*-France-*  had some Very Interesting PCCs  --


*-St.Etienne-*  had 6-axle cars with roof appointments like  U.S.A.  
PCCs with trolley pole on the second section  --  they also had some 
4-axle cars with similar appointments.       Front windshield appears to 
be 30-degree layback with 180-degree wrap around!!!!!!!

used ex-KCPS equipment and sport the trolley cowl and trolley pole with 
Earll retrievers - pans added later  --  7155 used B3 trucks for a time

http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/cz/trams/Brno/T3/pix.html    ----    
reads  thus::::       """Trolley bus downed trolley  [Overhead]  and 
that made collapse of tram and trolley bus transport. Trams and trolley 
busses on four lines had to replace with busses. Tram T3 no.1599 and 
emergency car of DPMB.""       (Next to last thumb on the page.)

----    """Although original T2 cars were withdrawned from duties in 
Liberec in end of 80's, in 1995 some used cars from Ostrava were 
purchased again. Since end of 1998 is Liberec only one city, where T2 
cars can be seen. Because Liberec is in process of regauging from 1000 
mm to 1435 mm, notice 3-rail track!"""
