A SPECIAL DAY FOR A W
SW5 738
I have often had a knack for planning holidays that coincide with interesting transport things that are happening. These are usually firsts, lasts, or just irregular events.
On this day, quite by chance, I turned up in Collins Street (Melbourne if by chance you are not aware) to find 738 trailing behind a couple of A2 class.
While not a monumentally huge surprise, I had photographed her a few days earlier at Preston Workshops, I was totally unaware that she was to be doing her first run as a 'Transporting Art' tram before I headed on back to Sydney.

The painting of the tram 'The Desert Tram' was commissioned and painted by artist Jeffrey Makin in 1987.
VicSig lists the tram as being stored in Newport Workshops.
