125 Yrs Elec.tram

It was 16 May 1881 when electric trams by Siemens appeared and started service in the streets of Berlin, Germany.
The electrified track was only 1 1/2 mile, located in the Lichterfelde suburb.
I wish electric traction can take over more public transport at all levels.
The combustion engine lobby has had its say for too long.
