About :
In 1905, the Tranvía Oriental company, which until then was a horse-drawn tram company in Montevideo, ordered the American company “The St. Louis Car Company” to manufacture 80 electric trams in the United States for the future electric tram system in Montevideo. Between 1905 and 1906, the Tranvía Oriental company was bought by a German investment group, which had also bought the Tranvía company at Paso Molino y Cerro in order to merge and electrify them, thus creating the future electric tram company known as “La Transatlántica” - Compañía de Tranvías Eléctricos. Since the purchase of the Oriental tram occurred with the order of the 80 trams already made, the new company La Transatlántica, encountered a problem, since, although the Oriental Tram had requested the trams, it had not even begun the plan of how it was going to generate the necessary electric energy to make them work, and the new company already had a project for a Power Plant made, but it was not designed to support such a large infrastructure. For this reason, the new company was forced to import from Argentina some Diesel generating equipment, which consumed oil, as a provisional solution, for the generation of energy. La Transatlántica began its operations in Montevideo, on June 1, 1907 with the inauguration of Tram Line 1 that linked the Montevideo Customs with Paso Molino. This line began to be operated by German trams built by the firm Waggonfabrik Falkenried in 1906, which were bogie trams, which the company had acquired to begin operating in Uruguay, but, on May 19, 1907, they had received the 70 new two-axle electric trams, which arrived already fully assembled, but not from Europe, but from the American city of New York, manufactured by the American firm "The St. Louis Car Company", model N°46, equipped with two-axle and 4-wheel trucks, double row of seats, for 32 passengers, being numbered between number N°81 and 150, having traction motors and General Electric controls, using the former horse-drawn company known as Tranvía Oriental to electrify with them.
