Watch for Trams

by Colin Jones

Well-done history of tramways (or trolley systems) in Australia, from 1896 on. Almost every city and large town had a tram system at some point and almost every motive power -- horse, steam, cable, battery, and electric -- was used. This book explores the rise and fall of this much-loved method of transportation throughout the country. Illustrated with black and white photos. With extensive bibliographical notes. 128 pages with index.

160 pages, Hardcover

First published January 1, 1994
