February 24 1992 Cairo Egypt
This slide is labelled Cairo Streetcar, Miden TAHRIR, Cairo. In these days of unrest in Egypt, the news is often full of the name Tahrir Square. On this cool day in 1992, the only item of interest for me was this decrepit streetcar.
A good friend had talked me into this trip to Egypt. Things did not work out as expected, but I now have a much better appreciation of Egypt and its transportation system.
Although I was gently escorted out of a railway yard, I found most Egyptians very welcoming.
