Sydney O Class at OERHS



The Oregon Electric Railway Historical Society obtained Sydney O class
tram 1187 when the 2nd generation Sydney tram system was closed down.
The OERHS had a museum line at Glenwood, outside Portland but a few
years ago quit that site and moved to a new, larger site closer to
Portland, Oregon... co-locating with some other rail museum activities

Initial operation at the new site was done towing a diesel generator
on a small trolley, but the overhead was energised about a month ago
for a summer rail festival.

Pictures of O Class 1187 in operation at the new site, freshly painted
and looking very good, can be seen at:

As well as US equipment from the North West states, the OERHS also has
an English double deck car in its fleet, which you can also find
photos of on the web site.

Does anyone happen to know the current operational status of the
Sydney P Class tram at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Maine?

Cheers,

Bill
