!!!Dampftramway

Steam Tram: 1883 Krauss & Co. opened a service from Hietzing to 
Perchtoldsdorf in Vienna, 1886 from Gaudenzdorf to Hietzing, from 
Stephaniebruecke bridge (today Salztorbruecke bridge) to Stammersdorf 
and Gross-Enzersdorf, 1887 from Perchtoldsdorf to Moedling and from 
Hietzing to Ober-St.-Veit. In 1907 the Municipality of Vienna took 
over these lines, including them in the urban network, and electrified 
most of them between 1908-1912, the services from Mauer to Moedling 
and from Kagran to Gross-Enzersdorf were not electrified until 
1921/22. - Additionally, the New Vienna Tramway Society (a horse 
streetcar company) set up three routes 1884-1886. The tram from 
Gaudenzdorf to Wiener Neudorf, electrified in 1907, developed into the 
suburban railway from Vienna to Baden.

Apart from Vienna, suburban steam trams were also established in 
Salzburg (1886-1909) and Innsbruck (1891-1936).
