''Tramways and Light Railways of Switzerland and Austria'' (2nd edition), p. 129. Gloucester, UK: Light Rail Transit Association. ISBN 0-948106-27-1.〕 It is operated by Stern & Hafferl,〔 which was founded in 1893. The tramway was opened on 13 August 1894. It is 2.3 km long.〔 The line's maximum gradient of 9.6% makes it one of the world's steepest surviving adhesion-only tram lines.〔Taplin, Michael; and Russell, Michael (2002). ''Trams in Western Europe'', p. 8. Harrow Weald, Middlesex (UK): Capital Transport Publishing. ISBN 1-85414-265-8.〕 ==History== The works, directed by the engineers Josef Stern and Franz Hafferl, began on 25 February 1894. It took five months to build the entire tramway, one depot, one power plant and two buildings for employees. The original route ran from the railway station (named ''Rudolfsbahnhof'' at that time) to "Rathausplatz" (i.e. ''Town Hall Square''). In 1975 the route was shortened to Franz-Josef-Platz.〔 (Historical overview of Gmunden Tramway (Stern & Hafferl website) )〕 There were several renovations in the late 90's and the following decade, including the renewal of "Keramik" station and of the Tennisplatz - Franz-Josef-Platz route.〔 (History of Gmunden Tramway ) (10 pages)〕 In February 2013, the municipal council of Gmunden decided to link the tram to the Traunseebahn at Gmunden Seebahnhof terminal station. The trams will in future also reach Vorchdorf〔 ("Gmunden lässt Straßenbahn bis Vorchdorf fahren" (Gmunden can take tram to Vorchdorf) ).
