ATM Class 1500 tramcar
Via Alessandro Manzoni
Milan, May 2018
“The ATM Class 1500, also known as type 1928, is a series of tram vehicles used by the ATM on the Milan urban tramway network. In the 1920s, the increasing traffic on the Milan urban tramway network made pressing the substitution of the old tramcars ‘type Edison’. The municipal tram office decided to design a new type of tramcars, built on two bogies, taking as model the Peter Witt streetcars built in Cleveland and in other cities of the United States. The Milan streetcar was projected by the municipal engineers in 1927, and two prototypes, built by Carminati & Toselli and numbered 1501 and 1502, came into service at the end of the same year. After a few tests, the construction of a 500 units stock (numbered 1503 to 2002) began, divided between several manufacturers." (ATM Class 1500, Wikipedia)
