1562 |  | The tram here is running at quite a decent speed:
it has just completed its rapid ascent up Vladimirskaya
and is turning into the flat terrain on Saksaganskogo,
almost without braking. There used to be a red light
for traffic in the opposite direction along Saksaganskogo,
activated by the tram — so that the latter would not be forced to
stop while going uphill. [Aare Olander, 25.06.1981] |
  |
1564 |  | Old houses and an old tram line
on Gogolevskaya, in the block between Bulvarno-Kudryavskaya
and Pavlovskaya. Trams ran here up until 1991. [Sergey Pirkovsky, 1970's] |
  |
1567 |  | Between Moskovkaya and Goloseevskaya squares,
closer to the latter. On the left, on the opposite side of
the avenue, is the polyclinics building.
The secondary roadway is completely empty... [Anatoly Vilkovich, 1979] |
|
1569 |  | The Gnata Yury station, a popular setting
for pictures. The train is serving route 18,
bound for Metro Zavod Bolshevik. [Hans Oerlemans, 10.09.1978] |
    |
1572 |  | Brest-Litovsky Prospekt, with
Vozduhoflotsky Most (bridge) in the background.
Three classical vehicles of the epoch are in this picture:
the MTV-82, a train of two 9Tr trolleybuses and an Ikarus 260 bus.
Only trolleybuses have survived to this day. [Anatoly Vilkovich, 1978] |
|
1574 |  | With Mr Lenin and the obligatory
SLAVA KPSS (Long Live the CPSU) slogan.
At least neither of these Soviet attributes prevent the trams
from exercising their everyday functions. [Lukyanovka Depot Museum, 1970's] |
|
1578 |  | Undergoing repair in the
Lukyanovka Depot workshop.
This time, the slogan in the background is telling
something about production and enthusiasm of the workers... [Lukyanovka Depot Museum, 1970's] |
|
1579 |  | Lukyanovskaya Ploschad, near the depot
by the same name. As many as three trams are maneuvering,
pulling in or out. 1579 is on route 15, bound for Otradny. [Aare Olander, 27.06.1981] |
