Brussels, Depot Elsene — Ixelles

Obtaining an old tram is not a problem, keeping it and doing something useful with it is something else. The owner found a place for this tram in an unused part of a Brussels tram depot. The roof of the building leaked like a sieve, and when they started to carry out the necessary repairs in Brussels to re-use the depot, the Antwerp Tram Museum was contacted to remove the tram from there. Since there is a similar tram in Antwerp https://transphoto.org/photo/1226681/?vid=462706 and the tram from Brussels was completely rotten and rusted by the humidity, they could not do much else than to demolish this vehicle. A part (chassis and controller) stands as an educational item in the tram museum of Antwerp.
