On 19 July 1911, the Arrabassada tram line was inaugurated, responding to the need to create easy communication between the city and the luxurious hotel-casino and amusement park of Arrabassada (or La Rabassada), now gone, in the vicinity of Tibidabo (Serra de Collserola), inaugurated on 15 July 1911. Initially the line, which started from Plaza de Catalunya, operated with four trams rented from the French city of Marseille. In the image, one of them (A4). The line was in service until the end of 1938.
