Let us look at Krasnopresnenskoye Depot. First - a look from outside.

The depot gates as seen from Vagankovskiy Bridge. This entrance has been built rather recently, only some years
ago, when nobody could imagine that one day the depot would cease to exist.

Another gates in Khodynskaya Street. There are two tracks outside the depot fence in the street, used for shunting
and night storage because the space in the depot is too limited to accomodate all vehicles.

More gates, this time - in 1st Zemelniy Pereulok. This line, while located outside the fence, is in fact "inner" -
trams can get here only from the depot, and all branches but one lead to the depot again.

An onramp used to load and unload trams to a special truck trailer. This facility became necessary to transfer trams
for heavy repairs to the Tram Repair Shop, because transportation by rails is impossible due to the "island" situation
of Krasnopresnenskoye Depot.

1st Zemelniy Pereulok. A Tatra T-3 tramcar is leaving the depot gates in the distance, while a tram-carrier trailer
is waiting by the onramp.

Tracks turn from 1st Zemelniy Pereulok to Khodynskaya St. The last two-car train is leaving the depot (with me in
the second car), and no tram used these tracks ever again...
