Fumista trailers

In 1934 the workshops made three trailers of the Fumista type. Trailer use with the CCFP was limited to the lines 1 and 5. The STCP used these trailers also on line 9// after through running to Gaia was abandoned by suppressing line 14/. They were withdrawn from service in 1966.

Trailer no.18 belongs to the museum collection. As these trailers were, except for their livery never modified, it’s in original condition. Or perhaps in pre-original condition: museumtram no.18 has a green and white livery, but in 1933, the year before these trailers were built, the Porto tram livery changed from light-green and white to yellow and white.

Tram no.207 is shunting with trailer no.19 at Boavista in August 1965. (Ron Jedlicka)
