From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram is located in the city of Victor Harbor, South Australia, Australia.
The tramway links the visitor information centre in downtown Victor Harbor with the nearby Granite Island, running for half of its route over a 630 metre wooden causeway. It is one of the very few horse-drawn tram routes remaining in public transit service anywhere in the world, and provides service every day throughout the year.
The service was originally introduced in 1894 and ran until 1956, when the cars were disposed of. Service recommenced in 1985 with replica tram cars. There are four tramcars, each hauled by one of 8 Clydesdale horses.
