Tallinn, Estonia, trams


The system in the capital of Estonia began with horse trams in 1888 and the system was electrified quite late, in 1925.  Tramcars were made locally before WW2 but post-war cars came from Gotha in the DDR and the Czech Tatra manufacturer.  The present system has 4 lines for every day and a 5th line used on weekdays.  The second pic of a Tatra KT4 by Ian Boyle in 2007 comes from this webpage where there are several more.
