OB overhead and football 1

In the winter in NZ it used to be great to watch
the footy trams after the RUGBY game at Athletic Park in Wellington.
A veritable river of people would pour out of the
gates and walk in to the City if the could not get a tenacious but suicidal
foothold on a tram.
These shots were taken at the Basin Reserve,
where the tram line made four right angle turns to avoid running through
the centre of the cricket venue.
Note the OB style trolleybus sweeps in the tram
overhead.
These would have been made in Kilbirnie workshops
and you can note the clips holding the grooved wire and the galvanised stayrod
anchoring the fitting to the span which was doulbled to carry the tension
of 6 trolley wires.
