15 june 2009 - Marcq-en-Baroeul (FR) –depot/zajezdnia ELRT. One of the oldest surviving Lille-Roubaix-Tourcoing trams is this works car dating from 1894. I don’t know who built it, or where it ran before coming to the Mongy, but it must be one of the narrowest trams in existence. The depot building in which this and several other old LRT trams are stored is just about to be pulled down, so a new home must be found for them urgently. The museum group is disposing of several other, non-Lille, trams so that space can be found for these elsewhere.Marcq-en-Baroeul (FR) –depot/zajezdnia ELRT.
