The Sodor Tramways had a fleet of steam trams that used to work on its line. They resided at the Great Waterton Tram Shed.
Biography
In earlier years, the tram engines served Great Waterton and other nearby villages. However, as road traffic increased, traffic on the Sodor Tramway decreased, and it was closed down. After the rediscovery of Great Waterton, Toby discovered the old sign from the tram shed and the Sodor Tramway Company was reopened[1]. Flora, a new steam tram, was then purchased to run the line[2].
No descriptions were given about these engines, about how many of them there were or what eventually happened to them. It is assumed they were scrapped, since prior to Flora's arrival, Toby was referred to being the only steam tram (and later the oldest) on Sodor.
