MTOC horse tram No 253 at Kilmore
|
This is a replica of a cross bench horse tram used on the Zoological
Gardens tram route between Royal Parade and the Melbourne Zoo. This tramline
was closed in 1923 following the destruction of the depot by fire during
the infamous police strike. This car was constructed from original drawings
and mounted on a standard Melbourne cable tram truck.
This tramcar was used for the horse tram service at Bylands prior to
the
availability of electric traction at the museum.
