DPP 6777 At Sidliste Repy (ddte is a wild guess) |
| Description: |
Tatra T3 #6777 is very noticable for Prague in that it's a black tram. I'm not sure if there are any others in the DPP fleet that look quite like it. Usually, it's covered in advdrtising, and here you can see some posters on the side. I took this on the turning loop at the Sidliste Repy tram terminus. |

DPP 7259 At Sidliste Repy (date is a wild guess) |
| Description: |
Sidliste Repy is a Communist-era housing project consisting of "Panelak" apartment blocks built to standard designs. Although many other Sidliste projects have been fully renovated and modernized, Republiky is still a work in progress, and still has a great deal of its Communist-era grime. Here I've taken a picture of the tram terminus, where arriving passengers get off the tram before it goes onto the turning loop. |

Trams On BruselskaX(date is a guess) |

Bruselska, both the street and the tram stop in this picture, is only served by two tram routes, 6 and 11, at least under normal scheduling. Occassionally, though, it's used as a detour for 22 and 23. I was lucky enough to get this!shot of two T3s passing in the sun. |

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 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 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 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 |
| 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 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. |

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 7029 on Zvonarka Wye |
| Description: |
When I was living in the tiny Prague neighborhood of Zvonarka (adjacent the equally tiny neighborhood of Amerika), I was awoken one morning by the sound of a tram on the Zvonarka wye. The Zvonarka tram stop isn't currently active, as people living in Zvonarka and Amerika now use the Bruselska or I.P. Pavlova stops usually, but when there's trackwork blocking a line they'll sometimes terminate trams here. It wasn't the case on this particular day, however, as they were shooting a movie or TV show, and needed a tram stop and a tram, so they called up DPP! 7029 was masquerading as tram service 11 on this occassion, although Zvonarka isn't on tram 11's route. I never found out which movie or TV show was being shot, though. |

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 8719 Passing Ujezd (date is guessed) |
| Description: |
When I took this, I was shooting solely because I liked the light and the composition. I knew that it wasn't going to be a perfect shot of a Tatra T6A5 tram. Still, it isn't too bad for that, either. It's just missing the ends. This was taken on the corner of Ujezd and Vitezna, at the Ujezd tram stop. |

DPP 9029 Passing Through Senovazne Namesti (date is guessed) |
| Description: |
I took this shot at the junction at Senovazne Namesti (Senovazne Square), where the line going to Hlavni Nadrazi (the main train station) is behind me in this picture, the line into Vaclavske Namesti (Wenceslas Square) is straight ahead, and the line to Masarykovo Nadrazi (Prague's oldest mainline train station) is off the curve to the right. The sweeping curve (by tram standards anyway) gives us the chance to better see an articulated tram in action, in this case a Tatra KT8 from 1987, which is still in service today. The whole KT8 fleet is currently being rebuilt with LED lights, new computerized route displays, CCTV for both greater security and improved driver visibility, and many other modern features that were science fiction in the Communist Czechoslovakia of 1987. #9029 was, however, still unrebuilt and original when I took this. The big number 24 on the roof is actually the route number, rather than the tram number. |

I took this in the summer of 2005, in July, I think (I don't remember exactly), and it has always been one of my favorites. I like the compostion (more or less perfect for a train or tram shot), and the way the sunlight catches the tram just right. You also get to see the wye where Vitezna meets Ujezd. |

DPP 8440 and 8681 At Vystaviste (date is guessed) |
| Description: |
Vystaviste is the exhibition ground for Prague, but it is also a tram terminal, with a turning loop constructed in park. It's always an interesting place to photograph trams, although here I'm not showing you the historic, pre-World War II trams that they use on service #91!! |

Tatra T3 Trams At Sidliste Barrandov |
| Description: |
In the Fall of 2005 I explored the new tram line to Sidliste Barrandov, looking more for Fall foliage shots than train or tram shots. In the end, I got better tram shots. I took this at the end of the line in Sidliste Barrandov, where these Tatras were on the turnaround loop awaiting their next assignment. |

Trams In Palackeho Namesti |
| Description: |
This is a classic "Prague" shot, maybe not so much from the tourist brochures, but from Czech TV and movies. It's very popular, it seems, to shoot a scene with a Tatra T3 tram coming over the hill at Palackeho Namesti, although here the T3SU is meeting a KT8D5 on the northbound track. |

Praha Hlavni Nadrazi (date is a wild guess) |
| Description: |
This is the legendary, and regrettably notorious, Praha Hlavni Nadrazi, or Prague main station. Built around the same time as New York's Grand Central Terminal and number of other iconic rail stations worldwide, it was renamed Wilsonova Nadrazi after World War I when U.S. President Woodrow Wilson was instrumental in orchestrating Czech independence from the Austrian Empire, then lost this name when the Nazis took over in 1938, not getting it back post-war due to Communism, and still being known as Hlavni Nadrazi today. It was one of the first stations to be built primarily for electric trains, like Grand Central. The date on this photo is a wild guess, but it would have been sometime in late 2005. |

CD 163086-2 at Nadrazi Smichov |
| Description: |
I took this in Nadrazi Smichov in Prague while waiting to leave for a day trip to Karlstejn. I like the locomotive, and I thought the composition would come out good, so I took it even though it had nothing to do with the trip. |

DPP 9111 At Modrany (date is guessed) |
| Description: |
This is DPP's newest class of tram. It breaks from previous Prague tradition in that it's not a Tatra or CKD, but a Skoda. Skoda have, over the years, built cars, trains, trams, and just about every other kind of durable and capital good that you could think of. I've even seen Skoda anvils!!! Today their main business is in cars, as Volkswagen own the company now and produce Skoda versions of the various VW models. They still build trams, though, and this one's a 14T Class, with the carbody designed by Porsche. Apologies for the scanner lines on this photos. I don't know why they're there since the scanner used for this photo didn't do this on any other photos. |

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. |

Tatra T3 At U Kastanu Tram Stop (date is a guess) |
| Description: |
I took this photo solely for light and composition. The light was really perfect that day, and I happened to be next to the U Kastanu tram stop in Prague, so I lined this shot up. Since it was never really meant to be a "tram" shot, like some of my other work, the details on the tram are a bit limited, but I really like it as a photo, so I posted it. :-) |

I guessed the date on this one. :-) Nevertheless, this was my first look at the Czech version of the Pendolino, and my second photo of it. |

Praha Hlavni Nadrazi, Picture 2 (date is a wild guess) |
| Description: |
I took this photo from an office that I was allowed access to, which gives a somewhat unusual perspective on Praha Hlavni Nadrazi. I don't remember the date I took this, but it would have been late 2006, probably November. |

Here DPP #8669, a CKD-built Tatra T6A5 tram, is awaiting departure at Namesti Miru. I like the completenesw of this scene, in addition to the composition. |
