1221The circular route A used to run from Podol to Ploschad Pobedy, thence to Bessarabka and back to Podol via Pechersk. Seen here is a car running along Aleksandrovskaya (Sagajdachnogo) Ulitsa.

1223The post-WWII route 4 ran, for some years, from Ploschad Bogdana Khmelnitskogo to Kabelny Zavod. This car is captured in the Lukyanovka depot, which serviced that route.

1224A rare shot of route 8 on the Ulitsa Uritskogo line, single-track at the time. Visible in the background is the present-day Solomenskaya Ploschad, where the line used to end. In the downtown area, it ran all the way to Ploschad Bogdana Khmelnitskogo, which had a loop, and therefore it was serviced by single-ended cars. (After 1959, when it was cut back to the stub-ended terminus at Universitet, double-ended cars had to be used.)

1225On service pits of the Lukyanovka Depot. Routes 6, 8, 21...

1226Once again, the Vokzal (railway station) loop, with a view towards TEC-3, a heating and electric power plant. So many trams ran there at the time that it was a very simple task to picture a whole "convoy", consisting of different car types in different liveries.

1227An exit from the Lukyanovka Depot onto the square (Ploschad) of the same name. The train must be pulling in backwards or perhaps maneuvering, because if it were to leave the depot for its route 5, it would have to turn in the opposite direction.

1228Vladimirskaya Ulitsa, between Lenina (Bogdana Khmelnitskogo) and Bulvar Shevchenko. On the left are the Presidium of the Academy of Science buildings; on the right, Dom Uchitelya (Teachers House; at that time this was the Lenin Museum).

1229Brest-Litovsky Prospekt; the picture is taken from the viaduct near the Bolshevik Factory. The two-car train is on route 7, bound for Vokzal. Judging by the wire configuration, there existed a trolleybus right turn from Ulitsa Dovzhenko onto the Prospekt, with trolleybuses crossing the tram line.

1230The same spot viewed from the opposite direction; the tram is bound for the Otradny area, towards Kislorodny Zavod. Quite soon, someone will see a manifestation of Ukrainian nationalism in this livery (cf. the modern Ukrainian flag colors), and they will be repainted yellow-and-red in a matter of no time.
[Wolfgang Schreiner, 08.1973]
1231Another picture from the above-mentioned viaduct. In a few years there will be a tram turning loop behind the trees, for the routes connecting the Metro station with Borschagovka (where the speed tram line goes today).

1232Ulitsa Tolstogo, corner of Vetrova, route 8. Behind the photographer is the Botanical Garden and a steep ascent to Universitet. Down the block one can (barely) see a tram running along Saksaganskogo.

1235The Lukyanovka Depot, which bore the name of Mr Lenin at the time. Hence the portrait, which was supposed to be sacred to every Soviet man, and the slogan "Hail the CPSU [Communist Party of the Soviet Union]".
[Kiev Electric Transportation Museum, 1960's]
1236In the workshop of the same Lukyanovka Depot. The body of the tram is lifted, workers are messing with the bogies...

1237Up until 1959, route 2 ran from Vokzal to Ploschad Bogdana Khmelnitskogo. Here the tram has just turned from Vladimirskaya onto Yaroslavov Val, going towards Lvovskaya Ploschad. The deli store in the building on the left used to be known as Georgievsky Gastronom.
[State Photo Archive of Ukraine, 06.1956]
1238The loop around the Bogdan Khmelnitksy monument, with the old government offices bulding in the background. Once upon a time, trams served both diverging streets running away from the viewer.
