Kolkata Tram - 279 --- Another Burn Standard captured in its original CTC livery (other one is # 236) !!! In the year 2012, CTC introduced two Ladies special trams in the city - # 279 & # 657. A refurbished Burn Standard tramcar of Gariahat depot (# 279 in the photo above) was re-introduced into normal passenger service commemorating 145th Birth anniversary of Sister Nivedita - the great educationist & pioneer in women education in India. The special thing about these tramcars are, the first compartments are reserved for Ladies whereas second coach is common for all passengers. Spotted while it was entering Esplanade junction serving Route # 25 to BBD Bag from Gariahat. Photographed by Roy on 31st July 2012.
