A Lisbon tram abandoned for decades in Serra da Boa Viagem, in Figueira da Foz, has become an unlikely attraction that draws curious visitors and railway history enthusiasts. The electric van, which once served as a means of transportation in the Portuguese capital, has been parked for years in that area of Serra da Boa Viagem, slowly transforming into a point of tourist interest and a reminder of the past of public transportation in Portugal.

The phenomenon, known as superfetation, occurred when the woman became pregnant naturally while already carrying an embryo conceived through IVF.
