It may come as a surprise to many that some tramways of the United States have evaded documentation. One of the least known electric systems outside the continental United States was also the west-most tramway in the Philippines. On the small island of Corregidor at the entrance of Manila Bay was located a strategic defence post of the U.S. Forces, known as 'Fort Mills'. In 1907, the US Congress authorized the construction of a tramway to service the island batteries with foodstuffs and munitions, and to provide a means of internal communication. The tramway linked the north and south docks with the various batteries on high ground facing westwards to the open sea, and most of the system was opened in 1910. More
