Tram 9985
In the 1930s, new, modern tram equipment appeared on the NMVB network. This standard type was built in hundreds of units. The first ones even had a wooden frame and signboards. This tram is the only one of its kind to have survived in this form.
Tram 9985 initially served in 1931 on the Hamme-Antwerp line as a trailer. In 1932, it was converted into an electric vehicle and mainly served on the Kortrijk lines.
In 1963, this tram was moved to the coast to serve on shorter routes. By the 1970s, it was still used as a work vehicle. Since 1978, the tram has been used solely for tourist purposes.
