A Brief Look At The Victor Harbor Horse Tram. "Australia's Last Horse Tramway"
This is a brief video showcasing the Victor Harbor horse tramway. The last regular service horse powered tramway in Australia. It is one of only a few still operating anywhere in the world today.
Victor Harbor is located 82 km south of Adelaide South Australia and has a population of 16,139 people. Victor Harbor and the Victor Harbor horse tramway can be accessed by bus from Adelaide with 4 to 5 daily trips taking about 2 hours.
The Victor Harbor horse tramway operates a 3.1km long route via a sea causeway that links Victor Harbor with Granite Island. The tram runs on 1600mm broad gauge tracks similar to the former South Australian railways. There is a fleet of 3 double deck trams that are each pulled by a clydesdale horse. Most days of the year only one tram is in operation. However during the busy summer season the additional trams are used.
There are 14 clydesdale horses used by the tramway that each work for around 3 hours twice a week before resting. This is to ensure the welfare of the horses are looked after and no single horse is worked all day. The horse trams do not operate during extreme heat to protect the horses from overheating.
The Victor Harbor horse tramway operates every 40 minutes in each direction. The hours of operations vary with the seasons and the day of the week from just a few hours each day to as much as an all day service during summer school holidays.
The Victor Harbor horse tramway opened in 1867 and was used to haul freight from ships at a pier on Granite Island to Victor Harbor railway station. Until 1894 there were no passenger trams. Then in 1894 a former South Australian railways double deck horse tram was gifted to the tramway. The horse trams operated continuously from 1894 until 1956 when motorised traction in the form of a Ferguson tractor was introduced to haul the trams.
Then in 1986 with help from the South Australian government the horses were brought back to the Victor Harbor horse tramway as it was historically authentic to operate the tramway with horses. Today the tramway not only provides a relaxing way to Granite Island it is an important tourist attraction for the Victor Harbor region.

The footage in this video was produced in November 2018.

    They were still building the light-rail when I was in the ACT last and from this footage it ended up being a very successful project. From my first time in the ACT thirty years ago to what the territory has become it's a massive change for the better. I love Canberra..... 😎🇦🇺👍

    A very interesting video, and a place I'm looking forward to seeing for myself soon. One thing though: Either stand dead still when videoing or get a tripod. It makes all the difference when making videos. I've made numerous videos (click my username). Generally I try to stand still, other times if I have time to set up I will use a tripod.

    Why are they running diesel locomotives under electric wires? Would electric locomotives not be a whole lot cheaper? Especially at today's prices for diesel?!?!?

    • @thaitransit
      @thaitransit 3 місяці тому

      They only operate electric coal trains nowdays in central Queensland. Many years ago, there were electric locomotive hauled general freight trains between Brisbane and Rockhampton. The freight companies seem to think its cheaper to use diesel locomotives than build new electric locomotives. The other issue is they will have to sawp to diesel locomotives at Rockhampton if they want to travel north of Rockhampton as that area is not electrified.
