Driving an old tram in Oslo

SS tram no. 70 from 1913 with trailer 647 is driven in Oslo on Saturday 10th April 2010. We watch the ride from Biermanns gate to Olaf Ryes plass downhill through Birkelunden. Note that the driver is handling 750 Volts directly in the controller. When turning the controller handle clockwise from nill, he's applying power. When turning the handle counter-clockwise, he's applying brake notches stepwise. He's not using the last brake notch as it applies the 750 Volts magnetic track brakes, only used in an emergency. We can also listen to the use of the foot bell to warn other people around the tram.
