DPP 88, 275, and 297 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Title:  DPP 88, 275, and 297 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Description:  Well, you know about 88 and 275 if you've seen the dedicated photo for them, so...I'll describe 297. What you can't see here is that 297 is actually a three-car set of 297, 638, and 608. Today, it's very common to see T3 and T6A5 trams running in pairs in Prague (I usually only note the number of the lead unit, or the number of the unit visible), but prior to the 1980s it wasn't uncommon to see three-car sets, and an unpowered version of the T3 was even experimented with for a time. In any case, as for 297 itself, it was built in 1909, although it was rebuilt in 1946.

DPP 88 & 275 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Title:  DPP 88 & 275 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Description:  The Prague Public Transport Museum in Stesovice is definitely worth a visit if you're a railfan in Prague...or for that matter if you're just someone who likes technology, old tech at least, and isn't brainless. Most of collection can still run, and much of it is chartered and/or run on special occassions, although the trams which run "Historic" tram #91 in the summertime are a special fleet, and have things like modern pantographs and so on. Here we see #88, built in 1900, and #275, coupled to trailer #624 (out of view), built in 1908. 275 would have been one of the first trams to get the current red and cream DPP livery, as prior to 1908 the standard livery was the dark green that you can see on #88.

DPP 109 & 1314 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Title:  DPP 109 & 1314 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Description:  DPP #109 paired with trailer car #526 (out of view) was built in 1901, and trailer car #1314 is paired with tram #357, seen in another of my photos. 1314 was built in 1931, and is called a "Krasin" class.

DPP 200 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Title:  DPP 200 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Description:  I tried to use the building lights for this one instead of sunlight through the windows or a flash, and I like to think that it came out better as a result. #200 was a "Parlour" tram, in the English sense, being the mayor's personal tram, built in 1900. From 1922 it served in more regular duties, as seen here, and in 1951-1972 it served as a "nursery car," according to the museum guide. That's bizarre to me, as it doesn't make clear whether was to take the kids to nursery school, help pregnant mothers, carry saplings, or whatever. Sometimes the translations of books over here can be really odd.

DPP 349 In Namesti Republiky (date is a guess)
Title:  DPP 349 In Namesti Republiky (date is a guess)
Description:  I know a lot less about Prague's earlier 4-wheel trams than I do about their 8-wheel trams, other than that they were built mostly by CKD (as opposed to Tatra, CKD under contract with Tatra, or in recent years Skoda), at least after electrification, and many survived into the 1970s, and many if not most of those are still in service on the historic tram service, route #91 Stresovice-Vystaviste. They're also used for charters, as here with #349 at Namesti Republiky.

DPP 349 At Prazky Hrad
Title:  DPP 349 At Prazky Hrad
Description:  DPP 349 is one of the older trams used for the historic tram service 91 from Vystaviste-Stresovice, having been built in about 1915, if I'm not mistaken, by Ceskomoravska Kolben-Danek, or CKD.

Description:  This was another lucky spotting of historic tram #349, which looked to be running a charter on this particular day, rather than service #91.

DPP 357 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Title:  DPP 357 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Description:  #357 was built in 1915, and I'm pretty sure I've seen it running charters before, although I could be misremembering. Like 297, it also has a trailer, #1314, although both are configured to run on the left side of the street, as Bohemia, and later Czechoslovakia had left hand running until 1939, when the Nazis converted the country overnight by force.

DPP 500 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Title:  DPP 500 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Description:  Built in 1913, DPP #500 was intended for use in the summer, especially for tours and charters, and continued in this role until 1972. I'm not aware of whether it still runs, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Tramvaj 11 Cafe (date is guessed)
Title:  Tramvaj 11 Cafe (date is guessed)
Description:  The Cafe Tramvaj 11 is a small coffee shop in a genuine, if retired, tram not unlike the ones used in the historic tram service #91. Ive only had a coffee there once or twice, though, since you have a choice only of the crowded interior or the (in the winter) cold tent outside. Behind it, you can see Marks & Spencer on the left, the Wiehluv Dum in the center, and the Ligna building on the right.

