Oslo, Norway

Oslo's trams are all relatively modern as is shown in this series of photos. They are somewhat wider than trams in most European cities but are not as wide as those in the United States.

Maintenance-of-way cars are not often seen on trolley and tram systems but they are just as necessary as on freight and passenger railroads. This photo caught a MOW car jammed in behind some automobiles and adjacent to a construction site. The shadows are heavy but the details of the car are visible in this 1985 photo.
