 Tram - Free net encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The first trams, known as streetcars in north America, or horsecars, that were built in the United States, and developed from city stagecoach lines and omnibus lines that picked up and dropped off passengers on a regular route and without the need to be pre-hired.
Modern trams generally use overhead electric cables, from which they draw current through a pantograph, a bow collector (less commonly) or the now-rare trolley pole (the former is most common and used on most new tram designs).
In Melbourne, in addition to newer types of trams in use such as the Citadis and the Combino and the middle-aged A, B and Z class trams, older W-class trams (of the dropcentre design referred to above) remain in service and are a popular tourist attraction.

Trams in Adelaide were all but wiped out in 1958 with the exception of the single Glenelg Tram line, which links the city centre with the seaside suburb of Glenelg and operates substantially along its own right of way and continues to run to this day as public transport.
Tram services also existed in Johannesburg (where the suburban railway to Boksburg, opened in 1890, was also called the Rand Tram), Pretoria and Durban but were replaced by petrol, diesel and trolley bus systems by the early 1960s.

 TMSV: Footscray - genesis of a local tramway
A direct route to the Melbourne system was never built — instead a wandering route via Maribyrnong was gradually patched together between 1941 and 1954.
What remains of the Footscray lines is route 82, a cross-suburban route between Ascot Vale and Footscray railway station, which is not of any particularly great utility, especially as the heavy manufacturing and munitions industries that it served and that once drove the economy of the Footscray area have withered.
The key to the closure of the local Footscray routes in February 1962 was the failure by the FTT to build the direct route to connect to the Essendon lines.
