The historic electric tram of the Santa Fe city of Rosario will circulate again tomorrow with free tours along Wheelwright Street from Presidente Roca to Balcarce, and in the opposite direction, in a proposal for the whole family, which challenges the fantasy of the youngest who do not They got to know this means of transportation and it evokes memories in adults.
Both locals and tourists who visit that city on this long weekend will be able to enjoy Sunday with a ride on the oldest electric passenger tram that continues to ply the streets of Rosario on special dates.
The proposal is completely free and without prior registration, it has two hours that go from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Passengers can start their journey both at the intersection of Wheelwright and Presidente Roca, as well as at Wheelwright and Balcarce.
It will be a new opportunity to relive the experience of traveling aboard one of the most emblematic transports of that city.
The return of this initiative was achieved through a joint effort between the Municipality of Rosario, Rosarina Friends of the Rail Association, the Movi company and the Rosario Mobility Entity.
This is Car 277, a unit built in 1939, which used the streets of Rosario until 1963, the year in which electric trams stopped circulating in the city.
In July 2014, after hard and intense work by a specialized team made up of Semtur (current state company Movi) and the Rosarina Friends of the Rail Association, with contributions from the Municipality of Rosario, it was reconditioned and restored.
The recovery and putting into operation of this emblematic vehicle recovers a significant part of the history of the city and its urban mobility, as a protagonist in shaping the city’s identity.
Every time this unit runs through the streets of the city, a large number of neighbors come as a family to enjoy a ride on the historic tram.
