A tramline in Dubininskaya Street and Danilovskiy Val Street was constructed in 1950 as an replacement for the closed line in Bolshaya Serpukhovskaya Street. A large stretch of the line goes along unpleasant industrial districts, though there are also beautiful views here - there is a very nice St. Daniel Monastery a little further in Danilovskiy Val, and modern buildings are step by step replacing the old industrial landscape. The only thing I miss is a cobblestone-paved road in Dubininskaya Street, covered with asphalt a more than decade ago...

	This is Zatsepa Square. The tracks to the left lead to Novokuznetskaya Street, and right turns a line to Novospasskiy Bridge; that line was put in service again on October 27, 2000 after reconstruction of Novospasskiy Bridge across Moskva river. July 27, 2000.
	Dubininskaya Street. A mixture of styles and times - from a XVIII century mansion to a modern tower of 2000. Higher and higher... July 27, 2000.
	Decades ago, Dubininskaya Street had a number of railway level crossings, but now just one of them is still in use; and another one is still in the street, but railway tracks have been cut off. July 27, 2000.
	Dim rays of the winter sun make their way through the clouds while this tram approaches the end of Danilovskaya Street at its crossing with Danilovskiy Val, where the gloomy industrial landscape almost unexpectedly changes to solemn mediaeval walls of St. Daniel monastery. December 31, 2002.
