Up until 1962, Footscray and some of the surrounding suburbs had their own independent tram network, radiating outwards from Footscray Station. However, due to financial issues, the network never grew to its originally proposed size, and two of the 5 proposed routes were never built. This map shows the originally proposed routes in gray, and the routes that were actually constructed are coloured and have accurate numerical designations (57-60). Route 82 is included as well, which is the last remnant of the former Footscray tramways. Two routes designed to serve munitions and explosive factories during the war are also included. One of these is a former siding for the Ordnance Factory, which was later connected to the Ammunitions Factory route via Williamson Rd and a section of reserved track that runs parallel to Rosamond Rd and River St, which formed route 82. It's because of this that a section of route 82 runs along reserved track behind a bunch of apartment buildings rather than running along the adjacent Wests Rd
