Random Portland fact
| Portland Cable Trams was established as a community organisation in June 1996, with the view to laying light rail to carry refurbished cable trams, as both an outlet for rail and heritage enthusiasts and a tourist venture. The tram is now on track and has carried over 30,000 passengers along the scenic route from Henty Park to the RSL Memorial Lookout, at the old North Portland Water Tower. One route takes in the natural wetlands (tidal) of Fawthrop Lagoon Park, another, the foreshore, cliff tops and residential areas. The Portland Cable Tram group is planning additional tram carriages and engines, for greater capacity. Larger tourist coaches have increased demand. The additional rolling stock will provide more reliability and maintenance support options. The trams run every day except Christmas Day. Volunteer drivers and conductors provide a commentary about Portland's significant past and present day buildings, Harbour and sights. |
