That BVVV line looks just like the one I used to take to school in Geneva. Loud and rattling. They then upgraded them and it turned out that their special quiet design was a safety hazard as they passed through the carless shopping street downtown. In NYC you can still occasionally see the old tracks here and there on the remnants of the old cobblestone streets.
