context_section_description: There is a variety of rolling stock currently in use on the tramway.
  The two grip cars operated by Portland Cable Trams are copies of Melbourne cable trams which ran from 1885 to 1940, constructed to the specifications of that period. They were built from scratch under the auspices of Keith McMillan, and are exact replicas, apart from the diesel engines that they use in place of the cable system. That method of propulsion was chosen because it would be virtually impossible to build the complicated underground cable network which originally pulled cable trams along.
  The two saloon cars in service at Portland did run on the Melbourne system during its heyday. After the electrification of the network, the outdated cable tram cars were sold off. Saloon Car No. 95 initially entered service in November 1886 and was used on the Victoria Street route, running via Collins Street. The Portland Cable Tram organisation salvaged that car from Newton Williams in Swan Hill and restored it to service in February 2002.
  Saloon Car No. 171 was originally built in 1886 and used on the Clifton Hill line until 1928, when it was sold and transported to Mount Macedon. The car was bought by Daryl and Julie Hawksworth in 1974, and in 1980, it was transported to the town of Blampied, Victoria, for restoration. No. 171 is on permanent loan to Portland Cable Trams from the Hawksworths, who had restored it to commemorate the 100th anniversary of cable trams commencing operation in Melbourne. Since its repair in 1985, the saloon car has operated at Lake Goldsmith, Bendigo, Melbourne and Kilmore in Victoria, as well as Wollongong and Loftus in New South Wales.
