From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Narrow gauge trams use temporary tracks on the ice crossing the Neva River in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
A tram (tramcar, trolley, streetcar, or street railway) is a railborne vehicle, lighter than a typical train, designed for the transport of passengers (and/or, very occasionally, freight) within, close to, or between villages, towns and/or cities. Trams are distinguishable from other forms of railborne vehicles in that they often travel wholly or partly along tracks laid down in streets, usually on track reserved for the tram system. Also, most tram systems lack platforms — riders simply step off the car.
