This car is part of the Brussels Tram Collection. It uses the US PCC patents, thus is it a sister car to the PCC cars of the US, albeit narrower than its US cousins. The car was first put in service in Brussels on Feb. 15, 1952. It received a mid-life overhaul in 1989, and painted in its current paint scheme in 2001.
