Karori electric tramway route


Two postcards that were considered for but not used in the book Wellington Transport Memories.  The first shows a tramcar making its way down Glenmore Street with the original one lane Kelburn Viaduct in the background, replaced at the beginning of the 1930s with a more solid two lane structure, the second shows the tram route curving its way around a horseshoe bend at the viaduct level.  For more, see the book mentioned, as well as Wellington: a Capital century.
