Porto

Tram #210

The Museum acquired car #210 in July 2006. The car was shipped from Portugal to Port Elizabeth, NJ. From there, it was trucked across the country to our museum.

The car was initially built in the United States as a kit by J. G. Brill & Company between 1909 and 1912 and shipped to Porto, Portugal. It was rebuilt in 1940 at Boavista Station (the Tram Company Shops). It continued in service until 1994.

Sister cars to #210 continue to operate in Oporto in daily heritage transit service.

The car occasionally operates at the museum.

Your fares and donations are making the restoration of this car possible!
