Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram

A 3.1 km (1.9 mi) tramway links the city's visitor information centre with the nearby Granite Island.

From 1940 his younger brother, Frank, took over until the line was closed in 1955 when the old working jetty and remnants of the Victoria Pier were being demolished by the Harbours Board.

Between 1956 and 1986 two rubber-tyred trailers towed by a small Ferguson tractor, later by a Land Rover with cladding to imitate the outline of a steam locomotive, provided a service with half the 32-person seating capacity of the tram cars.

Four replica tram cars, each to carry 52 passengers, were built with tubular steel, timber cladding and roller bearings.

[4][3] In the 1990s rubber matting was installed on the causeway to assist the horses, of which there are 14 that each rotate on two three-hour shifts (of 3–4 trips) per week.

[5] After an urgent engineering assessment, major concerns were raised over the ageing causeway's ability to support the weight of the tramcars, and tram operations were again suspended on 23 January.
