trams could not be operated by one person, which the rest of Europe was not aware of. These plans were already changed in 1965 so that all tram lines had to be converted to bus operation within 10 years. The conversion was carried out at a record pace, so already on 22 April 1972 the last tram on line 5 ran in draw for the last time. The next day, Copenhageners could say goodbye to their beloved trams at a farewell cavalcade. Many citizens had protested the massive demolitions, but they were ignored. When the tramway network in Copenhagen was the largest, there was a line network of 99.8 km. with 18 different lines. In today's kroner, this investment would correspond to approx. DKK 20 billionBy mikljnsn - April 23, 1972.

Last day of Trams in Copenhagen (1972)Filmed by Finn Erik Larsen. Remember, I'm the most important because I'm the driver of the carriage. It turns by itself when the track makes a turn. I'm the one who decides when we stop and when we go. Sorry, I woke you up because it's me who says ding, so just don't be arrogant. Thank you. You're just a clown who will never be on this carriage again. Oh crap, there's always a tram and a girl for my rank as a carriage animal, and you can never get on. I think I'll get on even more. It sounds exciting for the passenger I ride with the girl in the forest. That sounds right. But you never get that now. A girl, there's always a girl, a tram, a girl, a tram, a girl for pride. I stand for everyone's gaze, like a gallant figure. Yes. And when they see you, they immediately look the other way. HP Sørensen stands with me every time he drives the ride. But the pretty girls always come around to me. Look, there she is, with the shape; she waves from a balcony. There she stood in front of the platform. So, there's always a tram and a girl for you. Then the girl must put the ladder on. He's jealous of the little one now. And remember, it's me who's standing at the wheel of the carriage. Now the tram is steering straight. Circus Mie for us two is done. And what will you do then? There's always a tram, a girl, a tram, a girl, a tram. I've become a symbol on line 8. It's a good thing—you can see for yourself. You're a bit crazy; you've soon turned the whole line into an anecdote. Poor thing, you can hear you were only born to be a conductor. I do everything with flying colors. Yes, maybe on song. Hans, a man like me, can always get a chance. There's always a track and a girl for one of the parts; you have to let yourself go. No, both parts get tired of you. Ah, if I want, then it's just a word, and Eva says no. No jumps, Dny and Sofie, then the carriage drives express from heaven to. There's always a girl, a tram, a girl, an SP carriage, a girl too.
