Street Motors on the Government Tramways at Sydney, New South Wales
The writer does not propose to discuss the relative merits of different systems of tramway traction, but to give only the details of cost of working steam motors in the City of Sydney, as these are seldom given with the fullness desired by engineers. There are five main lines leading into this city, all joining into one at a point about three-fourths of a mile from the terminal station. From these main lines there are eight branch lines, three of which have engines running to and from their junctions only. The engines of the remaining five of the branches run over the main lines to the head terminal station.
