==Light rail== {{see also|Public transport in Tallinn}} [[File:Train in Tallinn 2006.jpg|thumb|Train in Tallinn in 2006]] There has been a growing tram network in [[Tallinn]], [[Estonia]] since 1888, when traffic was started by horse-powered trams. The first line was electrified on October 28, 1925. The first electric trams were built by Dvigatel, Ltd., in Tallinn before [[World War II]] and for some years after that, the last one in 1954. In the 1920s and 1930s gas-powered trams were also used. Since 1955 to 1988 [[Germany|German]]-built trams were used. In total, there were 20 LOWA T54-B54 trams (in use from February 1955 to March 1977), 11 Gotha T57-B57 (in use from January 1958 to June 1978), 5 Gotha T59E-B59E (in use from June 1960 to February 1980), 14 Gotha T2-62 and B2-62 (in use from 1962 to 1981) and 50 Gotha G4 trams (in use from January 1965 to October 1988) trams. The first [[Czechoslovakia]]n-built [[ČKD Tatra]] T4SU arrived in 1973. The T4SU trams were in use from May 1973 to September 2005 and there were 60 of them. The first [[Tatra KT4|KT4SU]] arrived in Tallinn in 1981 and was first in use on March 10, 1981. In 2007, there are 56 KT4SU, 12 [[Tatra KTNF6|KTNF6]] (rebuilt KT4SUs, 10 local, one from [[Gera]] and one from [[Erfurt]]) and 23 KT4D (12 from Gera, 6 from [[Cottbus]], 1 from [[Frankfurt (Oder)]] and 5 from Erfurt) in use. As of 2018, there are four lines: 1 ([[Kopli]]-[[Kadriorg]]), 2 (Kopli-[[Ülemiste (subdistrict)|Ülemiste]]), 3 ([[Tondi, Tallinn|Tondi]]-Kadriorg) and 4 (Tondi-[[Tallinn Airport|Lennujaam (Airport)]]). There have also been lines 5 (Kopli-[[Vana-Lõuna Street|Vana-Lõuna]], shut down in 2004 because of small usage) and 6 (Kopli-Tondi, temporarily used in time of repairs).
