Mirage 1626

mirage 1626 duttweilerbruecke The newslog previously reported that 1626 was being converted to an exhibition tram for Tram Zürich West. This was not quite accurate as the tram does not house any exhibition. It has, however, been set up on a short section of completed track at Duttweilerbrücke, in front of the archway-shaped pedestrian overpass that will no doubt become a landmark of this neighbourhood. 1626 acts as a visual ambassador for the coming tram extension and hopefully creates some understanding for the disruptions caused by the construction work. Let's hope the vandals respect the tram!

A short series of pictures of this tram in the snow, also featuring another Mirage at nearby Harplatz, can be found here.
