Brill-28
Plataforma Salão
|
A total of 26 Brill-28 and
Brill-23 cars were reconstructed during the years 1938-46. The most visible part
of this reconstruction was the extension of the platforms into the
Plataforma-Salão type. This feature, before only present with de Brill-bogie
cars of 1926-28 can be easily recognized by the narrow windows next to the
entrances. But also new or extended
trucks (wheelbase 2.25 m instead of 2.15 m) and air brakes were installed.
In
later years many, but not all, did get back lights and doors
instead of folding gates.
This series was the most numbered
type during the last years of the classic Porto tram.

an overview is given of the original CCFP numbers and the
official construction years (which probably are the reconstruction
years).
