19 march 2010 - Porto, Museu do Carro Electrico/Tramway Museum: Now this tram is seriously old - built by the Starbuck company of Birkenhead, England in the 1860s (yes, 1860s!). It was designed to be drawn by horses or, in the case of Porto, by mules and was motorised in the early 1900s when the network was converted to electricity. It was rebuilt for the museum in 1997 and now occupies pride of place.
