| A predecessor horse tram |
Scenes of the original metre-gauge electric system which lasted from 1911 to 1963. Most of the motorised car and trailer fleet dated from 1911, built by the Grazer Waggonfabrik. A few of different ages were transferred from other places. Three motorised cars from the Simmering Waggonfabrik were added in 1942.
In 2005 the trams made a comeback with a 5.78 km (3.6 mile) line from the Central Station to the Lake.
