He also examines the controversies surrounding the tram system, including debates over its safety, noise pollution, and impact on horse-drawn vehicles.The Tram Chronograph is a valuable resource for historians, transportation enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the development of urban infrastructure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
