The tram that survive nuclear explosion, a symbol for rebirth of the city.
After the drop of “Big Boy”, most of the tram is damaged (or vanished), but there are still four of them managed to survive.
With a speed limite of 35 km/h, it is considered too slow and retired in 2006. But fortunately, 2 of them would operate during peak hours. For now, on the day when the bomb is dropped, at 8:15, they will stop at Hiroshima Peace Memorial.
As a closing note, when tram stops at the Memorial, the announcement will be made with a special bell.
