It was not only Bengal's battle of Plassey
which jerked the whole nation but also it was the Tram which
made the Kolkatans dumbfounded.Ever since the first Horse
drawn Tram carriages hit the rails,a new era of history was
created.Amidst lot of hurdles,barriers,& setbacks,this tireless
gentleman has stood firmly tall witnessing the golden decades
of our history through its wheels.Infact Tram can be considered
as one aspect which gives the city a charm of publicity.Series
of transformations & renovations from horses to electricity
has never deprived the Tram of its luxorious,easy going lifestyle
profitably status.Tied with an ecofriendly tag ,Tram has never
seemed shabby & sluggish meandering smoothly through the lush
greens,madding crowds & the jammed traffics.Kolkatan Tram
has unheralded a new chapter in the transport sector where
the euphoria of the younger ones has changed to aversion and
ridicule as he grew up older.
Although
Kolkatan tram has entered into its 3rd century,yet it has
been able to maintain its much touted hype,sheer & still attracts
people to have a smooth silk glide on it's carriages.Tramcars
evoke poetry which often remains incomprehensible in words.
Really
indeed, Tram lends Kolkata an old world charm and add to the
romantic element to the city.This slow moving ,electrical
reptile in narrow and crowded streets completes the ultimate
attraction of the city .Having glided down the rails as a
historian witness,Tram has itself been turned into an immemorial
heritage for which the whole Kolkatans will be proud of.
