O WOww Just now I was discussing about Metre Gauge DC EMUs... Thanks a ton David for this wonderful and lovely stuff. This is not a tram, but EMU on a level crossing.

Bombay Calcutta Mail, Bengal Nagpore Railway, 1917 AD.
Looks like Darekasa - Salekasa Ghat section. Presently freighters are assigned with bankers in this section.

I thinks that this photo should be moved to FIRST CLASS or to heritage part of the Gallery.

For Uttam - a correction regarding directions. This is the view facing Mumbai, which is to the west. The MG lines are on right which is to the North.

I could not comment on the other photograph which David referred to (http://www.irfca.org/gallery/Heritage/pune10.jpg.html) so I am putting up the answer here.

The layout of Pune when it had Metre Gauge connection was that the Metre Gauge tracks were on the Eastern Side while Broad Gauge were on the West.

So this picture (as also the other pic) was taken facing Northwards.

On the extreme right side, one can see the old Metre Gauge Tracks which connected to Miraj and thence to Bangalore via Hubli.
