The majority of the
Porto trams were of a four wheel type designed by Brill of
Philadelphia at the beginning of the twentieth century. There were the following
batches:
-
Brill-23: 20 cars
built by Brill of Philadelphia in 1909. Width 2.25 m and
length of the saloon 5.56 m. Original numbers: 251-270.
-
Brill-23: 25 cars built
by Brill of Philadelphia in 1910. Width 2.25 m and length
of the saloon 5.89 m. Original numbers: 271-295.
-
Brill-23: 20 cars
built by Brill of Philadelphia in 1912. Width 2.25 m and
length of the saloon 5.97 m. Original numbers: 171-190.
-
Brill-28: about 40 cars built by the workshops of the
tramcompany in the period 1924-1938. Width 2.40 m and
length of the saloon about 5.95 m.
-
Brill-28: about 30 cars
reconstructed out of Brill-23 cars by widening the saloon from 2.25m to
2.40m in the period 1925-1937. A few (prototypes) got 2.32m wide bodies.
-
Brill-28 Plataforma-Salão:
26 cars reconstructed out of Brill-28 and Brill-23 cars by the workshops in the period 1938-1946.
-
Brill-32: 12 cars built by the workshops of the
tramcompany in the period 1927-1928. Width 2.40 m and
length of the saloon about 6.50 m.
-
Brill-23 Plataforma-Salão:
10 cars reconstructed out of Brill-23 cars by the workshops in the
fifties.
Alas reliable data about the
(re)constructions done by the workshops fail, which makes it difficult to
trace of each individual car its origins and career.
Also the STCP
did perform a number of reconstructions. Platforms were extended
into the Salão type, doors were fitted to cars with extended
platforms and some cars did get retractable steps at the
entrances.
As the history of
these cars is complicated, the description is divided into five chapters:
- The narrow Brill cars (Brill-23)
- The wide Brill cars (Brill-28)
- The Italianos of 1927/8 (Brill-32)
- The cars with extended
platforms from the period 1938-1945 (Brill-28
PlataformaSalão)
- The cars modernised by the
STCP around 1950