DPP 2210 At Myslikova (date is a guess)
Title:  DPP 2210 At Myslikova (date is a guess)
Description:  During the summer, #2210 is a regular on historic tram service #91, and since I took this in October it was still running, as the service doesnt stop for the winter until November 17th, anniversary of the Velvet Revolution.

DPP 2222 at Prague Public Transport Museum

Description:  DPP #2222 is currently displayed as part of a three-car set with trailers 1111 and 1219. 2222 was built in 1930, and 1111 and 1219 were built in 1928 and 1931. Hmm...a lot of numbers. :-)

DPP 3063 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Title:  DPP 3063 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Description:  DPP #3063 is one of the later four-wheel trams built for DPP, having been completed in 1942, while World War II was still going on, and much of the rest of the world was shifting towards eight-wheel trams.

DPP 4053 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Title:  DPP 4053 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Description:  DPP #4053 was never intended as a passenger tram, but instead was built specifically (in 1917) for moving construction materials for the DPP's MOW crews.

DPP 4217 & 728 at Vozovna Stresovice
Title:  DPP 4217 & 728 at Vozovna Stresovice
Description:  Both 4217 and 728, in spite of being outside apparently awaiting an assignment, aren't regular service units or historic units assigned to service 91. Instead, being too old for regular service, with 4217 being built in 1915 (formerly #355), and 728 being of unknown, but similar vintage (at least from what I can gather), 4217 is used to switch equipment around the museum, but 728 is the mysterious one. I haven't had time to ask what it's for.

DPP 5001 & 608
Title:  DPP 5001 & 608
Description:  #608 was mentioned earlier, it being a trailer in the 297/638/608 set. #5001, however, is much more interesting. Starting in 1951, DPP began replacing their old (mostly) CKD four-wheel trams with Tatra eight-wheel trams, the most numerous being the T3. The T3, however, wasn't introduced until 1960, so really I'm being misleading. The first of the breed was the T1, pictured here. I'm not aware of whether 5001 was the first, but it's the oldest surviving T1 in DPP's fleet. #5002 is sometimes used on service 91, and I have at least one photo of it on Flickr.

DPP 5002 On Vodickova
Title:  DPP 5002 On Vodickova
Description:  #5002 is the second-oldest Tatra tram still in the DPP fleet, and it is now only used on the historic tram service, #91 from Depo Stresovice-Vystaviste. Even on this service, it usually doesn't work except for on November 17th, the anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, which is also usually the last day of operations for #91 before the winter break. I was very, very lucky to be in the right place at the right time to get this, as I only have two other photos, both of them horrible, of this tram in service. This photo, also, was nearly a failure, as my Ikoflex was set wrong. I was in such a rush to get the shot that in my haste I pointed my light meter at the sky without even realising it, and as such I barely underexposed. I talked to a photo student, though, who was able to clean up the shot in the full version of Adobe Photoshop (on a high-end computer with a high-end 4000 dpi Nikon negative scanner), and I worked on it a little bit, too, and now I think it looks alright.

DPP 5503 at Lazarska
Title:  DPP 5503 at Lazarska
Description:  Some of the older Tatra T3s, some of them in almost entirely original 1960s configuration, have been reserved for training, numbered in the 5500s. I dont have too many photos of them, so having the cameraphone has given me the opportunity to catch of few of them as they do their training runs. 5503 was at Lazarska when I took this.

DPP 5525 at Radlicka, Picture 4,
Title:  DPP 5525 at Radlicka, Picture 4,
Description:  One odd feature of Tatra trams is that they have an accelerator and brake pedal like a bus, instead of the traditional rail vehicle controls of a throttle and a few brake levers. Because 5525 is a training tram, however, the instructor gets his/her own brake pedal, seen on the right. The right seat is also a trainer-only feature, as a standard T3 only has the drivers seat in the cab.

The pantograph control looks like a bell control, but it isnt, of course. The bell is controlled by a pushbutton on the control desk.

