The Old Steam Tram

A few times a year, they take the Steam Tram out of the Tram Museum, which is next to our apartment. This time it was to give rides with St. Nicolas for the children of Bern. We can hear it in our apartment, even with the windows closed. Nothing else makes the sound it does. So I ran out on our balcony in my slippers and got a picture of it "warming up." When it takes off, brown/black smoke comes out of the front chimney besides the steam out of the steam pipe. It makes quite a sight chugging down the street! Unfortunately, I couldn't get my shoes on fast enough to get you a picture of that.
