About this book
The history of trams and tram routes often reflects the social and economic life of a city during a particular period. That is why this ‘trams and tram lines’ booklet is intended not only for rail transport enthusiasts, but also for all those who enjoy looking at pictures from days gone by, whilst not losing sight of the present and the future. As well as a ‘tour’ through eight booklets focusing on electric trams, the steam tram – which began to gain ground around a century ago – also deserves our attention. The horse-drawn tram sometimes features in these overviews too. This is the first time a comprehensive overview of the well-known steam tram service from the Gooi region has been published in book form. Mr Engel, who made his mark as a writer of articles about ‘his’ company, including in ‘Op de rails’, has illustrated this historical overview with dozens of carefully selected photographs that will bring the past back to life for many. This booklet also features the horse-drawn tram from ‘s-Graveland to Hilversum and the HSM tram from Bussum to Huizen.