DPP 5525 at Radlicka, Picture 6,
Title:  DPP 5525 at Radlicka, Picture 6,
Description:  The passenger cabin on a training T3 is also non-standard. For one thing, the digital destination boards are facing inward, so that instructors can tell if the driver has set them correctly. Theyre invisible from the outside, where they always indicate that the tram is a trainer. Another non-standard feature is the partition one quarter of the way back, and I havent been able to figure out the purpose for this. In the front quarter of the cabin, however, the tables serve the obvious purpose of providing office space for the instructors. In the read three quarters, with the exception of the additional table that you can see on the left, the seating is more or less standard, for whatever purpose.

DPP 6001 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Title:  DPP 6001 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Description:  After the success of the Tatra T1, it was replaced by the T2, pictured here. The T1 had been based on the American PCC trolley, but I think that the T2 bears a much closer resemblence to it. A number of these still survive, but only a few have been preserved in Prague, and none of the ones in DPP's fleet remain in regular service.

Title:  DPP 6102 at Husinecka
Description:  This is, if Im not mistaken (the crappy cameraphone picture cant prove it for sure), #6201, the Tatra T3 that DPP have chosen to keep in original condition for charters. It was one of several vintage transit vehicles from the Prague Transport Museum which were running excursions on this particular day.

DPP 6149 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Title:  DPP 6149 at the Prague Public Transport Museum
Description:  Finally...another T3!!! The Tatra T3, introduced in 1960 and produced until 1990 (although I've found newer builder plates than that, possibly from rebuilds) is probably the most successful tram design ever, 13,991 of them serving faithfully in 49 cities in 10 countries. This of course doesn't count the endless variants like the T4 (almost the same tram in spite of the different number), the K2 (articulated), and many, many more. 1,185 were built for DPP, although now the fleet is down to 750 due to wear and tear, the Prague Spring (some of them were destroyed in the invasion and revolt, if I'm not mistaken), and a handful of accidents. Only a handful are in their original configuration, with 6149, seen here, and 6102 being the best preserved ones, and hence the ones used for display and charters. Many people argue that the T3 isn't obsolete yet, so the whole idea of one being in a museum is probably a little odd to some people. 6149 is, however, quite old, having been built in 1962. One way or another, they're still a part of everyday life for any normal person in Prague, and I ride them almost daily.

DPP 6909 at Radlicka
Title:  DPP 6909 at Radlicka
Description:  One day when I was in Radlicka, I noticed this charmingly unrebuilt (except for obvious things like the lights and ticket stampers) Tatra T3, so I decided to take some shots of it.

DPP 6909 at Radlicka, Picture 3,
Title:  DPP 6909 at Radlicka, Picture 3,
Description:  The cab was original except for the digital clock and the tinted glass. Theyve since rebuilt the vast majority of T3s, even the "unrebuilt" ones, with complete enclosures, Im assuming to keep teenage idiots and drunks from throwing things onto the drivers head.

DPP 8234 with 6909 and 7021 at Radlicka
Title:  DPP 8234 with 6909 and 7021 at Radlicka
Description:  Although you can just spot a Skoda 14t behind these trams, 6909 was coupled to 7021, and was followed by 8234, making it a mostly T3 scene at the moment that I was there.

Ujezd Action Shot, Picture 3 (date is a guess)
Title:  Ujezd Action Shot, Picture 3 (date is a guess)
Description:  This was the third shot of my first attempt at using the rapid-fire ability of the Lomo 135BC, although actually I didn't plan it this way. I just clicked away two shots quickly without thinking about it, and then realised what I was doing as I shot the third. I then decided that I had to upload this as soon as possible to please all the people who wanted to see the results of what the Lomo 135BC can do.

DPP 8486 and DPP 6921 at I.P. Pavlova
Title:  DPP 8486 and DPP 6921 at I.P. Pavlova
Description:  This was my first-ever cameraphone shot, which I took right after walking out of the store. In spite of being an action shot in the rain, it came out fine.

DPP 7014 On Most Legii
Title:  DPP 7014 On Most Legii
Description:  This shot is taken facing the opposite direction from the Narodni Divadlo shots. We're looking towards Ujezd, and the Hladova Zed is visible on the left on Petrin Hill. These photos aren't exactly in order now since I had to repost this one with corrections. I took this one between the Narodni Divadlo shots and the Ujezd shot. :-)
