FIRST — Electric Tram Route in Dunedin— Dunedin, New Zealand - First of its Kind on Waymarking.com

TRAMWAY POLE

This last remaining original Edwardian tramway pole was part of the first electric tram route in Dunedin, opened to the public on 24 December 1903. Subsequent extensions gave the city a comprehensive and very successful passenger tramway service which served the citizens until its closure in 1956. This system was the first council owned and operated electric tramway system in New Zealand.

The conservation and restoration of this historic pole in 2006 recognises the outstanding service given to the people of Dunedin by the electric tramcars and the staff who operated this service in all weathers and circumstances.
