Halifax has a rich street railway history that played a pivotal role in the development of the city. In 1896, the horse-drawn tram system was converted to electrical trams. In the peak years of the Second World War, the Halifax streetcar system ran 86 trams on 27 miles of track, carrying 31 million passengers per year.
