Sapporo Streetcar A810 series

The Sapporo Streetcar A810 series was a Japanese articulated streetcar type operated by the Sapporo Municipal Transport Bureau on the Sapporo Streetcar network from September 1964 to June 1976.
==History==
The A810 series cars was a series of articulated streetcars manufactured for the Sapporo Streetcar network. A total of two two-car sets were manufactured in September 1964 by Nippon Sharyo.
Operation began in September 1964. The sets were withdrawn in June 1976 when all other articulated streetcars were withdrawn. No A810 series cars have been preserved.
==Design==
The A810 series cars featured a boxy design. The cars were painted 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 Nippon Sharyo's N-104A or N-106 bogies, the latter being the articulated bogies between segments.
Compared to the A800 series cars these were based on, the A810 series cars featured optimizations to allow for better passenger flow such as boarding and paying the fare at the rear car and moving towards the front.
==Preservation==
A811-A812 and A813-A814 were used as children's libraries in various wards of Sapporo. Both sets were scrapped around 1983.
