Carbarn Tours

What happens behind the scenes of an electric tramway? What equipment is used to maintain the trams? What does a tram look like before our restorers get to work on it?

Find out on the fourth Sunday in the month [except in December], when the Society conducts an Open Day at our Carbarn and workshops complex at Whiteman Park.

A variety of trams are in service, and during the tour of the Carbarn and workshop visitors can see

• preserved tramcar bodies from Kalgoorlie, Fremantle and Perth;
• restoration work nearing completion on Perth 66 - the last electric tram to run in Western Australia;
• workshop facilities.

Historical photographs from the Society's collection are displayed.

Books and souvenirs are available for sale.
