Turun Kaupungin Liikennekartta 1935

Tramway traffic began at 1890 as horse drawn and ended 1892. Electric tramway traffic began at the end of 1908 and lasted until 1972. There is three traditional caches at 1972 turnaround places of three different lines. In each of these there is part of a coordinate. Collect these coordinates and You can find a mystery cache: Trams at Turku – Depot.
There is no hint for Trams at Turku - Depot -cache!
Other caches of this series are:
Trams at Turku – Line 1
Trams at Turku -- Line 2
Trams at Turku – Line 3

Here has been turnaround for line 2 trams 16.9.1934 -- 1938. To turn themselves, trams drove from Vanha Hämeentie to Karjakuja and then it turned to Tammitie and back to Vanha -Hämeentie. There was a Depot at this end of track too. This was easternmost point of Turku tramlines on those days. In the early days of 1970 I remember there was still some hooks on the walls of near by buildings. Those hooks were used for hanging up the electrical wire for tram. I tried to find those hooks now without success.

Here is a link for log sheet about pulling down the building used to stand on the place. (thanx ranto)
