Today's historic photo of the day: A1 class #tram no 234 on a Mont Albert bound route 42 trip at the Queen Street stop in Collins St, Melbourne, January 18 1987.

Collins Street, which runs approximately east-west through downtown Melbourne, has carried trams since 1886 when a cable tram line along Collins Street opened with lines to North Fitzroy and to Victoria Bridge . These lines were converted from cable to electric traction in 1929, and Collins Street carries electric trams to this day.

Today's historic photo of the day: Granite Island horse #tram no 5 or no 6 at Victor Harbor, SA, in early 1954.

This shot comes from a family photo album that belonged, I believe, to my great aunt. There are very few shots of rail interest, but this one sure is. It's not dated, but it sits in the album between photos of 'Queens Visit' in Adelaide and Ballarat with crowds and floral displays of crowns etc, so that most likely makes it 1954.

Today's historic photo of the day: Melbourne W7 class #tram no 1009 running a route 5 service from Malvern to the city heads west along Wattletree Road near Kooyong Road, Malvern, Vic, November 12 1988.

It's a bit difficult to precisely match this location using Streetview because the buildings are quite different. I think I may have found the tall stinkpipe in the distance - now truncated, painted green and used as a power pole, which, if correct, would make this just east of Kooyong Road.
