    A steam tram used to arrive at the market. Such tramways – in fact “neighborhood railways” – are for the most part a typical example of the rise and fall of a technological application. They carried both goods and passengers and may have peaked in the 1930s.
    In Houtem, the tram was primarily at the service of the textile industry. For example, the Ghent-Herzele-Geraardsbergen tram line had a branch to the factory in the Edgard Tinelstraat. This line served on the one hand to supply the coal and raw materials and on the other hand to transport the finished products. The tram line ran a wide arc through the factory gate to end in the warehouses, now the entrance to the library.
