No more Tramcar Bay
For many years this little tramcar in Whangateau in Leigh, north of Auckland has sat on this unused section. I'm not sure who the owner is but according to this news article he tried to sell or give it away and the local museum has said they enquired but never heard anything back. Now after being taken apart the roof has been purchased by an art gallery for display but the rest of it will probably be destroyed - very sad.
Trams first operated in Auckland in 1902 but were removed from the city streets in 1956 along with the tracks they rode on. This was 1 of 3 that were barged to the bay as holiday baches in the late 1950s.
A bit tragic that someone didn't take this on and restore it...
