The cable tram ran along Toorak Road, Toorak until 1926. The terminus was just near Irving Road in Toorak.The Toorak line opened on 15 February 1889, and ran between Toorak and City (Swanston Street). The initial city terminus was at Flinders Street, but this was extended northwards towards Queensberry Street on 20 January 1889. The line was truncated from Queensberry Street to Lonsdale Street on 11 February 1924 to allow the electric trams from the North to terminate in the city. The line was truncated to City Road on 26 December 1925, when the Swanston Street line was closed for electrification. The line was further truncated back to Domain Road on 12 January 1926, when the St Kilda Road line was being converted to electric traction. The rest of the line was finally closed on 1 October 1926. Both the car shed and the powerhouse were located on the north-west corner of Toorak Road and Chapel Street. (Wikipedia)#stonningtonhistory #cabletram #tram#toorak ... See MoreSee Less
