In its rich 140-year-old heritage since its inception from February 1873, the tram has come a long way and has witnessed innumerable changes, and in the process, has transformed itself from the horse-drawn carriages of the late 19th century, to the steam-driven cars, and finally into the present form-the electric driven ones. The first electric tramcar in Asia ran in 1902, from Esplanade to Kidderpore on March 27 and on June 14 from Esplanade to Kalighat, which made Kolkata the first city in India as well to boast of such mode of transport. This photo illustrates the oldest form of Electric Tram Car which used to ply the streets of Kolkata, post 1902. There are many such photos shown as exhibits inside the museum.
