Trailer A 11501


This trailer was designed to be pulled by a steam tram. Passengers could travel in either first or second class. The trailer dates from 1908 and served on the Hoei-Burdinne line. After its active career, the A 11501 found a new use as a work cabin in the Andenne quarry. ASVI acquired the vehicle in 2011 and fully restored it. 

 
The 'A' in the numbering indicates that the tram was built for meter gauge. Most of the rural tram network was laid out in meter gauge. From 1885 until after the First World War, the lines in the northern part of the Antwerp province — connecting to the Dutch tram network — had a track gauge of 1067 mm (Cape gauge). The NMVB also had a few lines on standard gauge (track gauge 1435 mm). Carriages on Cape gauge were given a 'B' prefix, while those on standard gauge had a 'C' prefix.
