Reverse Sightseeing Tour on a Lubricating Tram

by Christoph · February 7, 2016

What to do this weekend…

How about a “reverse” sightseeing tour through Prague in your living room chair, watching the streets from Prague’s Lubricating Tram. That special train runs every day about 200 km (125 miles) from early morning to late evening (Central European Time) and lubricates the rails. A wireless webcam is mounted on the back. Don’t forget to turn on the sound!

Die Verfolgung der Position wird von Data Rail Czech Republic zur Verfügung gestellt. Eine große Karte ist hier verfügbar.

If you don’t see the live stream, you can try here. If the image and position are not moving, then the tram might be taking some rest in the depot.
