11 august 1999 - Liege Transport Museum, Belgium/Belgie. The RELSE operated an interurban tram route from Liege to Seraing until 1968. In Seraing, a trolleybus line was introduced in 1936, but there was no room at the terminus for a normal turning circle of overhead wires. The solution? A double-ended trolleybus! Believe it if you will – THREE axles, TWO sets of driver controls (including TWO steering wheels) and FOUR trolley poles! This last survivor of these four amazing buses ran until 1963. This picture shows the front – or maybe the back – who knows?

The Belgians always had a rather vivid imagination
You really are treating us to the gems of your collection! / Belgowie zawsze mieli ulanska fantazje Naprawde pokazujesz nam perelki ze swojej kolekcji!- dvigar (195.93.21.*) (2008-05-16 10:50:39)
Yes, I posted this especially for those with a good sense of humour. Imagine the geometry involved! Next, they built two very short, double-ended trolleybuses with just four wheels (all steering, of course!). I would have liked to have seen this in motion
