Sounds like rail cars are starting to learn division.

If both sets of wheels are still on rails, why not just back?

Or are wheels on the end we see not powered?

Would it be possible to power just that set of wheels and pull back?

Cause?

Snow or ice keeping points from fully closing?

Could several guys physically have pushed the trolley back?

@robertgift Well, there may have been an impatient operator behind this one, and that caused one truck to go one way, and resulted in this. Unless you group a few strong men in a line, there is little chance pushing a tram will work.

4004 was one of the first 5 built. They were built overseas. The streetcars following those five were built in thunder bay.

First truck got the switch and turned it bad and the second truck went straight this happens to trams rom time to time nothing important.

What happened here? Did the trolly car go off the rails? And where did this occur?

[elgoalio29]

It happened at King & Spadina (as the title suggests) and likely what happened is the lead truck took the switch, but the trailing truck decided it wanted to jump it and go straight. Happens from time to time.
