Horse drawn tram

Horse drawn tram

September 1964

"Taken by my father, Ian Tweedy. The website for the Tramway Historical Society indicates that,10 years after electric trams had stopped operating in the city, the restored no.43 ran as a horse-drawn tram on the last exposed section of track in Papanui Road. Given the number of spectators, this was presumably just a one-off event." - Contributor's note
