Neat pics

I just realized from watching videos on Youtube that the NS04 sounds just like the NS93 when it pulls out of the station. Neat!

Yes, sound like but are not equal. The sound of the NS-04 (Alstom = The NS93) is rougher, shorter.

The NS-93 are great in every way, both manufacturing and sound.

NS-04

NS-93

Thanks for the clarification sir. Much appreciated

Santiago once also had a very good tram network. The first electric tram was tested 1 April 1900 and five decorated open cars officially inaugurated Chile's first electric street railway system, 1435 mm gauge, on Sunday 2 September 1900. The parade ran from the Mapocho shops down Calles Brazil, Rosas and Bandera to Av. Bernardo O'Higgins. By the end of that year, 56 electric trams were running on 43 km of new electric tram track. Other routes were constructed gradually. But the bad patch started during forties. Electric Bond & Share's power and tramway companies - the CCE in Santiago and the CEV in Valparaiso - were taken over by the Chilean government on 15 September 1945. The new Empresa Nacional de Transportes, which officially began operation on 22 September, inherited a fleet of 488 passenger trams in the capital: the 90 Brill cars built in 1926-1931, 40 vehicles rebuilt in the 1930s numbered #225-239 and #731-755, 17 4-axle German cars, 175 German 4-wheelers, and 166 wooden trailers - the latter all constructed before the First War. ENT vowed to revitalize the nation's urban transport systems and began with a program of tramway replacement. It removed rails from most of the streets in the central area and closed the San Bernardo line beyond the city limits. Finally, the tramway network closed in 1978. It is noted that it was not closed during the anti tram sixties.

All trams have disappeared from Santiago today. None was preserved. However, the rails are intact on many streets, the line poles hold street lamps, and the tram depot at Calles Mapocho and Brazil has survived. The right-of-way of the rack railway on Cerro Santa Lucia - which closed in 1910 - is a pedestrian path called Camino del Ferrocarril, a name that baffles many residents. Santiago's rubber-tired metro system, which opened in September 1976, follows the route of the San Bernardo tramway as far as La Cisterna, and a new line is planned along the route of the Puente Alto railway.

Can anybody post here photos of some remains of former tram network?

Why line 4 has constructed with steel wheel system rather than rubber tired like other lines?

Will future line 3 & 6 also be rubber tired?

Ashis Mitra · March 22nd, 2011, 07:32 PM

The last tram of Santiago. Chilean cities was mainly used double decker trams.

Santiago has the most modern metro network in South America. It uses mostly rubber tired metro. But I think it is not the best solution. Although they are quieter, accelerate faster, climb steeper, stop quicker, but also costlier because this is not widely accepted and very limited companies manufactures their parts. It is under continuous high investment. I think, for those reasons, the line 4 was chosen for steel wheeled cars.

Will future line 3 & 6 also use steel wheeled cars? I recommend that. Rubber tired metro is not an ideal solution.

hello Ashis Mitra.
the line 4 and lines 6 and 3 future will be built to train with steel wheels that carry it allows more people, allow for higher speeds

Nope, in English, the term "Americas" refers to South and North America as a whole. So the commenter was correct.

Absolutly agree. the L4 for me the L4 is the most comfortable of all, fast, fresh and trucks because steel wheels support more people. For example Tobalaba station (L1 and L4), there is much influx of people especially in the platform of the L4, but empties quickly, it is convenient to enter the train as opposed to the L1 (rubber wheels and thinner trains).

Thank you. Better let than never. I support steel wheel metros.

I’ve some questions (arose after viewing some websites). Please answer one by one –
1) Will line 5 be extended from Paduahel to Plaza De Maipu?
2) Will there be a new line 3 from Santa Ana to Pedro Argue Cedra via Pedro De Valdevia, Iradazaval Oriente, Nuble, and Franklin?
3) Will there be a new line 6 from Tobalaba to Los Magallanes via Udraneta, Agua Salud & Gato Negro?
