DescriptionPhotograph by C. Poulsen of horse drawn trams in Brisbane's Queen Street in the early 1890s.jpg |
English: Have you ever wondered where the word tram derived
its name? In the 18th century, when the demand for coal increased and the traffic became greater, flat iron plates were fitted to the faces of the wooden 'rails' to lessen the heavy wear and tear and the cost of replacement. Then an intelligent individual, perhaps one of the horse-drivers, further improved the track by introducing a turned-up. edge or trammel- from which the word tram is taken— to keep the wheels from slipping off.
