If that was the last run of the steam tram it was on 3 July 1937. The tram ran from Kogarah to Sans Souci in Sydney, NSW. It was replaced (same day) by an electric trolly bus service from Rockdale. Amazing footage! (Note that another steam rail service named "Puffing Billy" still operates in Victoria.)
