1101 |  | At the Vokzal (railway station) loop, on route 6.
Visible on the left in the background is the front of an MTB-82 trolleybus;
behind the tram is a water-cooling tower, which existed until rather recently,
of a heat power plant No. 3.

1102 |  | At the Ploschad Bogdana Khmelnitskogo loop.
Trams have a little over two month to run.
They are to be replaced with trolleybuses, which will be
removed, too, when time comes... [Raymond De Groote, Jr., 11.07.1959] |

1103 |  | A rare shot of a prewar car with one headlight,
before the refurbishment. The spot is the old around-the-block turning loop
at Zavod Dzerzhinskogo; this is Ulitsa Zagorodnaya (Lyubchenko), short of the
intersection with Gorkogo.
This track was still in existence rather recently: a right turn led
to Ploschad Dzerzhinskogo. The tram, on the contrary, is about to turn left
and to complete the loop.

1104 |  | It is easy to recognize the intersection of Vladimirskaya
and Bulvar Shevchenko, with the building of Centralna Rada, later Lenin Museum,
presently Teacher's House in the background.
Also in the frame are the first Kiev-manufactured "push-pull" tram 2001,
two MTVs, a Pobeda and a brand-new UAZ pickup. [State Photo Archive of Ukraine, 04.1956] |

1105 |  | On the same street, a block behind;
the square in front of the Opera house has hardly changed since then,
except that the tram tracks are no longer present. [Raymond De Groote, Jr., 12.07.1959] |
|
1106 |  | Near the red University building on Vladimirskaya.
The tram, bound for Ploschad Bogdana Khmelnitskogo, meets
a lonely BMW. Chestnuts are blossoming in Kiev... [Kiev Electric Transportation Museum, 05.1949] |
|
1107 |  | The Stalinka (Goloseevskaya Ploschad) terminus.
The appearance is still rather country-like...
When tram tracks become a nuisance for the city, they will of course be removed.
But that will only happen twenty years later. [Raymond De Groote, Jr., 11.07.1959] |
        |
1108 |  | Vladimirskaya again, at the intersection with
Lenina (Bogdana Khmelnitskogo).
The tram discharges passengers right in the intersection!
The building in the background is the Conference Hall
of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. [State Photo Archive of Ukraine, 09.06.1957] |
|
1109 |  | The last tram of the series, brand new at
the Dzerzhinsky factory (or is this the Lukyanovka Depot?).
This specimen had two headlights from the outset. [Kiev Electric Transportation Museum, 1949] |
