A horse tramway was opened at Shenyang in 1907. The Japanese - who operated the railways - started electrification in March 1924 even before the creation of the Manchukuo puppet state, and finally the electric tramway opened in October 1925 from Huaiyangmen via Taiqinggong to Xiaoxibianmen.[2] In November 1925, the section between Xiaoxibianmen to Xita started operating. In 1926 Sino-Japanese joint venture opened a tramway, starting at Mukden Railway Station to Xiaoxibianmen.[3] From 1920s to 1945 a total of six tram routes was put into operation in Shenyang.

The Chinese Civil War and Second Sino-Japanese War had great impact to tramway operations with power shortages and bombing causing the tram service to be suspended numerous times. By December 12, 1948, all six routes were fully rebuilt.[4] After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Shenyang had 170 tramcars, making it the largest in the country. The number of private cars greatly increased leading to major traffic congestion and delays to tram services. With the emergence of the first trolleybus line in Shenyang, the development of the tram gradually gave way to the trolleybus. On August 1, 1974, the last tram lines from Shenyang Railway Station to Taiqinggong were removed.[5]
