Trams are still the main means of transportation, there are
hardly any cars. Two years later it will be decided that
trams "spoil" the appearance of the street, and by way of
a "beautification" they will be removed.
Let the unbiased viewer decide for himself whether or not the trams
are a nuisance here. [USSR Photo Archive, Krasnogorsk, 1932] |

1058 | | The loop of the old route 27 at GES-2,
near the Podol harbor. This tram line is long gone,
and in fact the surroundings have changed drastically;
not knowing where this loop was, one could hardly tell. [Raymond De Groote, Jr., 11.07.1959] |
