Dozens of onlookers lined George Street for a glimpse of the massive load which was reversed into Hay St and winched off the trailer onto the tracks. GEORGE Street was brought to a standstill as the first of Sydney's new trams was delivered in the early hours of the morning. The first of four used light-rail trams to arrive from Spain, with another six new ones on order, was meticulously moved into place in a two-hour operation commencing at 2am. It was towed in by an oversized Mack truck with a specially built trailer from Port Kembla where it was unloaded from a ship. Before a bevy of SLR-camera wielding transport geeks the tram was wheeled down George Street with a police escort as traffic in both directions was brought to a halt. Peter Stone from Wolli Creek, who drives buses up and down George Street, had his camera perched on a tripod to record the delivery. "I'm a transport enthusiast, I've come to document the newcomer," he said. Dozens of onlookers lined George Street for a glimpse of the massive load which was winched off the trailer in Hay St and placed on to the tracks. Jo, who didn't wish to give her surname, said she was most interested in coming to see the truck that it came in on. "I love the world and big stuff, I just like to see what's being made," she said. I'm more interested in the trucks though. The tram was backed into Hay Street where over a couple of hours it was unloaded onto a ramp to be slowly moved onto the tram tracks beside Haymarket. The trams will run on the new light-rail link extending from Lilyfield to Dulwich Hill due to open next year. By 4am Sydney's newest tram was on track to help get Sydney moving.
