*Barra do Piraí - Peschkes (Part 1, 1980, page 45) lists a tramway (using animal traction) in this town. Morrison (1989, page 120) states that an 1888 government report describes three concessions for tramway construction, and a 1922 publication includes two photographs showing track and overhead wire in streets. However, he adds that a visit to the city "failed to produce any information about the existence of a passenger tramway."
*Note for Mendes: Tramway extended from Humberto Antunes railway station. Electric traction (for goods) and petrol traction (for passengers), ca. 1912 - 1952. Unconnected line extended from Mendes railway station, horse traction, 1900 - 1932.
*Note for Niterói: Niterói tramway undertaking extended to São Gonçalo from 25 Aug 1910 (electric traction). São Gonçalo tramway absorbed by Niterói undertaking from 1921.
*Notes for Rio de Janeiro: Period of no tramway operation following closure of first line (to Tijuca, in 1866) and opening of the second line (to Largo do Machado) on 9 Oct 1868 (later extended to Jardim Botânico). Tijuca line reopened (by a new undertaking) on 19 Jan 1870. First tramway line in Zona Norte opened 29 Nov 1873.
**Experiments with accumulator (storage battery) traction on 2 Jul 1887 and 16 Jul 1887.
**Electric traction inaugurated in Zona Sul on 8 Oct 1892, and in Zona Norte on 1 Jul 1905. Last line in Zona Norte closed 21 May 1963. Only one line (in Zona Sul) remained in operation after 17 May 1965.
