Boogie saloon tram, ca. 1920

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Saloon cars Each tram in this class was constructed by joining two single deck saloon horse trams together on a single motorized chassis. Their long, enclosed bodies gave rise to their nickname of "coffin cars". They were built in 1897 when delivery of new electric trams was delayed. 6 cars in this class. They were all withdrawn from service by 1930. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Brisbane

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Horse trams began servicing Brisbane in 1885 running from the city to Woolloongabba, yet electric trams in Ipswich Rd made Mr. Soden’s horse-drawn buses out-of-date by the turn of the century. Electric trams began in Brisbane in 1897 and reached Cornwall street that year. The extension from Cornwall to Dudley Street (then Mary Street) along Ipswich Road in 1899 changed the predominantly rural landscape into residential living. The line was extended to Chardon’s Corner in 1914. Source: www.everywherehistory.com/history-annerley-part-2/

  Another good photograph. Particularyliking the vehicles and dirt on the buildings - I can't imagine how dirty the air could be back then!

• Billy Embleton said:

  There are offices on the roof of this portico, since 1959.

• Glyn Nelson said:

  The tram wires are still there, but no tram rails. When did they stop trams in Newcastle?

• Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:

  Good question. The last Newcastle tram ran in 1950. The wires in this picture were used for trolleybuses.

• Glyn Nelson said:

  ahh, that makes more sense. Thanks!
