A Visual Guide to Moscow Tramways | << | >> |
A tramline along Lesnaya Street is of the same age as the electric tram of Moscow. It was constructed in 1899 and at first it was a single-track auxiliary line. In 1904 it was reconstructed for passenger service and operates since that time.
There is an oldest mass transit depot of Moscow - Miusskiy Park - in Lesnaya Street. There was a parking facility for horse-drawn cars here since 1874, then it was rebuilt for electric tramcars, and now it handles trolleybuses. The last tram came out of this depot on 11 November 1957.
