inscription on casting of peckham number 8 truck
2nd april 2011, detail of zürich 93. the car is only temporarily supported on the truck, hence the wooden block instead of the leaf spring. see also this news item . i believe the full text (partly obliterated by the subsequent welding on of an additional flange and widening of the axle box to permit more powerful motors to be added) reads "peckhams flexible gear manufactured by peckham motortruck & wheel co 8 kingston n y patented aug 30 1892". the 8 refers to this being a number 8 type truck according to the manufacturer's catalogue. also visible is the company's monogram ptc. edgar peckham devised an ingenious modular system permitting trucks of different dimensions to be assembled from standard parts. a more complete text is legible on this specimen . one of the later units manufactured under licence in switzerland by sws (schlieren) can be seen here .

lindbergh
21st october 2008, test tram emerging from the tunnel at lindbergh. regular service on this new line, which serves the airport, will commence in december. the second tram in the set is easily recognisable as 2029 on account of its non-standard roof-mounted vents.

mixed gauge track
25th april 2007. until not very long ago, a dense network of sidings criss-crossed the industrial area of zürich west. much of the industry has since given way to residential usage, but in places interesting elements of trackwork remain, albeit mostly disused. note the narrow gauge turntables set within the standard gauge track!

cobra at zw altstetten

2nd december 2006, end of the line — bogies from swiss standard tram trailers.

25th october 2001. tram 2000 car 2113 has been fitted with a low floor section. the section was built in the vbz's own workshops using mainly tram 2000 parts. here the lengthened car stands at oerlikon station on it's first day in service. 2113 ran on route 10 on this and the following day before being transferred to route 6. note the non-standard paint scheme around the articulations (on single-articulated tram 2000 cars, the blue band is broader).

zürich cargotram
cargotram at wollishofen on it's first day in service (15th april 2003). this view of trailer 1984 clearly shows its peckham truck. this truck is now serving it's third purpose. in contrast to the later peckham trucks which were built under licence in switzerland, the original batch were imported from the usa. these were used for cars 57 - 84. these cars originally had open balconies which were later glazed. their low power and limited capacity led to their conversion to trailers 473-500 between 1926 and 1929. new lighter trucks were constructed for these trailers and the original trucks were reutilised for works cars of various types and descriptions. a small number of these survive today, among them crane car 1952 . trailers 1984 and 1987 survived as permanent way wagons but saw little use during their final years. their next rebuild was in 2003 when they were prepared to carry standard refuse containers.

industrial railway tracks in zürich oerlikon
16 september 2013, roadworks on elias-canetti-strasse in zürich oerlikon revealed these narrow gauge tracks. i don't know anything about the history of these tracks. the rail is of extremely light grade and so possibly used for hand-pushed trolleys. this area was part of the mfo factory site, which was until not very long ago criss-crossed by a veritable labyrinth of industrial sidings, the remnants of one of which is still visible in this same street. these tracks are definitely too light to be standard gauge however, so must have been part of a different system. this picture is part of a series of four .

16 september 2013, roadworks on elias-canetti-strasse in zürich oerlikon revealed these narrow gauge tracks. cracks in the asphalt to the right may indicate the position of the other rail, giving some indication of the gauge. the remains of the former standard gauge siding can just be made out in the left distance. this picture is part of a series of four .
