Old photograph of a Tram, houses and people on Forfar Road in Dundee, Scotland. Horse drawn trams were first introduced in 1877 by the Dundee and District Tramways followed by steam haulage in the 1880s. Dundee's trams came under municipal management in 1893. The City Corporation then replaced the steam and horse trams with electric traction between 1900 and 1902. The track was Standard gauge. The last trams built for Dundee were better known as the " Lochee " trams. They were built in 1930 by Brush of Loughborough, England. As the widest trams in the fleet, they were restricted to the Lochee Road route. They were withdrawn on the closure of the route in 1956.
