1541Looking at this picture, it is hard to tell that this is all but downtown Kiev; true, it is almost forty years old... The place is Korolenkovskaya, near the former Shevchenko tram depot. The tram is bound for Goloseevskaya Ploschad.
[Hans Oerlemans, 1970]
1543A winter setting at the corner of Saksaganskogo and Vladimirskaya. The tram on route 9 is turning into a rather steep descent, which was the reason that all passenger tram traffic stopped here in 1997. In the background, on the left, is the Kooperator hotel.
[Michael Taplin, 01.1976]
1544Another picture next to the former Shevchenko depot, at the corner of Korolenkovskaya and Dimitrova. A KTV-55-2 double-ended car is visible behind the fence.
[Aare Olander, 10.06.1981]
1545The tram is approaching Moskovskaya Ploschad, having departed from the Goloseevskaya Ploschad terminus. As part of the "tidying-up" in preparation for the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow, this piece of the line would be eliminated, the route being cut back to Moskovskaya Ploschad.
[Anatoly Vilkovich, 1979]
1546Brest-Litovsky Prospekt between Vozduhoflotsky Most and Polytehnichesky Institut, near the Voentorg department store. Once again, note how narrow this present-day expressway used to be and how much space was reserved for the tram line.
[Anatoly Vilkovich, 1978]
1550A unique picture (alas, of much less than the best quality) of a tram on route 30, entering the Pechersky Most loop. The latter was replaced with a stub track back in 1967. In the background is the territory of the Suvorov military school.
[Kiev Electric Transportation Museum, 1960's]
1551A string of trams laying over on a service track by the fence of the Lukyanovka depot. One still sees quite a few MTVs in service, although their epoch is rolling to an end...
[Aare Olander, 11.06.1981]
1555A tram in a special anniversary livery at the Goloseevskaya Ploschad loop. Around the year 1967, the 75th anniversary, apparently all tram rolling stock in Kiev was repainted.
[Kiev Electric Transportation Museum, 1967]
1558A private right-of-way behind the present-day Kievskaya Rus cinema theatre, between Lukyanovskaya Ploschad and Ulitsa Kosiora (Chornovola). This view has changed rather little as of today.
[Michael Taplin, 11.09.1978]
