The first tram line in Gothenburg was started 130years ago in 1879 by the English company Gothenburg Tramway Ltd.
This was a horse-drawn tramway, which stretched from Brunnsparken to Stigbergsliden.
The city of Gothenburg bought the tramway in 1900, and introduced electrically powered trams only two years later, when Sigfrid Edström led the electrification of the trams.
During the next 40 years, the tram system was heavily expanded, reaching outside the city borders by 1907, and Hisingen in 1940.
Sv "Åtskilliga förfriskningar stod till buds när hästspårvägslinjen mellan Brunnsparken och Stigbergsliden invigdes här "
Turen kostade 10 öre och första turen rullade iväg mot Stigbergsliden den 24 september 1879. Vid stigbergsbacken fick vagnen hjälp av en extrahäst som krokades på i farten av speciella ridpojkar

When I'm out caching I carry a supply of replacement log sheets so that I can help out the cache owner by carrying out any maintenance that's required.

If anybody would like to replace any logs that need urgent servicing in my caches, please do so.
Happy hunting.
