yep seen it a couple of times. But something I had never noticed
before at about 49 seconds in is the spark from the wheel of the the
leading truck as they push back. I doubt if it is current returning
through all the couplings and wagons,more likely the weight of the
wagon is closing a connection between the rail ends.

That's very interesting, for I had no idea that there was any sort of
electric propulsion systems on rails in Albania.

I have heard rumours in the past, however, that there are plans to build
a light rail in Tirana.

Anyway, if anybody is interested, I found HSH's official website.
