Riga Workscars
On 24. December 2014 by WebmasterThe Riga tramway has a large fleet of non-passenger cars. The fleet is currently numbered in the 880xx series. Unlike the passenger fleet, the fleet numbers shown on the trams are the real numbers (on the passenger cars the first digit of the fleet number indicates the depot and the last digit is just a computer check number – hyphens after the depot number are no longer in use).
I have listed the workscar fleet going by the original number (which until 2010/2011) was mostly in the 4xx range (with some 3xx cars) – ignoring the leading depot number which did not come into fashion until the 1980s. In some cases the fleet numbers have been used multiple times for different vehicles. In recent years the workscars were rebuilt from passengers cars that were often involved in heavy accidents.
I have a few older images in my collection which I have included here, the fleet list is unfortunately not complete. I’ll add more data and photos if and when this becomes available.
