[edit] Disneyland horsecars
I did a little searching around this morning, and it's amazing that I couldn't find a decent picture of the Disneyland horsecars. Maybe someone near a Disney park could get a decent photo? Slambo (Speak) 11:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Globalizing
This article as it stood represented a very USA-centric viewpoint. Although much of the history originated in the USA I have expanded it to reference other European systems. I hit one definition problem with the České Budějovice - Linz horsecar line of 1828. I'm not sure whether it was, properly speaking, a horsetram, although it was a car pulled by horses - "Pferdeeisenbahn" literally translates as "horse railway". It was 120 km long and mainly ran on its own tracks, and was partly used for freight. It seems to cross several definitions. However IMHO it warrants a mention, and a better description in its own article in WP. Its well written up in the German WP here if someone would like to be bold and start it off!
