Serviço de Transportes Colectivos do Porto tram #210

I originally posted information about Antique Powerland on my website in a PLACES page on November 23, 2007 and last updated it on December 18, 2009. I am posting the railroad-related information here, with pictures and information from the 2010 Great Oregon Steam-Up. All of my information about Antique Powerland can be found at PlacesPages.

Single-truck tram #210 is from Porto, Portugal. It was built in the United States as a kit from J. G. Brill & Company around 1909-1912 and shipped to Porto, Portugal. It was rebuilt in 1940 and continued to serve until 1994 when it was put into storage at the Massarelos Works next to the Porto Tram Museum.

It was donated to the OERHS in 2005. It was shipped from Portugal to New Jersey in July 2006 and trucked across the United States to Powerland. This car is similar to Portland's early 4-wheel streetcars, and also shows a family resemblance to the Council Crest Cars.
