The 76cm gauge railways of Yugoslavia



Uskotracne (76-centimetarske) pruge bivse Jugoslavije

The Dubrovnik Tramway network



The small network ran from the City Gates to the railway station plus a branch to Uvala.  The final tram ran on 21 March 1970.




Tom Burnham writes: It was a small system of 760mm gauge, with a Y-shaped layout - this is at the junction (see point lever in front of the tram). There were two versions of the 4-wheeled trams, one with a slightly more modern styling, running in motor-trailer sets. The afternoons tended to see power cuts, and the trams would regularly come to a dead stop along the Put Marsala Tita.
