Tram-ride like an electrical engineer!

The 100 Bengal tram is back on track.  

On 1 June 2023, the University of Miskolc held a Professional Day of Electrical Engineering, during which the legendary 100-track one-way Bengal tram was rolled out of the remise again. The professional day started with company presentations in the auditorium III of the University of Miskolc, followed by the tram baptism and nostalgia tram ride. The welcome ceremony of the tramway started at 14:40 at the Tisza Railway Station, and then the tramway "rode through the girbe-gurba streets of Miskolc". The occasion was the 25th anniversary of the graduation of the first class of electrical engineers at the University of Miskolc.

The FVV 1100 type tram number 100, commonly known as the Bengal tram, was put into service in Miskolc on 3 October 1962. The Bengal trams were named after their staggering size and their roaring sound, similar to that of a Bengal tiger. In Miskolc, this type was finally withdrawn in 2004 and replaced by the red trams from Vienna. The tram number 100 was baptised by the Institute of Physics and Electrical Engineering and the Council of Electrical Engineering of the University of Miskolc in accordance with student tradition and given the name Bengal Tiger, also known as Amper-hunter tiger. He was also accepted as an honorary citizen and honorary member of the university community, making the Bengal Tram a new symbol of electrical engineering education, along with the Vienna, Amper-hunter Piroska Tram, who was christened in 2018.

Those who participated in the nostalgia tram ride received a numbered nostalgia ticket as a souvenir, which also served as a raffle. The raffle draws took place at the Upper Majláth terminus on the tram.

The great atmosphere was provided by traditional Selmec songs.
