The trains in question were initially delivered to the Shevchenko Depot and used on Routes 9, 10, 23. When the Darnitsa Depot opened in 1959, some of the trains were transferred there and were thus in service in the left bank. The advent of the more modern four-axle MTVs and especially the beginning of mass deliveries of the Tatras let Kiev launch the program of rolling stock modernization, whereby all the two-axle cars were either scrapped or sent over to other cities. That was the fate of the KTMs, too; the last ones were transferred to Dnepropetrovsk, Krivoy Rog, Mariupol, Nikolaev in 1966. Since then, no two-axle passenger tram car, nor any Ust-Katav model, was ever purchased by Kiev.

502 102		The long Route 23, from the downtown area to the suburb of Svyatoshin, was, for a period of time, served by KTMs belonging to the Shevchenko Depot. This train is leaving the outer terminus of that route and heading east, along Brest-Litovsky Prospekt and towards Bessarabka. An MTV-82 stands in the turning loop. [Raymond De Groote, Jr., 12.07.1959]
503 103		That would be a risky shot if the car were moving... Apart from the route sign, the color lenses, which were in use in the 1950-60s and helped identify the route in darkness, are clearly visible. [Lukyanovka Depot Museum]
506 106		Trains of this type also served the first postwar trans-Dnieper route, 28, from Podol to Darnitsa on the left bank. The setting for this picture is likely the DShK (Darnitsky Shelkovy Kombinat, or Darnitsa Silk Factory) terminus, which still exists today, known as Metro Lesnaya. [Wolfgang Schreiner, 1959]
509 109		A rear view of the trailer, on the same Route 28. [Kiev Electric Transportation Museum]
510 110		Before crossing the river, Route 28 ran on a long and almost straight stretch along Naberezhnoe Shosse (Embankment Highway). A glimpse of how this place looked before can still be caught in the left part of the picture — a path through high grass. The only other sign of civilization, apart from the tram line and the roadway, is a truck with a trailer carrying a load of wood... [Raymond De Groote, Jr., 11.07.1959]
515 115		Another central route served by KTM+KTP trains was Route 9. When this picture was taken, it ran from from Podol via downtown towards Zavod Dzerzhinskogo (nowadays Metro Lybedskaya); later on, its southern terminus was changed to Stalinka (Demievka). This picture is most probably taken at the depot. Note the state emblem of the USSR on the side of the car. [Kiev Electric Transportation Museum, 1950's]
519 119		The more "civilized" part of Naberezhnoe Shosse was its northern piece, closer to Podol. This picture is taken from an approach to the freshly-build Peshehodny Most (Pedestrian Bridge). On the horizon one can see the southern part of Podol, with Rechnoy Vokzal (the river boat station) and the tall building which is Brodsky's Mill, next to Pochtovaya Ploschad. [Raymond De Groote, Jr., 11.07.1959]
523 123		The switch in the foreground is the old junction at Pochtovaya Ploschad. The train is about to turn left (as it goes) and start the Naberezhnoe Shosse portion of the journey on Route 28; the line going straight leads to Vladimirsky Spusk (formerly known as Aleksandrovsky Spusk), where electric trams first started running in 1892. Nowadays, the single remaining line is closer to the Dnieper (with respect to this picture, much further right). [Kiev Electric Transportation Museum, 1960's]
534 134		The photographer's target here was, obviously, the brand-new Skoda 8Tr trolleybus, but the tram just happened to be nearby. The spot is the Ulitsa Kominterna, just short of Zhadanovskogo (Zhilyanskaya). The trolleybus is about to proceed straight towards Vokzal, whereas the tram will turn right to Ploschad Pobedy and Brest-Litovsky Prospekt. [Wolfgang Schreiner, 06.1961]
546 146		Route 10, from Vokzal to Stalinka (Demievka) was yet another one to have seen the KTM+KTP trains. This is probably at the old Shevchenko tram depot. [Kiev Electric Transportation Museum, 1950's]
553 153		Saksaganskogo, between Kominterna and Tolstogo, Route 9 towards Zavod Dzerzhinskogo. A whole string of trams is waiting behind... This place looks almost the same nowadays, except, of course, for the absence of the tram line. [Raymond De Groote, Jr., 12.07.1959]
559 159		Route 9, Podol-bound, on Kominterna. This is just a few dozen meters short of the spot where the 534 picture was taken (and viewed from the opposite side of the street). Again, all the buildings in the picture stand intact today. [Wolfgang Schreiner, 1960's]
5xx 1xx		Route 23 on Brest-Litovsky Prospekt. The train is about to dive under the freshly-build viaduct under another pair of tram tracks and a railway line (no longer existing). Nowadays, the Beresteyskaya metro station is here, but the area is still sometimes informally referred to as Zheleznodorozhnoye Peresechenie, which means "railway crossing". [M. Selyuchenko, 1962]
5xx 1xx		Once again, route 23, on an S-curve that used to connect what is presently the speed tram line, on Borschagovskaya, with Brest-Litovsky Prospekt. The curve came into being in 1959, after a major track realignment project in this area was completed, and existed until 1978, when tram service on the eastern part of Brest-Litovsky Prospekt, and Route 23 with it, were discontinued. [Kiev Electric Transportation Museum, 1960's]
