Car 111 most likely is a spare tram, parked in the middle of the intersection on the segment of the junction that is not used in regular service.

It's too long ago for me to remember how this system worked and what that particular tram was or not doing there.
A photo shows a regular tram on this route (line 100).

Car 118 operating on route 100 shown via your link, will go behind parked car 111 in this photo, and will continue to the left beyond the frame of this photo. It will then circle around the Gara terminus loop in the counterclockwise direction (behind the photographer's back), and will re-appear again from the right in this photo. It will then make a right turn, and will continue via route 100 to the city center, the same as car 104 in this photo.

Trams on route 101 and 104 circle around the Gara terminus in the clockwise direction, and therefore will appear on the left in this photo, make a right turn via the curve closest to the viewer, and will continue to the right beyond the frame of this photo.

This way the parked car 111 will never be in the way of regular service trams. Most likely it is an active spare, left here to mitigate service if needed. Or, of course, it could be a broken down car, which was able to make it into an unused section track.

The use of the busy Gara terminus loop in both direction of travel was a brilliant solution meant to mitigate capacity issues and vehicles throughput at this busy loop, served by routes 100, 101 and 104.

Перевод: Вагон 118, следующий по маршруту 100 на фото по Вашей ссылке, проедет за припаркованным вагоном 111 на этой фотографии, и продолжит движение влево за рамку этой фотографии. Затем вагон объедет конечную петлю Gara против часовой стрелки (за спиной фотографа), и снова появится на этой фотографии, уже справа. Затем вагон повернет направо, и продолжит движение по маршруту 100 до центра города, как и вагон 104 на этой фотографии.

Трамваи маршрутов 101 и 104 объезжают кольцу Gara по часовой стрелке и, следовательно, на этой фотографии появятся слева, сделают поворот направо по ближайшей к зрителю кривой, и продолжат движение вправо за кадр этой фотографии.

Таким образом, припаркованный вагон 111 никогда не будет мешать маршрутным трамваям. Вероятно это активный резерв, оставленный здесь для заполнения пробела в обороте в случае необходимости. Или, конечно же, это мог быть сломанный вагон, который смог дотянуть до неиспользуемого участка пути.

Эксплуатация загруженного кольца Gara для оборота в двух направлениях движения было гениальным решением, призванным облегчить пропускную способность на этой загруженной конечной, обслуживаемой маршрутами 100, 101 и 104.
