Topic: Melbourne tram route 42


  
  Melbourne
Melbourne is the capital and largest city of the state of Victoria, and the second largest city in Australia (after Sydney), with a population of 3.8 million in the Melbourne metropolitan area (June 2004) and 69,670 in the City of Melbourne (which covers only the central city area).
Melbourne has undergone a major urban 'revival', such that it is sometimes classed as being in a second tier of "world cities"; the GaWC study group in the UK ranks Melbourne, on the basis of relative availability of specialised "advanced services" as a "minor world city" comparable to cities such as Montreal, Osaka, and Prague.
Melbourne is built on the land of the Kulin nation, the original Aboriginal inhabitants of the area.

 TMSV: Hooves and iron - Melbourne's horse trams
The advantage of a horse tram over a horse omnibus is its much smoother ride, together with the ability to haul much greater loads, due to the lower rolling resistance of iron wheel on steel rail as compared to rough road surfaces.
However, horse trams were not ideal, as the horses left an unwelcome trail of manure and urine in their wake.
Many of the horse tram routes were established in order to support the interests of the land speculators in the 1880s.
