Hiroshima Electric Railway
On 6 August 1945, Hiroshima was devastated by the atomic bombing during World War II. The bombing resulted in the deaths of 185 employees of the local tramway company and caused damage or destruction to 108 out of its 123 trams. However, within just three days, the tramway system resumed operations. Remarkably, three trams that survived or were rebuilt after the bombing are still in operation even 75 years later..
