24 August 2007 - Sarajevo, GRAS-Betriebshof. Nach dem II Weltkrieg bekam Sarajevo PCC-Strassenbahnen aus Washington, und sie dienten noch einige Jahren in die Bosnische Hauptstadt. Dank diesen Wagen wurde das Netz auf Normalspur umgespurt (frueher Meterspur), und die Nachfolger aus dem Hause Tatra tragen bis Heute die Stromabnehmer hinten.

8 September 2014 - Remiza/Tramway Depot Sarajevo. The tramway line in Sarajevo dates from 1895, but has suffered many trials since it opened. Built to the Bosnian track gauge of 760mm, it became very run down by the 1950s and its tramcars were in great need of replacement. To re-equip the system, a decision was taken to completely re-gauge the track to standard gauge and a batch of second-hand PCC cars was obtained from America, of which #71 of the Washington system is the last survivor. This tram is operated occasionally for enthusiasts.

8 September 2014 - Sarajevo Railway Station. The ex-Washington PCC car poses in front of striking new architecture near the main railway station. Sarajevo suffered a damaging civil war a few years ago and things are only now getting back to normal - the cities` tramway has been re-equipped with various old trams from Netherlands, Austria and some other countries. The PCC would have been powered by conduit between the rails in Washington - unlike London, where the current collector automatically slid out from underneath when required, the Washington system relied on men who waited in large pits betweek the rails to add or remove the collector when the tram stopped above. Not a very pleasant job!
