The Terminus of the Opicina Tramway

This postcard shows the terminus of the Opicina tramway, marked by the sign 'Električni Kolodvor', the electric station. A tram car stops along the dirt road while two uniformed men pose in the foreground. Opened in 1902, the line connected Trieste to the Karst plateau, climbing steep gradients. The colorized image captures the atmosphere of early twentieth century Villa Opicina.
