Old Cleveland Road Tramway Tracks, Heritage tramway tracks in Camp Hill and Carina, Australia.
The Old Cleveland Road Tramway Tracks are streetcar rails in the suburbs of Camp Hill and Carina, running about 625 meters in length. The double lines are set into concrete and bordered by grassed areas.
The tracks were built in 1948 to replace the older Belmont Tramway system that had been running since 1912. Construction marked the shift to a more modern transit system in Brisbane.
The tracks mark how the city expanded after World War II and connected new housing areas to the center. People use the area today as a walking route and neighborhood meeting point.
The visible track sections stretch between Jones Road and Orwell Street and are easily accessible on foot. Parking areas are available near the Jones Road intersection for visitors arriving by car.
The 1948 extension ran 1,550 metres from Bruce Street to Mayfield Road, and 664 metres of it reused the roadbed of the former Belmont Tramway between Orwell Street and Mayfield Road. The rails are standard gauge, 1,435 mm, laid on steel sleepers in mass concrete.
