Error re. electric trams in Vilnius.
"Vilnius, however, briefly had electric tramway between 1924 and 1926."

This statement is not correct - and is not supported by the cited reference.

The 1924-1926 operation used old horse trams fitted with diesel engines. 90.190.248.95 (talk) 17:44, 4 July 2022 (UTC)


 * From the reference : Self-propelled tram was indeed operating in Vilnius, but only on one line "Cathedral Square - Antakalnis (Smėlynė)" and it operated only in 1924-1926. It was launched by Pigutkovskis, an engineer from Vilnius and a member of the Vilnius city magistrate, who installed old diesel engines into the carriages of former wagonways. (my translation of the original: "Vilniuje iš tiesų veikė ir savaeigis tramvajus, bet tik vienoje linijoje „Katedros aikštė – Antakalnis (Smėlynė)“ ir veikė tik 1924-1926 metais. Jį paleido vilnietis inžinierius ir Vilniaus miesto magistrato narys Pigutkovskis, keliuose buvusių konkių vagonuose įrengęs senus dyzelinius vidaus degimo variklius.")
 * I fixed the statement that it was a diesel tramway (as opposed to electric) and clarified that there was a single line. Nevertheless, there was a tram. -- Mindaur (talk) 09:52, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
