Rotterdam, Netherlands

Rotterdam was virtually destroyed during World War II and has been completely rebuilt and modernized. Major streets are much wider that those of most European cities, however narrow-bodied trams remain. The difference is that they run on private right-of-way in the center of the major roads with automobile and truck traffic in separate lanes on each side of the tram tracks. Apr. 1998 photos.
