Coast Tram,  CAF Urbos 100  # 6136

Middelkerke, Zeedijk

At high tide, it is not possible to walk on the beach here: it is too narrow at this location. Strong winds slowly but surely turned the street into a beach, which can be seen very well with this backlight shot.
Cleaning up would start again the day after: this is an endless story.

Oostende, Brandariskaai

Everything that reminded of the old depot has now completely gone: the site is ready for another use.

Oostende, depot Slijkensesteenweg

The photo is far from ideal, but still interesting: on the left, the 6039 awaiting demolition, in the middle the 6152 and in the background the Ghent tram 6339. I was unfortunately never able to shoot a nice line-up with these 3 types of vehicles.

Oostende, Zeedijk

During the winter, there are far fewer tourists on the coast, making photography much easier.

The tram disappeared finally in 1958, but it's still possible to see the route in 2022.

Oostende, Fortstraat

The tram was abandoned here in 1958. 64 years later, you can still clearly see where the tracks were located, but probably not for long: the entire district is being given a new function and in the background, not only construction is taking place, but also the street has been completely modernised.

Middelkerke, Zeedijk

Car traffic was not yet permitted at the time of taking photos. Cars would therefore not be able to obstruct the photographer. A cleaning machine did, although it did illustrate exactly what was going on: the road was cleared after a violent storm.

Oostende, Zeedijk

Sand is an ever-present problem for the coastline. The operator therefore has the necessary equipment to regularly clean up sand accumulations. The gripper is specially equipped to fit into the track.

In the meantime, the city was full of shoppers...
