The tramline in this street was opened in 1927, simultaneously with the opening of the Oktyabrskoe
depot. Many people use this line nowadays, for there are schools, colleges, research institutes and markets in this district.
There WAS also one of the Moscow places of interest - the Ptichiy Rynok ("The Birds Market"), where one could buy or sell
cats, dogs, fishes and everything of this sort... (P.S. This market was officially closed in 2001, and police was used to force
sellers and buyers to move from this place. This action had contradictory opinions in mass media).
This route 35 tram turns to Bolshaya Kalitnikovskaya from the Skotoprogonnaya
Street, moving from the Novokonnaya Square.
