Station Centenaire

The complete dark station, where everything was vandalised. This station was 100% finished and ready to be inaugurated... in 1985.

Centenaire

Work is now in progress: compare with the photo of the same location a few months ago.

To create this photo, a tram was chosen with the driver's post B in front, so that the pantograph was at the back of the tram. The tram had to use the last few centimetres of the overhead line to fully exit the tunnel...

Charleroi,  BN/ACEC type 6100 6-axle  — 6125   —  Viszonylat 90, 6125+6114
Charleroi — Last journey of route 90 (29/08/1993)

La Louvière, Rue du Gazomètre
Viszonylat 90, 6125+6114

The driver had also taken his daughter and his wife with him and the flowers were presented to his wife.
Afterwards, the tram departed back towards Charleroi, even though the ride ended in Anderlues, after many stops along the way. These were no more photo stops (dark / night) but stops at every pub, in every village, where the locals (the later, the more drunk) wanted to wave the tram goodbye.
The journey ended well after 02h00, with a delay of more than 5 hours or more...

The service was already operated by buses in the evening. Because of the delay already incurred (one hour), the first bus ride (which had to leave one hour later) was already present, which caused an unexpected parallel. It was the first and last time that bus and tram 90 could be photographed next to each other.
