The Sumqayit tramway was a tramway forming part of the public transport system in Sumqayit, the third most populous city in Azerbaijan, for more than 40 years in the second half of the 20th century. [1]
The tramway was opened on 11 March 1959, and was powered by electricity. It only ever consisted of one line, and was closed in July 2003. [1]
