That is an old Hungarian tram by Ganz Machinery Works. They began production in the 1960s, being called the Ganz CSMG with quite a lot of them being made. The one in your picture is a refurbished model - given the designation the new KCSV-7 - which were done in the 1990s. KCSV-7 stands for Korszerűsített Csuklós Villamos 7-es típus or in English, Modernized Articulated Tram Type 7.

Some of them are still in use today on the streets of Budapest, but given how old they are, will likely be retired at some point in the near future.

Here's another picture of Number 1353, running near the Danube River on Line 2 of the Budapest tram network. This particular tram line is quite nice since it runs next to the river and offers you nice views of the water and the city. The only downside is that the seats on the KCSV-2's are quite uncomfortable and despite the heating they added when refurbishing these, they still get pretty cold in the winter.

The cost of equipment in the real world is in the support and contracts, not so much the hardware (though the hardware being rugged and proven is a value all of it's own).

Why are HABDs lineside equipment rather than on train equipment? Because there are so many freight cars that retrofitting hotbox detection to all of them (and having to run around maintaining them) will always be more expensive than having some fixed hardware on the track that the railroads pay to maintain (or not maintain).

Corporations just use different currency that has approx 10:1 exchange rate to our money.

Guess what this little trolley for freezer boxes costs? -75 €.
It's not even quality construction, they will snap under load and the bearings are open and will rust.

That Vektron Boltik is really beautiful.

Čehia giving an hope for humanity with this move. Most progressive slavic country, with lowest ratio of prudes?

I still don't understand why Čehia has not received an Marshall plan, after declaration of independence from Slovakia.

Another emerging furry capital is Taiwan.

I find trains interesting, we have a amtrak here i never was able to ride but I've rode on the skyrail before here

This kind of place. You may see the issue: it really does look like a slip lane.

Anyway, that's all for today!

So, the new Helsinki line 15 has suffered from cars getting stuck on the track almost daily, sometimes several cases per day. Over 50 cases, most of them in this January.

Why is anyone's guess. Maybe people there are used to drive on the exclusive right of way because the whole existing network is paved, even the grassy parts for the emergency vehicles. Old people are over represented, and taxi and delivery drivers.

The city has brought these cope cones to the worst locations, permanent solutions will be considered in spring.

Just look at this place! How can one not have some doubts about their actions before they hit the ballasted track section?
