| Abstract | Električni tramvaj u Dubrovniku povezivao je Dubrovnik s Gružem, koji tada nije bio sastavni dio grada. Prvi koraci poduzeti kako bi se ideja o tramvaju ostvarila, bila je izgradnja i početak rada elektrane u Dubrovniku, dana 1. lipnja 1901. godine. Potom je, 1905. godine, osnovan Odbor za gradnju električnog tramvaja. Postavljanje tračnica završeno je za 48 radnih dana, što je bilo za veliko oduševljenje. S prometovanjem se započelo 22. prosinca 1910. godine. Vozile su dvije linije tramvaja, a to su bile linija od Pila do kolodvora (željezničke stanice) te linija od Pila do Lapada. Ulaz putnika u tramvaj bio je na stražnjoj, a izlaz na prednjoj platformi, dok su u prikolicu putnici ulazili sa svih strana. Dubrovčanima je tramvaj bio jedan od simbola grada i definitivno nešto čega se građani s oduševljenjem prisjećaju, a pogotovo oni koji su imali priliku voziti se u njemu. Sama činjenica da je tramvaj vozio punih 60 godina predstavlja nešto veliko, a pogotovo i činjenice kroz što je sve, bilo dobro ili loše, tramvaj prošao za vrijeme svog dugog staža. Nažalost, zbog dotrajalosti i otkazivanja kočnica, 7. ožujka 1970. dogodila se prometna nesreća u kojoj su tramvajska kola s brojem 5 iskočila iz tračnica. Četrnaest ljudi bilo je ozlijeđeno, a je jedan putnik poginuo. Nesreća je definitivno bila okidač za ukidanje prometovanja tramvaja, što se i dogodilo 20. ožujka 1970. godine kada je tramvaj odradio svoju posljednju vožnju. Iako je posljedicom modernizacije, razvoja turizma i raznih drugih stvari tramvaj zauvijek otišao s dubrovačkih ulica, nikad neće otići iz sjećanja građana i prestati biti jednim od simbola grada Dubrovnika. |
| Abstract (english) | An electric tram in Dubrovnik connected Dubrovnik with Gruž, which was not an integral part of the city at the time. The first steps taken to realize the idea of a tram were the construction and start of operation of a power plant in Dubrovnik, on June 1, 1901. Then, in 1905, the Committee for the Construction of the Electric Tram was established. The installation of the rails was completed in 48 working days, which was a great delight. Traffic began on December 22, 1910. There were two tram lines, the line from Pile to the station (railway station) and the line from Pile to Lapad. Passengers entered the tram at the rear and exited at the front platform, while passengers entered the trailer from all sides. For the people from Dubrovnik, the tram was one of the symbols of the city and definitely something that the citizens remember with enthusiasm, especially those who had the opportunity to ride in it. The fact that the tram has been running for a full 60 years is something big, and especially the fact that everything, whether good or bad, the tram has gone through during its long service life. Unfortunately, due to wear and tear and brake failure, on March 7, 1970, a traffic accident occurred in which a No. 5 tram car derailed. Fourteen people were injured and one passenger was killed. The accident was definitely the trigger for the cessation of tram traffic, which happened on March 20, 1970, when the tram made its last run. Although as a result of modernization, development of tourism and various other things, the tram left the streets of Dubrovnik forever, it will never leave the memory of the citizens and cease to be one of the symbols of the city of Dubrovnik. |
