History
The G class trams were imported from the United States for the electrification of George Street. They were originally allocated to Ultimo Tram Depot, later moving to Newtown and Tempe. All were withdrawn by 1927.
As they only had driving controls at one end, they operated in pairs. Two (124 and 125) were fitted with dual controls to operate tourist services in 1905.
