See the conductor wire hanging from a long Pantograph at the back of the Tram. Also notice the tiny Tail-Light. Its really amazing to see that perhaps with little or no maintenance the Tramways vehicle is still surviving.

Though part of the Kolkatta Tramways however not sure what this vehicle must be used for? I guess its some maintenance vehicle used by the Tramways. I couldnt verify what exact is in the middle of the vehicle.
Kolkatta members please help.
