MILAN, Italy (AP) — Milan’s tram network is one of Italy’s largest and oldest, with the core fleet dating back to the late 19th century, The network began with horse-drawn carriages, switching to steam in 1878, becoming fully electrified by 1901.
The polished raised cabins, wooden interiors and ornate lighting of the oldest trams still operating, dating from 1927-'30, offer the perspective of a bygone era, especially alongside sleeker, modern models.
