Museum of Sydney exhibits tram memorabilia.
Wynyard underground tram station and other scenes
North Shore residents found memories of the underground platforms at Wynyard which formed the city terminal for the northern system once the Sydney Harbour Bridge was opened in 1932.
Sydney was amongst the first cities to have such a feature - one which many cities are now including in their new light rail systems!
There was a rare glimpse of a model of the steam hauled trailers which passengers rode in the late 1800s for for the early years of the 1900s.
Most pictures depict the steam motors, though passenger rides on them were officially forbidden.
Major maintenance of this huge fleet, which peaked at 1500 in the 1930s, was conducted at the large facility of the tramway workshops in King Street Randwick.
Complete overhauls took place at Randwick. Routine minor maintenance, of course, was done at the various depots.
