Re: Trams are people too

Wasn't it "The General" from North Fitzroy? Certainly wasn't at
Essendon where women bred and multiplied and took jobs from our sons -
but we have been down that path previously on TramsDownUnder.

Just to humanise this group a bit, who was the first female tram

driver?

I believe her name was Joan and she worked at Sth Melbourne depot.

Many said there was no way that a female tram driver could stop the
weight of a tram and how could she control such a big heavy thing.
She would have many accidents.

Personally when I started working on the trams I used to wonder how

a woman could drive such a big thing until I realised that you only
drive the front, the rest just follows behind.
