Waterloo Place [Tram]
The remnants of Edinburgh's cable-car system in Waterloo Place, looking east on 17 November 2009. Notice the central slotted rail within which the cable ran. Edinburgh's first cable hauled 'tramcar' ran in 1888 with the system operating for 35 years until eventually being converted to electric traction (which had been employed by Leith Corporation to operate its trams since 1905).
