21 március 2010 - Sintra (PT). The 14 km long, metre-gauge Sintra-Atlantico tramway opened in 1904 with the original trams still working there today. The line actually closed down several times in the past fifty years, but somehow managed to survive and a major rebuilding is almost complete, with a new depot and improved track. It runs between Sintra town and the little seaside village of Praia das Macas along a hilly and winding route, mostly along the side of the road. Almost all the rolling stock, built by Brill of Philadelphia, is over 100 years old and (despite some steep gradients) is hand braked only. Here in the new depot are 1903 trams 1 and 7, open crossbench cars, and #4 which was rebuilt locally from an identical car. At the time of my visit there was no electricity, but the line will reopen for business in April – I’ll certainly be back! (this picture for af_robert).

Thanks a lot David!
A few years ago, when I was passing by the road you've mentioned there were no tram traffic too. I'm glad to hear that all of this will be operational soon.
As you said - it's time to come back.
