Number 304 was one of the Auckland, New Zealand, Freight/Works trams which operated from 1913-1957. It was built in the Ponsonby Depot and commissioned on 1 August 1913. 304 was designed to carry rails for reconstruction and construction of the Auckland Tramway network. During peace celebrations in 1919 No. 304 carried a brass band up and down Queen Street. 10 December 1956 was Number 304's last journey into Central Auckland where it removed the remains of a damaged safety zone. It was the last tram to move under power on the original tram system in 1957 towing tram 248 now at Museum of Transport and Technology. Number 304's Blackwell trolley standard which the trolley pole's were attached to were removed in 1957. They were later sent to the Museum of Transport and Technology in Auckland where they were fitted to two trams when undergoing restoration (numbers 44 & 11) ==No. 304 in the early 1900s== Number 304 entered service in 1913. The New Zealand Herald stated "she is a travelling crane which will easily accommodate nine lengths of rail. It would take three carts to handle such a load". In 1917 a Ponsonby tram ran off the lines on the corner of Queen and Trafalgar Streets. No. 304 was sent to assist. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Auckland Tram Number 304」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
