Wiener Stadtwerke tram type Z no. 4208. Built 1939 for Third
Avenue Transit System (New York City), 1948 this system was
dismantled and replaced by subways and buses. 42 cars were sold
to Wien, they were popular for their padded seats that could be
oriented to the direction of travel, however they could not be
used on all lines due to their greater width, they did not have
magnetic rail brakes and could not pull trailers. They remained
in service until 1969.
