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.
