Tallinn Trams - Estonia - Simplon Postcards

This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of Riga trams.

The first tram route in Tallinn opened in 1882. Post-World War 2 deliveries were initially from Gotha in East Germany. From 1979-1979 Tatra T4 trams 250-309 were delivered, followed by Tatra KT4 trams 52-123 from 1981-1990. Additional KT4 trams from Gera were received in 1997 and numbered 123-132, followed by 133-138 from Cottbus (2004), 143 from Frankfurt-an-der-Oder in 2006, and 144-149 from Erfurt in 2006. KT4 trams are very slowly receiving low-floor centre sections. Only T4 and KT4 designs remain in service. Since 1962 there have been 4 routes which link four termini at Kopli, Kadriorg, Ülemiste and Tondi:-

1 Kopli - Kadriorg 2 Kopli - Ülemiste 3 Tondi - Kadriorg 4 Tondi - Ülemiste

Recently a fifth weekday route between Kopli and Vana-Louna has been opened. On my visit on a Sunday there was extensive work on the lines to Kadriorg and Ülemiste. Therefore a temporary route 6 was in place between Kopli and Tondi. No T4 trams were in service hence all images show KT4 trams. The gauge of Tallinn's tracks is 1067mm and they have 20km of route.

2007 images on this page were taken during a Baltic Cruise on Celebrity Constellation. 2013 images were taken during a cruise on Brilliance of the Seas.
