2 october 2008 - Timisoara, Romania – Piata Libertatil. Possibly the oldest vehicle ever shown on Phototrans (unless you know better……). Timisoara was the first city in the whole of Europe to have streets lit by electricity, and only the second to introduce horse trams (1867). This tram on display in the city centre is claimed to date from 1869, although I wonder how much original construction remains – today’s fleet number certainly isn’t original!

What's the root of this information? The first horse trams introduced (in Europe) in Paris in 1855. The second was Berlin (1865) and the third was... Warsaw (1866)

Hi Lipton - Wikipedia says this.....and it is also claimed by the city authorities.
We had horse trams in Copenhagen from 1863
