<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tramways & Urban Transit (1/2001) has revealed
a new reason to fix up old tracks - Calcutta is reported to be ready to re-do 24
kilometers of the 68-km system improving safety (no, really?) and "eliminating
breeding crevices for mosquito larvae to combat malaria." Now, aren't you
all glad that you live in a moderate climate (and I include Melbourne in that,
even if it is the hot season)! I've seen video of Calcutta's rails - the
Russians are well kept up by comparison.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
