Flat Wagon Tram - 1 --- A prized catch !!! There are total of three Flat Wagon trams manufactured indigenously by Nonapukur Workshop of which two are from pre-independence era. These complete wooden-body trams are basically built upon single truck with only a drivers cab and the rest of the car was kept flat with low guard walls. These were actually coverted from the old SLC type, double wheeled tramcars fleet of CTC. These trams were used for carrying rails, ballasts, cements & other construction materials to various parts of the network across Kolkata. One can see that a flat wagon is also attached with the tram as well. All three of these very rare & unique machines were allotted to Rajabazar depot as this depot is not only important for trams, it also has the track maintenance PWD Department housed at the back of the depot. These trams were parked at the depot loop just beside the entrance literally under open sky without any plans of preservation/restoration of these marvels.
