Melbourne W-2 tram turns onto Embarcadero in San Francisco

[cablecarguy]

It has been like this since it arrived in San Francisco. I always assumed this was its original condition. It's a great car to ride on.

what happened to the doors?

Those W2 class trams never had any. They were built in the 1920s and had canvas blinds (you can see one down) The ends of the trams were enclosed with internal sliding doors, leaving the centre part open. Later in the late 1930s, there were newer versions made with driver operated sliding doors. Some of these are still in service in Melbourne.
