As an addendum to my below post, here is a link to a page with a map of inner-city routes and photographs of the old steam trains. Those times must have been smelly, noisy, and inconvenient; I remember reading memories of a woman who lived before the invention of automobiles and her reaction to the loss of those bygone days, and she remarked, “Frankly, the world smelt of horses.” Also, notice the kanji for “Kenchomae” - 縣廳前! Be thankful for simplified kanji.　　http://tram.2-d.jp/kt/history/h0/sogyomae.htm
