1261This is near the former backyards of the Evbaz (Jewish Market), between Ploschad Pobedy and Vozdokhoflotsky Most. Track from Bulvar Shevchenko has just been moved here. Nowadays, this is the beginning of the speed tram line to Borschagovka.

1266Brest-Litovsky Prospekt, near Ulitsa Nevskaya and a tram stop by the same name. The tram proceeds from Svyatoshin towards the Zavod Bolshevik loop.
[Anatoly Vilkovich, 1982]
1268At the pits of the Lukyanovka Depot, accompanied by three sister cars.

1270It is impossible nowadays to imagine a tram line diagonally crossing an expressway... Nevertheless, that is how things were here (Brest-Litovsky Prospekt and Polevaya) up until 1978. Such a configuration came into existence because a city tram line up to Polevaya ran on one side of the prospect, the Svyatoshino tram taking the other side. After they were united, the line got to cross the prospect.

1273A stretch of Ulitsa Frunze which we have already seen, north of Kirillovsky viaduct. The train serves route 12 to Puscha-Voditsa.

1274The background is the City Museum building and the present Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. No electric mass transit is available here today: trams were replaced with trolleybuses, which were then "temporarily" removed, forty years later. Hopefully not forever...

1275The Zavod Bolshevik loop, during the last year of the Brest-Litovsky Prospekt line.

1277Seemingly on the left bank, in Darnitsa. Or perhaps near Most Patona?
[Wolfgang Schreiner, 10.1959]
1279Most probably this is the triangle near the present-day Univermag Ukraina (we are looking west, towards what is nowadays the speed tram line). The construction in progress makes it plausible that the picture should be dated 1959, which is when a complete realignment of tram tracks in this area was carried out.
[Kiev Electric Transportation Museum, 1959]
1280The lower part of Ulitsa Kominterna, short of the left turn onto Zhilyanskaya. Route 2 has already been truncated to Lvovskaya Ploschad. This time, the Soviet slogan at the front informs the happy reader that the route is being served by a Comsomol-Youth Brigade.
[Wolfgang Schreiner, 06.1961]
