Full Description

The book is dedicated to the last operating tram in South Asia.
It covers the 152-year history of Kolkata's tram system. The development of the
network and descriptions of the lines in operation since 1998 can be traced
with the help of the route and track maps. Well over 200 images illustrate the
text. The book is complemented by a description of the operating facilities and
the development of the rolling stock. The book is bilingual in both English and
German.

This book is intended to inspire enthusiasm for this unique
tram system even though little remains. It contains the history of the tram in
Kolkata, detailed descriptions of the lines including track maps, descriptions
of the operating facilities, the development of the routes and the rolling
stock (as far as researchable). With the help of many detailed plans, I have
tried to illustrate the changes in the route network for readers who are not
familiar with the area.
