What type of technology was used to power the Peak Tram in its early years?

Detailed answer

In its early years, the Peak Tram was powered by steam engines, which were fueled by coal. The steam engines were used to haul the tram cars up the steep incline of the track, while a system of brakes and pulleys was used to control the descent. The use of steam power allowed the tram to operate reliably and efficiently, but it was eventually replaced by more modern technology in the 1920s.
