Städtische Straßenbahnen Wien tram type D1 no. 314 (Simmering 1925). Originally built 1899 as type D no. 161, it was one of the many "small" tramcars rebuilt in the 1920s, with a new chassis (wheelbase increased from 1.8 to 2.4 m) and a new "glass front" on the balconies. They were mostly used on the old Reichsbrücke which was too weak for heavier trams. This car was sold to the tram of Baden in 1942, later used as a dual power work car on the Wiener Lokalbahnen, in service until 1976. From 1995 to 1997 it was restored in working order in the appearance of 1925. Length 8.58 m, wheelbase 2.4 m, weight 8.8 t, power 50 kW. Wiener Straßenbahnmuseum, 2011-06-26. tobias b köhler
