Cable trams consisted of a grip car (or dummy) which towed a trailer saloon car. Melbourne's network of cable tramways developed from the 1880s and became one of the largest in the world at that time. Electrification of the line occurred between 1925 and 1937. This and other postcards and photos came from the estate of David Moyle (1938-2015) who was a police officer in Emerald during late 1960s-early 1970s, and subsequently at Belgrave in the early 1980s. David Moyle was closely associated with the now defunct Sherbrooke Historical Association.This postcard is significant because of its evocation of the early history of Melbourne's much-loved trams. it is also part of a collection belonging to a community member who had a close association with a local historical society.Photographic print of a Melbourne tramcar circa 1920sdavid moyle, police, emerald, belgrave, tramcar, melbourne, 1920s
