3 october 2008 - Resita (RO) – depou/zajezdnia. Ex-Dortmund GT8 #18 stands at the depot ready for its next duty. The woman on the left looks like a typical Resita resident - in fact, she might be the tramway manager :-) Resita is a poor city, even though the steel works is still operating.

3 october 2008 - Resita, Romania - tramway depot: Another `one generation` Romanian tramway which opened in 1988 and closed down when all the assets like track and vehicles simply became too worn for further safe operation. The Resita tramway was a single route system through the city and was unusual in that it was owned (like much else in the city) by the local steelworks company - which still runs the bus services today. To keep going a while longer when their original fleet of Romanian-built Timis 2 trams wore out, they were entirely replaced by Duewag GT8 vehicles from Germany and these provided the services until final closure. Here is car #18 in the depot yard.
