Sapporo Streetcar 200 series

The Sapporo Streetcar 200 series was a Japanese streetcar type operated by the Sapporo Municipal Transport Bureau on the Sapporo Streetcar network from December 1957 to October 1971.
==History==
The 200 series cars was a series of streetcars manufactured for the Sapporo Streetcar network. A total of eight cars were manufactured between December 1957 and June 1958 by the Sapporo Sogo Kōgyō Cooperative, a cooperative of a number of minor rolling stock manufacturing companies based in Sapporo; four companies, Fujiya Tekkō, Naebo Kōgyō, Taiwa Sharyō and Unyu Kōgyō, manufactured the cars using equipment from scrapped 150 and 170 series cars. Production cost was ¥3.687m per car.
Operation began in December 1957. The cars were not included as part of the scope of the wanman modifications starting in 1970; all cars were retired by October 1971 with the beginning of the abolition of a number of routes on the Sapporo Streetcar network. No 200 series cars have been preserved.
==Design==
The 200 series cars featured a boxy design. The cars's original livery was orange with gray accents; in later years the cars were repainted in the Sapporo Municipal Transport Bureau's corporate colors of a tan body with green accents.
==Specifications==
Construction of the cars was of steel. The cars used a nose suspension drive system and rode on a type of bogie manufactured in-house by the Sapporo Sogo Kōgyō Cooperative. 
The cars did not feature automatic doors; the front door was a folding door due to its reuse of a two-axled streetcar's chassis.
