the former Dubrovnik tram, Croatia

A 1910s card - as the other color scenes show yellow trams, the blue is probably the whim of the tinter
 

The Dubrovnik tram system operated from 1910 until 1970. The first tram began on 10 December 1910 between the city gates and the nearby port of Gruž, and expanded with an extension of the original line to the Dubrovnik railway station, and a second line to the Lapad peninsula.  The tramway ceased in March 1970, the same year that the narrow gauge railway to Dubrovnik also ceased. The Dubrovnik tram used a 760 mm (2ft 6in) gauge.

One of the Dubrovnik tramcars is preserved in Zagreb.
