IT’S TIME FOR SPRING MAINTENANCE AT THE SANDIA PEAK TRAMWAY…AND THAT MEANS IT’S SHUT DOWN UNTIL A WEEK FROM FRIDAY. IN ADDITION TO THE REGULAR, ROUTINE WORK, SPOKESWOMAN DEBBIE OWEN SAYS THEY’LL ALSO BE REPLACING THE TWO TRAM CARS.
OWEN SAYS THE NEW TRAM CARS WERE DELIVERED FROM SWITZERLAND IN MARCH. OWEN SAYS THE OLD TRAM CARS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR 30 YEARS. THEY HELD 47 PEOPLE…AND OWEN SAYS THE NEW CARS MIGHT HOLD A FEW MORE.
THE PLAN IS TO REOPEN THE TRAM AT 5PM ON APRIL 22ND. HIGH FINANCE RESTAURANT WILL ALSO BE CLOSED DURING THE MAINTENANCE PERIOD, BUT SANDIAGO’S WILL REMAIN OPEN.
