We all have spare tires for our cars and the TTC has spare wheels for the streetcars. These will be refurbished and used again on the different models of cars.
A person who has a detailed interest in the finer points of tram and train construction is known as a 'rivet counter'. I am looking forward to seeing the compressor motor.
..they should be able to be rebuilt over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI actually recently watched a tv program about this work.
ReplyDeleteThat's something I hadn't thought about but it makes sense. They look very heavy.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see them like this.
ReplyDeleteHuh! Something one doesn’t think about.
ReplyDeleteStreet cars are designed to go many miles, but the wheels do wear and need maintenance. Your photo tells an interesting story.
ReplyDeleteOften, a look behind the scenes tell us a story we never even knew. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery cool thank you
ReplyDeleteThese wheels look enormous and industrial

ReplyDeleteAt least you don't have to pump them up.
ReplyDeleteNot me, I don't own a car, but I have a few bikes. Good that they will be used again.
ReplyDeleteAs long as they are safe to use then it's good to reuse them. Im all for this.
