LISBON: CARRIS TRAMWAY MUSEUM

A tramway museum is operated by the transit company, Carris, in the shadow of the Ponte de 25 Abril bridge (a suspension bridge modeled after the Golden Gate Bridge, with the addition of a lower deck for a rail line). The collection includes many preserved Lisbon trams-- however, the ones operating are just as old as those in the museum collection! The museum is located at the same site as one of the major tram/light rail yards so the photos below depict the entire site, active yard and museum equipment.
