Trams Painted by Artists

Travel with me across continents in trams painted by artists. Sometimes it’s sunny, other times rainy and stormy. We’ll freeze in the snow while queuing for the tram. We’ll hang onto the tram because we need to get there. But we’ll always look for a tram in the sunshine.

These are not high-resolution images. If you need a copy, please see the links in the complete list of trams painted by artists below the gallery.

Each tram painting in the list is linked to the corresponding image page on Wikimedia, where you can read the license and download copies at high resolution in a choice of sizes.

Click on or tap any image to cycle through the gallery. Most of these paintings are in landscape mode. If you are viewing on a mobile phone, you will get the best results by flipping your display to horizontal.
