Geneva trams and the jet d'eau


Geneva, Switzerland, tram 67 and a trailer are seen in Rue Pierre Fatio in the 1980s.  In the background is one of the city's icons since 1891, the Jet d'Eau: 500 litres (132 gallons) of water per second are jetted to an altitude of 140 metres (459 feet) by two 500 kW pumps.
