Australia - Newcastle Tramway System
The following pages contain a brief history of the Newcastle Tramway System, which commenced in 1887 and finished in 1950. These pages contain some text and images of trams that were used on the Newcastle network. Please do not be too critical of the quality of the images as most photos were taken by amatuer photographers with basic camera equipment of that era.

Australian tram information page
Here is the place to find out about the trams of Australia, both past and present: where they can be
found, and where and when they run. Present-day operation of trams as public transport--route maps, service frequency, fares--the
sort of information that is useful to potential passengers. Each city is covered separately.
Then
Historical operations of trams in Australia. There are descriptions of trams in various cities, and
a short history of the Australia-wide picture. All of these contain links to more detailed
descriptions of tram types, and ultimately, to the museums where you can find them. (e.g. Are
you interested in Birney cars? Find out where most of the world's remaining ones are!)

Chicago, IL - Chicago Transit & Railfan
Chicago and its extensive railroad network evolved hand in hand. The city grew around its elevated and streetcar lines, while many suburbs grew around the commuter railroads and interurban lines. The streetcar lines have been replaced with buses and the interurbans are mostly gone, but Chicago remains the railroad center of the nation. by Bill Vandervoort
